Field observations demonstrated that two gobiid species Amblygobius nocturnus and Valenciennea muralis have a monogamous mating system. Histological analyses showed an extreme reduction of male accessory organs relative to other gobiids in A. nocturnus, and their complete absence in V. muralis.

Field observations demonstrated that two gobiid species Amblygobius nocturnus and Valenciennea muralis have a monogamous mating system. Histological analyses showed an extreme reduction of male accessory organs relative to other gobiids in A. nocturnus, and their complete absence in V. muralis.File in questo prodotto:
