Because generally male prefer larger female, we determined whether the elements of quivering such as the number, the amplitude, and the distance are affected by female body size. Additionally, quivering changes towards oviposition; therefore, we also identified the essential time for the male to succeed in his courtship behaviour. We conducted two experiments to measure quivering parameters: (i) measuring the number and the amplitude of quivering by the acceleration data logger and (ii) measuring the distance between sexes during quivering by observation of recorded video. From the first experiment, there was no significant relationship between the ratio of female-to-male body lengths and the number and the amplitude of quivering, while an important relationship between the body length ratio and the distance between sexes from the second experiment. Therefore, we think the distance is more significant than the number or vigour of quivering for male choice, and males quiver more closely to a larger female to increase reproductive success. In addition, when the body length ratio of the sexes is 1.01, the distance during quivering is the shortest. So, there is a possibility that the reproduction of chum salmon is based on size-assortative mating. And both experiments also showed that male quiver passively as spawning approaches. We suggest that males may not quiver actively for smooth mating as females spawning approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":11422,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Freshwater Fish","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139231664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, otolith microchemistry and genetics were combined to investigate patterns of straying over ecological and evolutionary time, respectively, between neighbouring rivers flowing into Mariager fjord, Denmark. Otolith microchemistry was used to determine the river of origin for sea trout (<i>Salmo trutta</i>) upon their return to freshwater and 288 SNP markers were used to determine genetic structure among the rivers in the fjord. In this system, where the distance between rivers is short, otolith microchemistry achieved 80% accuracy in assigning juvenile brown trout to their natal river, thus allowing us to determine that approximately 43% of the adult sea trout had returned to non-natal rivers to spawn, with a similar proportion of strayers and natal homers in all of the rivers. Genetic analysis further supported that there was substantial gene flow among individuals originating from different rivers, indicating that sea trout in Mariager fjord make up one population.

We highlight the potential that species evolutionary histories, that is connections through time, reconstructed using species distributions and phylogenies may improve predictions of species responses to environmental change. Identifying species interdependencies, including undiscovered interactions that support survival or reproduction, could provide insights into how species losses may cascade as aquatic communities unravel. Finally, efforts to elucidate diverse connections between people and freshwater biodiversity, particularly where fisheries are historic and streams mostly go unnoticed, may prove essential to building public support for conservation measures.

Nutrition analysis indicated that olive alone was a low-quality diet item but has the potential to provide a reliable energy source. We used seasonal data to estimate the energetic contribution of olive fruit to catfish populations using a bioenergetic model, which estimated that olive fruit accounted for 35.6% of energy (Joules) consumed by catfish populations and satisfied 38% of their metabolic demand.

Bluehead Chubs (<i>Nocomis leptocephalus</i>) build gravel nests for spawning, which can reduce negative effects of sedimentation for lithophilic species including invertebrates and other taxa. Our goal was to test the SGH using chubs and benthic assemblages as a model system. We surveyed assemblages in chub nests, paired unmodified substrate and reach-wide samples in 10 Piedmont streams in South Carolina, USA, placed across a gradient of sedimentation. Based on the SGH, we predicted benthic assemblage diversity in chub nests would show no relationship to increasing embeddedness but that diversity in unmodified substrate should decrease with embeddedness. We found that taxa counts, richness and Shannon diversity were higher in chub nests than unmodified substrate but were lower than reach-wide samples. Canonical correspondence analyses indicated benthic assemblages differed between nests and unmodified substrate, but assemblages in both microhabitats were nested subsets of the more diverse reach-wide assemblage. Contrary to our hypotheses, diversity in both microhabitats decreased significantly with substrate embeddedness but was consistently higher in nests. While substrate modification by chubs clearly facilitated benthic diversity at the microhabitat scale, it was not sufficient to overcome the worst effects of sedimentation. This study provides mixed evidence for SGH in streams; chub nesting appears to be facilitative at the microhabitat scale but may not have reach-wide effects on benthic assemblages in this system.</p>","PeriodicalId":11422,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Freshwater Fish","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/eff.12748","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135924986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
