| metal levels in tissues of florida gar (lepisosteus platyrhincus) from lake okeechobee. | there is considerable concern about the effects of contaminants on organisms at higher trophic levels, as well as interest in developing bioindicators of ecological health. in this article we examine the levels of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, mercury, and selenium in the gonads, liver and muscle of florida gar (lepisosteus platyrhincus) from lake okeechobee in south-central florida. gar are top-level predators in freshwater ecosystems. we expected that there would be differences ... | 2004 | 15887372 |
| a new paramacroderoides species (digenea: macroderoididae) from two species of gar in the southeastern united states. | paramacroderoides kinsellai n. sp. is described based on specimens collected from the spotted gar (lepisosteus oculatus) from the pascagoula river, jackson county, mississippi, and the florida gar (lepisosteus platyrhincus) from cross creek, alachua county, florida. the new species is the third recognized species of paramacroderoides. two indian species of paramacroderoides, originally described within pseudoparamacroderoides, are transferred into macroderoides. paramacroderoides kinsellai n. sp ... | 2010 | 20481660 |
| new macroderoides (digenea: macroderoididae) from florida gar with molecular phylogeny of the genus. | abstract macroderoides minutus n. sp. is described based on specimens collected from the florida gar (lepisosteus platyrhincus) from orange lake, alachua county, florida. the new species is the ninth recognized species of macroderoides and is morphologically closest to m. flavus and m. typicus. it differs from both species in having a smaller body, ventral sucker larger than the oral sucker, substantially higher body length to width ratio, fewer and larger eggs, and other characters. comparison ... | 2011 | 21506820 |
| observations on the life histories of paramacroderoides pseudoechinus sp. n. (digenea: plagiorchioidea) and p. echinus venard 1941, trematodes from the florida gar. | paramacroderoides pseudoechinus sp. n. is described from the intestine of lepisosteus platyrhincus. life history studies reveal that developmental stages previously reported for p. echinus from gars belong instead to the new species. the account of the life history of p. echinus is emended accordingly and differences in structure and behavior between that species and p. pseudoechinus are described. | 1975 | 1185428 |
| climate extremes drive changes in functional community structure. | the response of communities to climate extremes can be quite variable. much of this variation has been attributed to differences in community-specific functional trait diversity, as well as community composition. yet, few if any studies have explicitly tested the response of the functional trait structure of communities following climate extremes (ces). recently in south florida, two independent, but sequential potential ces took place, a 2010 cold front, followed by a 2011 drought, both of whic ... | 2014 | 24733813 |
