Journal ArticleDOI
The ‘shifting baseline’ phenomenon: a global perspective
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that low level ‘artisanal’ fishing can dramatically affect populations of slow-growing, late-maturing animals and that even on remote oceanic islands, stocks have been depleted and ecosystems degraded for millennia.
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.
