We report on basic natural history, life history, and diet of Priapella chamulae (Poeciliidae) from Arroyo Tres, a small creek in Tabasco, southern México. The tertiary (adult) sex ratio was heavily female-skewed, female P. chamulae produced medium-sized offspring (~2.3 mg), one clutch at a time (i.e., showed no superfetation), and relied predominantly on yolk for embryo provisioning (Matrotrop...

In patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart defects, ultrastructural abnormalities are observed in endothelial cells, which suggest heightened metabolic function. If endothelial production of the von Willebrand factor (vWF) is increased, this may be associated with abnormal interactions with platelets leading to worsening of the pulmonary hypertension. We therefore ...
