The present study was aimed to analyse the proximate composition and endophytic microbial colonization in six marine fishes such as Nemipterus japonicas, Epinephelus areolatus, Lutjanusquin quelineatus, Scolopsis bimaculatus, Lutjanus decussate and Lethrinus lensus, were collected from Mudasalodai coastal region, Tamil Nadu, South east coast of India. Maximum protein recorted Lethrinus lensus 4...

In a recent paper, we demonstrated that male-female genetic relatedness determines male probability of paternity in experimental sperm competition in the Peron's tree frog (Litoria peronii), with a more closely related male outcompeting his rival. Here, we test the hypothesis that a male-male difference in siring success with one female significantly predicts the corresponding difference in sir...
