| hypoechinorhynchus robustus sp. n. from notolabrus parilus (labridae) from western australia with a discussion on the validity of the hypoechinorhynchidae (acanthocephala: palaeacanthocephala). | hypoechinorhynchus robustus sp. n. is described from notolabrus parilus (richardson) (labridae) from pt peron, western australia. it has a proboscis with 30 hooks arranged in ten longitudinal rows: 5 rows of a small apical spine, a large anterior hook and a small posterior spine, 5 rows of a large anterior hook, a middle spine and a posterior spine. the new species is distinguished from other species of the genus by having a set of 5 small apical spines anterior to the large hooks on the probosc ... | 1999 | 10730203 |
| do the maximum sizes, ages and patterns of growth of three reef-dwelling labrid species at two latitudes differ in a manner conforming to the metabolic theory of ecology? | the size and age data and patterns of growth of three abundant, reef-dwelling and protogynous labrid species (coris auricularis, notolabrus parilus and ophthalmolepis lineolata) in waters off perth at c. 32° s and in the warmer waters of the jurien bay marine park (jbmp) at c. 30° s on the lower west coast of australia are compared. using data for the top 10% of values and a randomization procedure, the maximum total length (l(t) ) and mass of each species and the maximum age of the first two sp ... | 2012 | 23130692 |
