The fathead minnow in aquatic toxicology: past, present and future.

Gerald T. Ankley, +1 more
- 10 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: Attributes of the fathead minnow make it an excellent model for addressing new challenges in aquatic toxicology, including identification of sensitive life-stages/endpoints for chemicals with differing modes/mechanisms of action, predicting population-level effects based on data collected from lower levels of biological organization, and exploring the emerging role of genomics in research and regulation.

Nutrient spiralling in streams: implications for nutrient limitation and invertebrate activity

J. D. Newbold, +3 more
- 01 Nov 1982 - 
TL;DR: The model for steady-state spiralling of a limiting nutrient predicts that most of the downstream transport of nutrient occurs in particulate or unavailable form when nutrient limitation is severe; in this case, transportability of particulates is a major determinant of spiral length.

Effective/census population size ratio estimation: a compendium and appraisal.

Friso P. Palstra, +1 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that the estimation of Ne/N ratios in natural populations could be significantly improved, discuss several options for doing so, and briefly outline some future research directions.

Large-scale intraspecific variation in life-history traits of European freshwater fish

Aurelie Blanck, +1 more
- 21 Dec 2006 - 
TL;DR: Latitude, in contrast to habitat type, is an important factor influencing several traits of geographically widely dispersed populations of multiple European freshwater fish species, and traits such as growth rate, mortality rate and length of breeding season varied more between populations than between species.
