Benthic foraminifera assemblages from two fjords of Svalbard—Kongsfjorden and Krossfjorden in the High Arctic—have been studied. The show three characteristic fjords’ glacial proximal, middle distal parts. Cassidulina reniforme– Elphidium clavatum, Textularia spp. assemblage dominates fauna near glacier proximal that indicates increased sedimentation meltwater runoff; a Nonionellina labradorica...

Objective- To measure statistically bone cortex to diameter  (C/D) ratio in metocarpo/metatarsal and proximal phalanges in camel. This ratio may be used in diagnosing possible metabolic and nutritional diseases in camel. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Twelve camel limbs (6 fore limbs & 6 hind limbs)      Procedures- This study was conducted on dorsopalmar/dorsoplantar radiographs of t...

The distal accessory flexor muscle (DAFM) in the lobster (Homarus americanus) walking leg consists of 5 muscle fiber bundles. All five bundles, one proximal, one distal, and 3 medial, are innervated by one excitatory and one inhibitory motor neuron. Both neurons release more transmitter on the distal bundle than on the proximal bundle. The aim of our studies was to investigate the structural ba...
