This study examines trophic ecology and niche partitioning among eleven mormyrid fish species in the Sanaga River system using stable isotopes, revealing differences in isotope signals and ecological niche diversification.

The paper examines the relationship between ecological traits and olfactory receptor gene expansions in ray-finned fishes, finding convergent increases in olfactory system size in amphibious species.

The paper examines developmental changes in opsin gene expression across ray-finned fishes, finding increased rod and long-wavelength sensitive cone opsin importance and decreased shorter wavelength sensitive cone opsin expression.

The paper investigates the evolutionary history of RH2 opsin genes in teleost fishes, finding multiple ancestral and recent duplications, losses, and conversions across 115 species.

The paper identifies convergent evolution of green-sensitive LWS opsins in teleost fishes through genomic, structural, and expression analyses, showing repeated molecular and functional shifts toward green light sensitivity.

The paper shows deep-sea fish larvae primarily express cone opsins, switching to rod opsins in adulthood, with some species retaining cone dominance throughout development.

The paper presents a long-read genome assembly of the round goby and identifies gene family expansions associated with its ecological success in novel environments.

The paper identifies multiple rod opsin expansions in deep-sea fish genomes, showing that some species use multiple rod opsins for vision in dim light.
