First case of a reversed Parabothus taiwanensis Amaoka & Shen, 1993 from Taiwan (Pleuronectiformes: Bothidae), with first evidence of situs inversus viscerum in bothid [PDF]
PeerJBackground Reversed condition is rarely found in most flatfishes in natural environment, except for some certain species. The mechanism controlling the reversals in flatfishes has been studied in some cultivated species, whereas some have only few cases ...

Eye-sidedness does not drive differences in growth and maturation in the Indian halibut (Psettodes erumei) from the Western Arabian Gulf [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe Indian halibut Psettodes erumei (Family Psettodidae), a primitive lineage of flatfishes exhibiting both sinistral and dextral morphs, provides a unique model for examining the evolutionary significance of morphological asymmetry in flatfishes.

A generalized Holling type II model for the interaction between dextral-sinistral snails and Pareas snakes [PDF]
Applied Mathematical Modelling, 2019 Producción CientíficaPareatic snakes possess outstanding asymmetry in the mandibular tooth number, which has probably been caused by its evolution to improve the feeding on the predominant dextral snails.
