DOI: 10.1002/dvdy.24513
Abstract: Background: Austrofundulus limnaeus is an annual killifish from the Maracaibo basin of Venezuela. Annual killifishes are unique among vertebrates in their ability to enter into a state of dormancy at up to three distinct developmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/dvdy.24519
Abstract: Populations of annual killifishes persist in temporary water bodies over the dry season through the expression of diapause in their droughtâresistant embryos. Environmental cues may influence expression of the diapause phenotype during embryonic incubation. Millerichthys… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10522-021-09931-0
Abstract: Annual killifish are among the most remarkable extremophile species with the shortest vertebrate life span. Few studies have reported on the oxidative balance throughout their life cycle and its association to the natural aging process… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-22878-6
Abstract: The natural history of model organisms is often overlooked despite its importance to correctly interpret the outcome of laboratory studies. Ageing is particularly understudied in natural populations. To address this gap, we present lifetime demographic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.13385
Abstract: To assess whether the annual killifish Nothobranchius wattersi responds plastically to a desiccation risk and whether this response is life stage dependent, life-history traits such as maturation time, fecundity and life span were experimentally measured… read more here.

GABA metabolism is crucial for long-term survival of anoxia in annual killifish embryos
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Experimental Biology"
DOI: 10.1242/jeb.229716
Abstract: ABSTRACT In most vertebrates, a lack of oxygen quickly leads to irreparable damages to vital organs, such as the brain and heart. However, there are some vertebrates that have evolved mechanisms to survive periods of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2023.959611
Abstract: Introduction: Deciphering the biological and physical requirements for the outset of multicellularity is limited to few experimental models. The early embryonic development of annual killifish represents an almost unique opportunity to investigate de novo cellular… read more here.
