    Summary: This book provides a conceptually organized framework to understand the phenomenon of biological invasions at the Anthropocene global scale. Most advances toward that aim have been provided from North American and European researchers, with fewer contributions from Australia and South Africa. Here we fill the void from the Neotropics, focusing on the research experience in South American countries, with a strong emphasis on Argentina and Chile. The text is divided into two parts: The first half comprises self-contained chapters, providing a conceptual, bibliographic and empirical foundation in the field of invasion biology, from an Anthropocene perspective. The second half reviews the ecology, biogeography, and local impacts in South America of exotic species groups (European rabbit, Eurasian wild boar, Canadian beaver, North American mink, and Holarctic freshwater fishes), which are shown to be useful models for case studies of global relevance.

    In order to identity the source of excess secretion of prolactin in male patients, the pituitary tumors of 11 males with hyperprolactinaemia were studied by peroxidase-labelled antibody method using antibodies against human prolactin. Using light microscope, prolactin was demonstrated in most tumour cells in all cases. Ultrastructurally, prolactin was localized mainly on the secretory granules. Immunohistochemically positive cells were thought to correlate with first type of tumour cells which were the major component observed by regular electron microscopic study without immunohistochemical staining. These findings indicated the secretion of excess amount of prolactin by the tumour cells and were considered to be responsible for the category of Male Prolactin Secreting Pituitary Adenoma. The mechanism by which these male hyperprolactinaemic patients are endocrinologically non-functioning is also discussed.
