Background Sexual selection and conflicts within and between sexes promote morphological diversity of reproductive traits within species.Variation in the morphology of diagnostic reproductive characters within species offer an excellent opportunity to study these evolutionary processes as drivers of species diversification.The African monarch, Dana

Cymothoidae are parasitic isopods that infest fishes inhabiting marine, brackish, and fresh-water environments.The systematics, distribution, and host specificity of cymothoids is often unknown.In this study, morphological observations and molecular analysis using the COI and 16S moustache stick on rRNA genes were conducted on a juvenile individual

This paper studies the adaptive finite-time fuzzy control issue associated with uncertain nonlinear systems that exhibit asymmetric constraints on the full state.A distinct function, constrained by camif draps nonlinear states, is designed to mitigate the excessive breach of these full-state boundaries.Unlike the standard barrier Lyapunov function
