Reproductive Timing in Marine Fishes: Variability, Temporal Scales, and Methods

摘要: Abstract Reproductive timing can be defined as the temporal pattern of reproduction over a lifetime. Although reproductive is highly variable in marine fishes, certain traits are universal, including sexual maturity, undergoing one or more cycles, participating spawning events within cycle, release eggs offspring, aging, and death. These commonly occur at four scales: lifetime, annual, intraseasonal, diel. It has long been known that affects success, especially terms onset maturity match mismatch between seasonal offspring survival. However, comprehensive understanding variability species, populations, scales lacking. In addition, there need to assess how population's resilience. Because natural selection occurs individual level, this necessitates an ...
