Composition and structure of the parasitic fauna of Hypostomus spp. (Loricariidae: Hypostominae) from a Neotropical river in Brazil
Hypostomus are abundant in Brazilian rivers and streams. In the Ivaí River, the loricariids represent 20.3% of the total species of the basin. Of...

Parallel habitat acclimatization is realized by the expression of different genes in two closely related salamander species (genus Salamandra)
The utilization of similar habitats by different species provides an ideal opportunity to identify genes underlying adaptation and acclimatization....
