Rickettsia Detected in the Reptile Tick Bothriocroton hydrosauri from the Lizard Tiliqua rugosa in South Australia
Rickettsiosis is a potentially fatal tick borne disease. It is caused by the obligate intracellular bacteria Rickettsia, which is transferred to humans through salivary excretions of ticks during the biting process. Globally, the incidence of tick-borne diseases is increasing; as such, there is a need for a greater understanding of tick-host interactions to create more informed risk management ...
متن کاملMoa Tracks: an Unrecognised Legacy from an Extinct Bird?

متن کاملChelonian Antipredator Strategies: Preliminary and Comparative Data from Tanzanian Pelusios
– Turtle carapaces clearly function as antipredator adaptations, but their varied structure has rarely been matched to differential predation pressure in nature. In addition, the role of antipredator behaviors, and how they interact with morphological defenses in turtles, is poorly understood. Here we show that a small turtle, Pelusios subniger, is found predominately in pools and watercourses ...
متن کاملAn implementation of the Owen value
We present an implementation of the Owen value (Owen, 1977), inspired by the bidding mechanism introduced by Pérez-Castrillo and Wettstein (2001). The idea is the following: first players of each coalition play the bidding mechanism trying to obtain the resources of the coalition. Later, players who obtained the resources play the bidding mechanism in order to share the surplus.
