Previous models of the evolution of selfish transposable genetic elements have failed to include the possibility that transposition may be limited by shortage of a host-encoded factor. The titration of host factors may be important in limiting the rate of transpositional increase in these elements.

Chaos is the likely outcome of the interaction between a parasite and a host with discrete generations, if the parasite's virulence is high and if transmission from one generation to the next is held constant. We studied two alternative routes of transmission-vertical transmission from infecteds to
Four stocks of Argentine anchovy __Engraulis anchoita__ in the southβwest Atlantic, south of 34Β°S were identified by the use of parasites as biological tags. A total of 671 fish were examined for parasites and 19 parasite species were found in 664 Argentine anchovies. The parasite populations and bo
