The first recording of Piagetiella titan (Menoponidae: Mallophaga) on a white pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus, Linneaus) in Turkey.
During the examination of a wounded white pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) brought to the clinic of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Selcuk University, lice infestation of the oral cavity was observed and 26 lice were collected. The lice were identified as Piagetiella titan during microscopical examination. No other report of this particular subject in Turkey was found. Therefore, this original o...
متن کاملDevelopmental allometry of pulmonary structure and function in the altricial Australian pelican Pelecanus conspicillatus.
Quantitative methods have been used to correlate maximal oxygen uptake with lung development in Australian pelicans. These birds produce the largest altricial neonates and become some of the largest birds capable of flight. During post-hatching growth to adults, body mass increases by two orders of magnitude (from 88 g to 8.8 kg). Oxygen consumption rates were measured at rest and during exposu...
متن کاملRespiration and energetics of embryonic development in a large altricial bird, the Australian pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus).
We examined whether the previously reported low cost of embryonic development in pelicans could be attributed to a more efficient conversion of egg energy to hatchling tissues as a result of high initial egg water content, low embryonic metabolic rate and growth later in incubation than in more precocious species. We therefore determined egg and hatchling composition and the development of embr...
متن کاملHostility And Aggression in Schizophrenia : Research Since 1960
The inappropriate handling of feelings of hostility, and the accompanying inappropriate expression of aggression, have long been recognized as integral parts of the symptomatology of schizophrenia. Detailed study of the relationship between hostility and Psychopathology awaited sophistication in statistical and methodological procedures, however, and not until the 1950s was much empirical atten...
متن کاملEarth's energy imbalance since 1960 in observations and CMIP5 models
Observational analyses of running 5 year ocean heat content trends (Ht) and net downward top of atmosphere radiation (N) are significantly correlated (r ∼ 0.6) from 1960 to 1999, but a spike in Ht in the early 2000s is likely spurious since it is inconsistent with estimates of N from both satellite observations and climate model simulations. Variations in N between 1960 and 2000 were dominated ...
