This important work examines how microexons contribute to brain activity, structure, and behavior. The authors find that loss of microexon sequences generally has subtle impacts on these metrics in ...

Fish eggs drifted like tiny lanterns, their yolk sacs glowing in the sunlight. Fish larvae small as ladybugs darted about. A sergeant major damselfish the size of a dime appeared huge by ...

The researchers set out to investigate the roles of "slicks" as nursery habitats for tiny larval fish. Slicks are naturally occurring, ribbon-like, smooth water features of the oceans, which are ...

By taking advantage of a "giving up" behavior exhibited by zebrafish, the ability to image the fish’s entire brain, and a unique virtual reality system, a team of researchers from HHMI's Janelia ...

Identification of eggs, first, and second instar larvae by morphological characters can be extremely difficult, and, because these stages are relatively short lived and seldom encountered during the ...

AN upcoming aquatic research project between Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University and Hokkaido University (HU), which are both based in Japan, and the Ilocos ...

Researchers have discovered a rare example of 'great fish parenting' with a common coral reef species found to actively protect their young by eating parasites.
