| localization and pattern of the mitotic activity in the central nervous system of developing oviparous and viviparous teleosts. | the subject of this work is an analysis of the mitotic activity in the developing spinal cord and rhombencephalon of the oviparous teleost jordanella floridae and the viviparous teleost gambusia affinis (cyprinodontoidei). in gambusia there is considerable and long lasting mitotic activity that decreases gradually and is still present 20 days after birth. in jordanella the mitotic activity is concentrated in the early stages of development, it then decreases drastically and practically disappear ... | 1983 | 6688906 |

| the ultrastructure of the eye of the mosquitofish gambusia affinis. | the ultrastructure of the tissue components of the eye of gambusia affinis, excluding the sensory cells, is described. the cornea consists of two different sections of collagenous layers of different density. the choroid includes an argentea composed of alpha- and beta-melanophores, lipopterinophores and a choriocapillaris associated with the rete mirabile of the choroid body, bruch's membrane, underlying the retinal pigment layer, can develop complex associations with fibroblasts delimiting the ... | 1982 | 7066979 |
| on the relationship between alcohol narcosis and membrane fluidity. | we have examined the relationship between membrane fluidity and the alcohol-induced loss of righting reflex at different temperatures using the fish gambusia affinis. the potency of ethanol and hexanol increased dramatically with temperature. ethanol-induced narcosis could be antagonized by a reduction in incubation temperature. both an increase in temperature and the addition of ethanol caused an increase in membrane fluidity. however, membrane fluidity itself did not correlate with narcosis an ... | 1982 | 6897749 |
| size specific predation by herons and its effect on the sex-ratio of natural populations of the mosquito fish gambusia affinis baird and girard. | sex-ratios of gambusia affinis populations in freshwater marshes in the camargue (rhône delta), are highly biased in favour of males, whereas the sex-ratios in ditches are close to unity. studies of the diet of free living birds and experimental studies on prey size selection in captivity show that the abnormal sex-ratios in marshes can be attributed to differential heron predation. ditches are relatively free from predation. mature female gambusia are larger, and have an energy content 5-25 tim ... | 1982 | 28311103 |
| bioaccumulation of 95mtc in fish and snails. | concentration factors for technetium recommended in radiological assessment models for freshwater biota are default values based on the behavior of iodine in the environment. in this study a small experimental freshwater pond was spiked with 95mtc to obtain data for calculating concentration factors for fish and snails. a model using the pond data was developed to calculate steady-state body burdens for freshwater biota. the concentration factors based on the calculated body burden for carp (cap ... | 1982 | 6896045 |

| glycogen in the central nervous system of adults and developing anamnia. | the distribution of glycogen in the central nervous system of the viviparous teleost gambusia affinis and of the oviparous teleost jordanella floridae during development and in the adults, was examined. it emerged that the glycogen pattern in adults of gambusia and jordanella is very similar, whereas there are considerable differences during development. these differences were related to the different ways in which development takes place in the two species. | 1980 | 7415396 |

| muscle esterases of the mosquitofish, gambusia affinis. | 1. muscle esterases of gambusia affinis were separable into 14 electrophoretic bands that formed five groups according to differential physical and chemical properties. 2. nine phenotypic patterns were observed among the populations sampled, based on variation within the est-3 group of carboxylesterases. 3. a model for the molecular and genetic bases of the est-3 polymorphism was proposed on the basis of phenotypic patterns and physicochemical characterization. 4. the isozymes of est-3 are infer ... | 1977 | 318274 |
| uptake of 36cl-toxaphene in mosquito fish, gambusia affinis. | the toxicity syndrome of toxaphene to g. affinis was divided into 5 stages, and the residue level at each stage was determined. by the time fish were exhibiting the first toxicity response (stage 2), 90.3% of the mean fatal residue level had been sorbed. regression analysis indicated that sorption of toxaphene is a linear function with respect to time. excretion was not observed following an 8 hour exposure to 2ppm toxaphene. metabolic alteration of toxaphene during the experiments appeared to b ... | 1976 | 946771 |

| spermiogenesis in the teleost gambusia affinis with particular reference to the role played by microtubules. | during nuclear elongation in spermatids of gambusia affinis, a deep fossa is formed at the base of the nucleus in which the centriolar complex and proximal portion of the flagellum reside. to stabilize the positional relationship between the nucleus and centriolar complex, while nuclear morphogenesis is taking place, a series of microtubules develop which emanate from the centriolar complex and extend to the nuclear envelope lining the fossa. buttressing microtubules also develop within the nucl ... | 1975 | 1203975 |

| effect of running water on the predatory efficiency of the larvivorous fish gambusia affinis. | effects of standing and running water on the predatory efficiency of the larvivorous fish gambusia affinis was tested at 6 different current speed: 0.0, 0.8, 2.4, 4.5, 8.5 and 10.2 ml/sec. g. affinis predated 25 anopheles stephansi or 21 culex fatigans (iv instar) during the test period of 10 hours. the predatory efficiency of g. affinis decreased remarkably to about 60% and thereafter gradually to about 30% in aquaria containing running water at the speed of 2.4 and 10.2 ml/sec, respectively. | 1974 | 28308612 |

| ecosystem alteration by mosquitofish (gambusia affinis) predation. | in artificial pools gambusia affinis greatly reduced rotifer, crustacean, and insect populations and thus permitted extraordinary development of phytoplankton populations (2x10(8) cells per milliliter). other effects included decreased optical transmissivity and increased temperature of the water, decreased amounts of dissolved inorganic phosphorus, and increased amounts of dissolved organic phosphorus, inhibition of spirogyra, and replacement of one annelid, chaetogaster, by another, aeolosoma. | 1972 | 17808805 |

| sex ratio variation shapes the ecological effects of a globally introduced freshwater fish. | sex ratio and sexual dimorphism have long been of interest in population and evolutionary ecology, but consequences for communities and ecosystems remain untested. sex ratio could influence ecological conditions whenever sexual dimorphism is associated with ecological dimorphism in species with strong ecological interactions. we tested for ecological implications of sex ratio variation in the sexually dimorphic western mosquitofish, gambusia affinis. this species causes strong pelagic trophic ca ... | 0 | 26490793 |
