Annual Fishes (eBook, PDF)

Life History Strategy, Diversity, and Evolution
Redaktion: Berois, Nibia; De Sa, Rafael O.; Garcia, Graciela

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first to give a complete overview of the current knowledge of annual fishes, covering their life cycle, reproductive biology, evolutionary ecology, reproductive behavior, sexual selection, genetics, speciation, and integrative and conservation strategies. It brings together researchers in different areas of annual fishes to summarize previous work, overview the current research, and highlight promising areas of research, and also notes the gaps in knowledge that challenge future research on these unique and important models in vertebrate biology.

Autorenporträt

Nibia Berois is a professor of cell biology and developmental biology at the Universidad de la Republica, Montevideo, Uruguay, where she earned her PhD in biology. She is a Grade 4 researcher at Programa de Desarrollo de Ciencias Básicas (PEDECIBA) and Level 2 researcher at Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI). Her research focuses on the biology of reproduction and development, with emphasis on neotropical annual fishes. She is the author of more than 40 scientific papers in her research area. Graciela García is a professor of genetics at the Universidad de la Republica, Montevideo, Uruguay, where she also earned her PhD in biology. She is a Grade 4 research at PEDECIBA and Level 2 researcher at the SNI. She is the author of more than 40 scientific papers, mainly concerning neotropical annual fishes. She is, in general, an animal geneticist with special interests in the population genetics and evolution of fishes, phylogeography, and speciation in different fish models. Rafael O. de Sá is a professor of biology at the University of Richmond, Virginia. He earned his PhD in zoology from the University of Texas at Austin. He held a Fulbright Scholar Distinguished chair at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, from 2013-2014. He is a Grade 4 researcher at PEDECIBA and an associate researcher at the SNI. His general training has been as an evolutionary biologist with expertise in molecular and morphological phylogenies, systematics, and taxonomy. He is the author of over 100 papers.
