    Notes: The gonad development in the red-throat emperor Lethrinus miniatus is described and the first detailed evidence for protogyny in this species provided. The identification of transitional individuals, bimodal sex-specific size-frequency distributions and female biased sex ratios suggest that L. miniatus is most likely a protogynous hermaphrodite. Transitional L. miniatus gonads were characterized by the concurrent degeneration of all oocytes and the proliferation of spermatocysts near the edge of the lamellae, an increase in blood vessels along strands of stromal tissue within the lamellae and the formation of multiple sperm sinuses. The sites of oocyte degeneration and proliferation of spermatocysts were spatially segregated. An increase in blood vessels along strands of stromal tissue within the lamellae of transitional phase gonads is likely to assist in the breakdown of oocytes and the proliferation of spermatocysts. Most mature resting females containing spermatocysts occurred within the transitional size-frequency distribution, suggesting that the presence of spermatocysts in these females may be an early sign of sex change. Oocytes within female gonads were interrupted by filamentous strands of stromal tissue within the lamellae. The testis contained a remanent ovarian lumen but no residual oocytes. Three characteristics of transitional L. miniatus gonads were found to be unusual and described for few other species of coral reef fishes. These included the absence of oocytes within testes, increased numbers of blood vessels, and the presence of strands of stromal tissue within the lamellae.

    Notes: Molecular tools were used to investigate relationships between species of Plectropomus, an Indo-Pacific group with a potentially recent evolutionary history on the Great Barrier Reef. Plectropomus laevis appeared to be basal, with evidence of hybridization between P. leopardus/maculatus and P. maculatusllaevis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß der Indolylessigsäure (IES) auf die Wanderung von radioaktivem Phosphor wurde an dekapitierten Sprossen von Populus robusta nach Entfernung ihrer Knospen und an dekapitierten Stengeln von Pisum sativum (var. Meteor) untersucht. Bereits nach wenigen Stunden war eine Anhäufung von 32P am Ort der Auxinzufuhr zu erkennen. Durch Dampf-Ringelungsversuche ließ sich bei Pisum zeigen, daß der Auxin-induzierte Transport über das Phloem erfolgt; weitere Beobachtungen lassen darauf schließen, daß dieser Effekt unabhängig vom Wachstum sein dürfte. Wenn man gleichzeitig mit IES Trijodbenzoesäure (TIBA) auf die apikale Schnittfläche aufbringt oder in einer Zone zwischen Auxinquelle und Injektionsstelle des 32P als Paste auf die Oberfläche des Sprosses aufträgt, so wird der Längstransport des markierten Phosphors erheblich gehemmt. Es wurden auch noch einige andere Verbindungen von Wuchsstoffcharakter geprüft. Von ihnen führte nur Naphthyloxyessigsäure zu einem ähnlichen Effekt wie IES; andere Wachstumsregulatoren wie Kinetin oder Gibberellinsäure förderten den 32P-Transport nicht. Untersuchungen an isolierten Pappelsprossen zeigten, daß der auxininduzierte Stofftransport nur in solchen Sprossen zu beobachten ist, deren Knospen vollständig entfernt worden waren. Auch hier scheint es sich um einen Transport im Phloem zu handeln. Die Wanderung von 32P ließ sich stets leichter in akropetaler Richtung induzieren. Die geschilderten Ergebnisse werden in Beziehung zu einigen neuerdings vorgeschlagenen Theorien des Transportmechanismus im Phloem diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The role of indolylacetic acid (IAA) in influencing the movement of radiophosphorus from a remote locus has been investigated in the decapitated stems of Pisum sativum (var. Meteor) and disbudded shoots of Populus robusta. It has been shown after only a few hours that the radioisotope accumulates at the region where the auxin was applied. By steam-girdling experiments with pea, it was established that auxin-induced transport occurs via the phloem and other obserbations suggest that this effect may be independent of growth. When tri-iodobenzoic acid was applied together with IAA at the stump or to the surface of the stem between the IAA source and the injection point of the tracer, the transport of 32P along the stem was greatly reduced. Of a number of auxin-type substances tested, only naphthoxyacetic acid gave a comparable response to that obtained with IAA, whilst other growth regulators such as kinetin or gibberellic acid did not stimulate 32P transport. Studies with isolated poplar cuttings showed that auxin-induced transport could only be demonstrated by completely disbudded shoots. Again, phloem transport seemed to be involved and the movement of 32P could be more readily induced in an acropetal direction. The results are discussed in relation to some recently proposed theories concerning the mechanism of translocation in the phloem.

    Notes: Summary Pieris rapae and P. brassicae feed on the same host plants and have synchronized seasons. P. brassicae, whose larvae are twice the size of P. rapae, lays eggs in clusters of 40–100 eggs whereas P. rapae lays single eggs. In this paper we examine how egg clustering may be advantageous for P. brassicae. The larval development of each species was studied, and found not to differ significantly. P. brassicae larvae were observed to migrate from their host plant after defoliating it. A comparison of the efficiency of host plant utilization by the two pierid species was undertaken by measuring the effect of larval feeding on the growth of their host plants (kale and brussel sprouts). The results show that egg clustering is advantageous for larval fitness in terms of host resource exploitation, and we suggest that P. brassicae is adapted for ovipositing on clumped vegetation, while P. rapae is selected for exploiting isolated plants.

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR-We would like to offer a different perspective from that of Keymer et al.l on the recent paper by Tibayrenc and colleagues2. With the exception of the malaria parasite Plasmodium, clonality is the conventional wisdom for parasitic protozoa, not a novel working hypothesis. Much of the recent ...
