TL;DR: To achieve true sustainability, assessments of new projects must go beyond local impacts by accounting for synergies with existing dams, as well as land cover changes and likely climatic shifts, and call for more sophisticated and holistic hydropower planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
NCBI Taxonomy: a comprehensive update on curation, resources and tools.
Conrad L. Schoch,Stacy Ciufo,Mikhail Domrachev,Carol L. Hotton,Sivakumar Kannan,Rogneda Khovanskaya,Detlef D. Leipe,Richard McVeigh,Kathleen O'Neill,Barbara Robbertse,Shobha Sharma,Vladimir Soussov,John P. Sullivan,Lu Sun,Seán Turner,Ilene Karsch-Mizrachi +15 more
TL;DR: The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Taxonomy includes organism names and classifications for every sequence in the nucleotide and protein sequence databases of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration.
Journal ArticleDOI
A phylogenetic analysis of the major groups of catfishes (Teleostei: Siluriformes) using rag1 and rag2 nuclear gene sequences.
TL;DR: Higher-level relationships among catfishes were investigated by parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of two nuclear genes across 110 catfish species representing 36 of 37 families and Conorhynchos, confirming monophyly of Siluriformes, of most siluriform families and of a number of multifamily groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual Signal Evolution Outpaces Ecological Divergence during Electric Fish Species Radiation
Matthew E. Arnegard,Peter B. McIntyre,Luke J. Harmon,Miriam Leah Zelditch,William G. R. Crampton,Justin K. Davis,John P. Sullivan,Sébastien Lavoué,Carl Hopkins +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantitatively compare divergence rates for four traits in African mormyrid fishes, which use an electrical communication system with few extrinsic constraints on divergence, and demonstrate rapid signal evolution in the Paramormyrops species flock compared to divergence in morphology, size and trophic ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular systematics of the african electric fishes (Mormyroidea: teleostei) and a model for the evolution of their electric organs
TL;DR: A reconstruction of electrocyte evolution on the basis of the best-supported topology suggests that electrocytes with penetrating stalks evolved once early in the history of the mormyrids followed by multiple paedomorphic reversals to electrocyces with non-penetrating stalks.
