Head morphology of the ricefish, Oryzias latipes (Teleostei: Beloniformes).

abstract：:The penises of bats are taxonomically distinctive in size and shape. In addition, they are variable in microscopic anatomy, indicating that histomorphological studies of copulatory organs of bats may help understanding their successful reproductive strategies. We studied adult males of 13 species of vespertilionid and...
