Acoustic signals are sexual ornaments with an established role on mate choice in several taxa, but not in fish. Recent studies have suggested that fish vocal activity may signal male quality and influence male's reproductive success but experimental evidence is lacking. Here we made two experiments to test the hypothesis that vocal activity is essential for male breeding success in a highly vocal fish, the Lusi...

Nos tempos atuais assiste-se a alterações nos estilos de vida das crianças e jovens. Sempre conectada a uma contínua crescente industrialização, a sedentarização associada à falta de exercício físico parece ser um fator preocupante na maneira que promove o declínio dos níveis da Aptidão Física dos mais jovens e, consequentemente, na nota da disciplina de Educação Física. Desta feita, o presente estudo teve como...
In marine turtles, the sex of an individual is determined by temperatures experienced during embryonic development. Gonad histological observation is still the only reliable way to determine hatchling sex, hampering the study of reproduction and of the demographic consequences of context-dependent sex-ratios, a subject of interest in a warming planet. We investigated whether hatchling remains from predation by ...
