DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02270-0
Abstract: Pontoscolex corethrurus is a well-known invasive earthworm in tropical zone which is believed to have originated from the Guayana Shield in South America and was described as parthenogenetic. A recent phylogenetic study revealed four cryptic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10661-020-08580-z
Abstract: Many environmental monitoring programs include an assessment of the health of fish populations using a sentinel species and include an indicator of reproductive potential. Knowledge of the reproductive strategy of the fish species is critical… read more here.

Insight on reproductive strategy in Portuguese waters of a commercial protogynous species, the black seabream Spondyliosoma cantharus (Sparidae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Fisheries Research"
DOI: 10.1016/j.fishres.2018.05.004
Abstract: Abstract Information on fish reproductive strategy is essential to understand population dynamics. Samples of black seabream, Spondyliosoma cantharus, were collected from the western Portuguese continental coast to investigate the reproductive cycle, the timing of spawning,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac042
Abstract: Abstract Insects have evolved numerous adaptations and colonized diverse terrestrial environments. Several polyneopterans, including dictyopterans (cockroaches and mantids) and locusts, have developed oothecae, but little is known about the molecular mechanism, physiological function, and evolutionary… read more here.

Dispersion of vendace eggs and larvae around potential nursery areas reveals their reproductive strategy
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Freshwater Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/fwb.13267
Abstract: Depending on their reproductive strategy, different fish species aim to aggregate or disperse eggs and larvae in their reproductive habitat. Many pelagic species disperse their eggs widely around the potential nursery areas. Larval dispersion or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ibi.12776
Abstract: The discovery of personality traits in animal populations may help to explain individual variation in breeding strategies. In the White‐collared Blackbird Turdus albocinctus, females, but not males, exhibited different nest defence behaviours that can be… read more here.

Reproductive strategy as a major factor determining female body size and fertility of a gregarious parasitoid
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Applied Entomology"
DOI: 10.1111/jen.12615
Abstract: The generally known “adult size‐fitness hypothesis” (ASFH) is applied to the gregarious parasitic wasp Anaphes flavipes (Foerster, 1841) (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae). ASFH is dependent on the reproductive strategy of the mother, which means the larger females… read more here.

Enhancing knowledge on low-value fishing species: the distinct reproductive strategy of two gurnard species.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.14849
Abstract: The depletion and overexploitation of several fish stock demands for a valorisation of non-target and discarded species. However, such species are often poorly studied, and information on their biological parameters must be gathered for effective… read more here.
