In Europe G6PD deficiency is encountered most frequently in Sardinia and Greece but may also be found in other Mediterranean countries (Sansone, Piga, and Segni, 1958; Szeinberg, Asher, and Sheba, 1958), including Yugoslavia (Fraser, Grunwald, and Stamatoyannopoulos, 1966). The occurrence of haemolytic anaemia after ingestion of fava beans in Yugoslavia was first reported as a clinical finding ...

Theory predicts that monogamy is adaptive in symbiotic crustaceans inhabiting relatively small and morphologically simple hosts in tropical environments where predation risk away from hosts is high. We tested this prediction in the shrimp Odontonia katoi, which inhabits the atrial chamber of the ascidian Polycarpa aurata in the Coral Triangle. Preliminary observations in O. katoi indicated that...

An unknown Vincetoxicum species has recently been discovered in eastern Thailand. It is a twiner that resembles its morphology flexuosum s.l., variable taxon widely occurring from tropical Asia to Australia. Morphological examination showed despite similarities growth habit, leaf shape, gross appearance of inflorescence structure and flower colour, these two elements exhibit substantial differe...
