HOW SEDENTARY ARE GREYWING FRANCOLINS (FRANCOLINUS AFRICANUS )?

Ticks on crested francolins, Francolinus sephaena, and on the vegetation on a farm in Limpopo Province, South Africa.

Ticks were collected at approximately bi-monthly intervals between June 1996 and June 1997 from crested francolins, Francolinus sephaena, and from the vegetation on a mixed cattle and wildlife farm in Limpopo Province, South Africa. The birds were infested with the immature stages of 13 tick species, of which Amblyomma hebraeum, Amblyomma marmoreum and Hyalomma marginatum rufipes were the most ...

Food Taxes: How Likely Are Likely Effects?

Eastern Mediterranean chameleons ( Chamaeleo chamaeleon , Ch . africanus ) are distinct

Based on mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequences, we suggest that the founder individuals of the introduced Greek population of Chamaeleo africanus originated in the Nile Delta region of Egypt. In Ch. chamaeleon, we discovered in the eastern Mediterranean new 16S rRNA haplotypes, being highly distinct from previously published western Mediterranean haplotypes. Eastern Mediterranean haplotypes were fou...

Pnm-19: How Are Prenatal Screening Results after ART Success?

Background Down syndrome screening at first-trimester may cause a higher false positive rate in pregnant patients who have undergone assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Combining the second largest series of biophysical and biochemical tests in the first trimester of pregnancy after ART is mentioned in few studies. MaterialsAndMethods Ghisoni et al explored that NT measurement between ART...

High Genetic Diversity Revealed by RAPD Markers in the Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus, Galliformes) of Pakistan

In this study random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to infer the genetic profile of the black francolin (Francolinus francolinus, Galliformes) (N = 23) collected in five Pakistani areas (Alipur, Bait Suvai, Chakwal, Haroonabad and Rakni). A total of 269 different RAPD bands were obtained using fifteen primers. Estimates of the percentage of overall polymorphism (87.79%), Sha...
