TL;DR: It is suggested that maturation and migration are closely linked to seasonal warming and the zooplankton cycle and it seems that this linkage favours maximum gonad production rather than adult survival.
Abstract: Some characteristics of Newfoundland capelin (Mallotus villosus) changed during 1991-1994. Peak spawning times were later than most years in the 1980s and fish were smaller. These changes occurred ...

TL;DR: In situ enclosure experiments indicate that the synchronous emergence of larval capelin during onshore winds, coupled with the reduced predator density at this time, results in predator satiation.
Abstract: We examined the hypothesis that the onshore wind-regulated initiation of larval emergence and drift in capelin (Mallotus villosus) was adaptive. Onshore winds were found to induce rapid water mass ...

TL;DR: Using multiple regression analysis, combinations of Macarangaand Mallotus species were formed and used to predict the separate forest structural parameters and the general level of disturbance of a forest.

TL;DR: Analysis of 7 yr of distribution, maturity, and bottom temperature data showed that the variation in the final spawning location was not large and spawning occurred where bottom temperatures exceeded approximately 2 °C, which supports the hypothesis that substrate is the ultimate factor affecting spawning location.
Abstract: Co-occurrence of beach- and offshore bottom-spawning populations of capelin (Mallotus villosus) in the Northwest Atlantic appears to be unusual. To explain the evolution of bottom-spawning in the o...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced one plastid (trnL-F) and three nuclear (ITS, ncpGS, phyC) markers for species representative of two closely related, large paleo(sub)tropical genera.
Abstract: Macaranga and Mallotus (Euphorbiaceae s.s.) are two closely related, large paleo(sub)tropical genera. To investigate the phylogenetic relationships between and within them and to determine the position of related genera belonging to the subtribe Rottlerinae, we sequenced one plastid (trnL-F) and three nuclear (ITS, ncpGS, phyC) markers for species representative of these genera. The analyses demonstrated the monophyly of Macaranga and the paraphyly of Mallotus and revealed three highly supported main clades. The genera Cordemoya and Deuteromallotus and the Mallotus sections Hancea and Oliganthae form a basal Cordemoya s.l. clade. The two other clades, the Macaranga clade and the Mallotus s.s. clade (the latter with Coccoceras, Neotrewia, Octospermum, and Trewia), are sister groups. In the Macaranga clade, two basal lineages (comprising mostly sect. Pseudorottlera) and a crown group with three geographically homogenous main clades were identified. The phylogeny of the Mallotus s.s. clade is less clear because of internal conflict in all four data sets. Many of the sections and informal infrageneric groups of Macaranga and Mallotus do not appear to be monophyletic. In both the Macaranga and Mallotus s.s. clades, the African and/or Madagascan taxa are nested in Asian clades, suggesting migrations or dispersals from Asia to Africa and Madagascar.
