Synopsis Here we review the literature of a male poecillid’s sexually dimorphic body plan, behavior, and nervous system, including work dating from the mid 1800s to the mid 1990s as well as work in press or in preparation for publication. Rosa-Molinar described the remodeling of the sexually dimorphic anal fin appendicular support, confirmed earlier claims about the development of the male and ...

In this study, we synthesized and characterized (UV–vis, XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, AFM) Trewia nudiflora-assisted silver nanoparticles (Tn-AgNPs). The toxicity of T. nudiflora leaf aqueous extract Tn-AgNPs was tested against Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus larvae its LC50 values were 121.82/16.69, 130.51/18.11, 142.38/19.53 μg mL–1, respectively. Moreover, the biotoxicity ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the levels of heavy metal bioconcentration of the mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) in Shadegan international wetland. Sampling including the water, waterbed sediment and mosquitofish was carried out from the selected sampling sites during October and November 2011, and analyzed by the ICP-OES. Results show that the water has poor qualitative condition, a...
