abstract:
Evidence is presented that apoptosis of intestinal enterocytes is implicated in adult mortality
immediately after the breeding season in Aphia minuta, a paedomorphic goby that spends its
whole life cycle of <1 year in the water column as a pelagic and planktophagous fish. This
could be the first documented case in which apoptosis triggers a population dynamic process
such as natural mortality in a vertebrate.
