Access the Xiphophorus bibliography
umerous people have generously sent references to us to store in the Texas State University | San Marcos files and should be thanked. Such manuscripts are available to researchers by special request. Requests for references can be made by e-mail through Dr. Ron Walter.
t is noteworthy that this is ONLY the first approximation at a Xiphophorus bibliography. For the computerized databases, the keywords Platypoecilus (old Genus name for the Platyfish), Xiphophorus, Platyfish and Swordtail were used for the searches. This strategy can not cover all papers that have mentioned or even studied Xiphophorus, thus the bibliography is bound to be incomplete. Dissertations and meeting abstracts are especially incomplete. We should also note that these keywords typically retrieve a MUCH Larger volume of references, the vast majority of which are NOT really "Xiphophorus" articles. To some degree, we have used our discretion to eliminate such references.
e are striving to make this database as complete as possible, but WE NEED YOUR HELP!! If you see that there is an incomplete, improperly spelled/cited, or missing reference, please e-mail Dr. Walter and let us know. We will promptly take care of the problem. This is how the bibliography will become correct and more complete!
e at Texas State University | San Marcos house only ~1000 of the Xiphophorus references, so any reprints or photocopies would be more than appreciated. They can be sent to us directly. References with the keyword "G, X" indicate that we do NOT have a reprint or photocopy of that paper. Please send Xiphophorus publication reprints or photocopied papers to: Al Martinez
