Abstract:
... The bitterness of racemic praziquantel (Rac‐PZQ) constrains its use as an in‐feed treatment against monogenean flukes in finfish aquaculture. Evidence exists in mammals that the R‐(−) enantiomer of PZQ is less bitter than the S‐(+) enantiomer. If fish exhibit this same response, then the recently described techniques for the large‐scale resolution of R‐(−)‐PZQ from Rac‐PZQ could facilitate the wid ...

Abstract:
... Shell thickness in mollusks is generally considered adaptive because of their effects on fitness. However, little is known about the genetic basis of shell thickness. This is important, because the response to selection and the subsequent adaptive microevolution of a trait, such as thickness is only possible when that trait exhibits additive genetic variation. Here, we estimated the narrow‐sense h ...
