I am choosing to do migratory patterns for the Anguillia freshwater eels.

Pankhurst N. W. 1982. Relation of Visual Changes to the onset of sexual maturation in the European eel (Anguilla Anguilla L.). Journal of Fish Biol 21: 1287-140 This article discusses the change in the body of the eels due to maturation. The sexual maturity of eels plays an important role for when the eels travel to sea. The eyes of eels change structurally which would be more advantageous for swimming in the ocean. Tsukamoto K. et al. 2002. Migration, speciation, and the evolution of diadromy in Anguillid eels. Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 59(12): 1989-1998 This article discusses the otolith of the eel, which is a part of the inner ear of the eel. It uses these to help track the migration of eels and the changes of fresh water to sea. It also shows the evolutionary similarities to eels that stay in salt water and those who become fresh water eels. Boe¨tius I, J. Boe¨tius .1980. Experimental maturation of female silver eels, Anguilla anguilla. Estimates of fecundity and energy reserves for migration and spawning. Dana 1:1–28 This article discusses the maturation process of females and how they change for the ability to reproduce in their bodies and hormones. Briones A. A. et al. 2007. Migratory Pattern and Habitat Use of tropical eels Anguilla Spp. (Teleostei: Anguillidae) In the Philippines, as revealed by otolith microchemistry. The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 14: 141-149 This article discusses the connection of calcium and strontium in eels migrating and how the levels change when the eels start to migrate. It uses the otolith to help measure these levels. Ellerby, D.J. et al.2001. Slow muscle power output of yellow- and silver-phase European eels (Anguilla anguilla L.): changes in muscle performance prior to migration. J Exp Biol 204: 1369-1379 This article discusses how the eels change their ability to use their muscles more efficiently when they start to migrate. It talks discusses different life stages and compares their muscle chemistry
