Journal ArticleDOI

Gene trees, species trees, and morphology converge on a similar phylogeny of living gars (Actinopterygii: Holostei: Lepisosteidae), an ancient clade of ray-finned fishes.

TL;DR: The completely resolved phylogeny inferred from the molecular data set with strong Bayesian posterior support at all nodes provided insights into the potential for introgressive hybridization and patterns of allopatric speciation in the evolutionary history of living gars, as well as a solid foundation for future examinations of functional diversification and evolutionary stasis in a "living fossil" lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pattern and scale in latitude–production relationships for freshwater fishes

TL;DR: Latitude has contrasting effects on fish production at different spatial scales and levels of biological organization, and while freshwater fish communities are somewhat more productive and diverse at lower latitudes, species production in northern populations is often surprisingly high.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying the contribution of zoos and aquariums to peer-reviewed scientific research

TL;DR: For example, conservation research is a key accreditation criterion of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) as mentioned in this paper, and conservation research at zoos and aquariums is an important aspect of biodiversity conservation and research.
