Lamprey FOXN1 rescues the block of thymic epithelial cell development in the mouse Foxn1 -deficient thymic rudiment Open

Ryo Morimoto, Margaret F. Docker, Jonah L. Yick, Jeremy B. Swann, Dagmar Diekhoff , et al. · 2025

All vertebrate adaptive immune systems exhibit distinct lymphocyte lineages. In jawless vertebrates, such as lampreys, T-like cells are thought to develop in lympho-epithelial structures at the tips of gill filaments, termed thymoids. Howe…

Integrating Adaptive Capacity Alters Outcomes When Modelling Effects of Warming on a Cold‐Water Fish in a Sub‐Arctic Ecosystem Open

Neil J. Mochnacz, Matthew M. Guzzo, Margaret F. Docker, Dan Isaak · 2025

Aim Local species distributions are often geographically restricted to a subset of environmental conditions across a species' full range, complicating forecasting climate warming effects. However, Bayesian species distribution models (SDM)…

The influence of climate change on growth of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) Open

Haley K. Gendron, Ross F. Tallman, Margaret F. Docker · 2025

The Arctic is warming at an unprecedented rate and with longer growing seasons, greater rainfall, and less snowfall. Cold-adapted ectotherms, such as the Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (Linnaeus 1758), are likely to experience changes to…

Ten lessons for controlling invasive species: Wisdom from the long-standing sea lamprey control program on the Laurentian Great Lakes Open

Steven J. Cooke, Carrie L Baker, Julia L. Mida Hinderer, Michael J. Siefkes, Jessica Barber , et al. · 2025

Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America is among the largest and most successful control programs of an invasive species anywhere on the planet. The effort began more than 75 years ago; it un…

Urbanisation Is Associated With Reduced Genetic Diversity in Marine Fish Populations Open

Eleana Karachaliou, Chloé Schmidt, Evelien de Greef, Margaret F. Docker, Colin J. Garroway · 2025

The benefits to humans of living by the ocean have led many coastal settlements to grow into large, densely populated cities. Large coastal cities have had considerable environmental effects on marine ecosystems through resource extraction…

The second iteration of the international conference “Pathway to Increase Standards and Competency of eDNA Surveys” was held at the University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada from 18 June to 20 June 2023. During this environmental DNA (…

Species diversity in the new lamprey genus Occidentis, formerly classified as western North American ‘Lampetra’ Open

Kellie J. Carim, Grace Auringer, Margaret F. Docker, Claude B. Renaud, Benjamin J. Clemens , et al. · 2024

Accurate taxonomy is fundamental to the study and conservation of biodiversity. Because of their morphological similarities, most brook and river lampreys in western North America have been placed in the genus Lampetra along with lampreys …
