Another unique difference between Endlers and guppies is the appearance of the gonopodium on the males. The gonopodium is a modified anal fin that is used as a copulatory organ to inseminate the ...

According to Upama Aich, biologist and research fellow at the Monash University School of Biological Sciences, the low concentrations of fluoxetine changed the body condition and gonopodium size ...

Even the dimmest of our “low-information” brethren out there know not to flush their unused meds down the porcelain chute, right? You really shouldn’t need yet another reason to avoid such ...

The findings showed that male guppies exposed to even low levels of fluoxetine experienced an increase in the size of the gonopodium, a modified anal fin used to inseminate female guppies. A longer ...

“Even at low concentrations, fluoxetine altered the guppies’ body condition and increased the size of their gonopodium, while simultaneously reducing sperm velocity — an essential factor for ...

They measured key traits of the fish, such as body condition, colouration and the size of the gonopodium, a modified anal fin used as a reproductive organ by males. They also analysed critical ...

"Even at low concentrations, fluoxetine altered the guppies' body condition and increased the size of their gonopodium, while simultaneously reducing sperm velocity—an essential factor for ...

with Guppy males growing a larger sex organ (the gonopodium – a fin-like organ used to fertilize the female), reducing the velocity of their sperm and their overall body condition, and ...

Several characteristics were measured throughout the experiment to assess any changes in behavior or health, including body condition, coloration, gonopodium size – a modified anal fin used as a ...
