A Cassowary Casuarius casuarius (Linnaeus, 1758) Record from Alexandria, Egypt, in 20 B

The reverse side of the Artemidorus Papyrus, which was latest created early in the first century A.D. in Alexandria, features 47 drawings of animals by the same illustrator. In most cases, the Greek name of the animal is given. According to an Aristotelian “heading”, the papyrus shows “terrestrial quadrupeds, birds, fish and whales”.

The primary structure of cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) goose type lysozyme.

The complete amino acid sequence of cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) goose type lysozyme was analyzed by direct protein sequencing of peptides obtained by cleavage with trypsin, V8 protease, chymotrypsin, lysyl endopeptidase, and cyanogen bromide. The N-terminal residue of the enzyme was deduced to be a pyroglutamate group by analysis with a LC/MS/MS system equipped with the oMALDI ionization so...

Consistency of individual differences in behaviour of the lion-headed cichlid, Steatocranus casuarius.

The development of individual differences in behaviour in a novel environment, in the presence of a strange fish and during aggressive interactions with a mirror-image was studied in the lion-headed cichlid (Steatocranus casuarius, Teleostei, Cichlidae). No consistency in behaviour was found at 4-5.5 months of age. However, behaviours scored in situations involving a discrete source of stress (...

Chemical immobilisation and satellite tagging of free-living southern cassowaries.

BACKGROUND The southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) attains 1.8 m in height and over 80 kg in weight. These large birds are equipped with large claws and, although not a direct threat to humans, they have caused serious injury to handlers and members of the public. METHODS AND RESULTS This study describes chemical immobilisation, restraint, transport and post-monitoring (satelli...
