A survey of coccidia in the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis. c. canademis) in Alberta and Kootenay NationaI Park, British Columbia, was conducted from the winter of 1967 to the spring of 1969. Ninety percent of 530 fecal samples cxaniined were positive for coccidia. The species recovered, in order of prevalence, were Eimeria ovina ( syn., E. arloingi) (S6%), E. parva (3579, E. crandallis (34...

coronary artery and/or left anterior descending coronary artery. Collateral vessels were identified in 69% of the patients with coronary artery disease (82/119). The cases with collaterals were graded poor, fair, or good according to the number of vessels and the quality of opacification. Segmental contractile motion was determined angiographically by the percent shortening of each of the six c...

Ninety one samples of traditional fermented foods were collected from 20 Ecuadorian provinces. In order to identify strains with potential use as starter cultures in fermented foods, 119 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were isolated and characterized by phenotypic tests and 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequencing. Forty seven percent of isolates were identified as facultative heterofermentative ...

In a recent As I See It, Yoshioka (2008, Mar Ecol Prog Ser 368:309–310) stated that the term Bray-Curtis should only be used for doubly-standardised data, and when data counts are used to calculate similarity, the term Czekanowski is correct; by using the wrong name, it is claimed, marine ecologists demonstrate a lack of knowledge and introduce confusion. This needs to be rectified. It is incor...

Ecologists predict that invasive species and global climate change will be two of the leading drivers of global biodiversity loss over the next century (Sala et al., 2000). Society, however, has responded to these two threats in a very uneven way; global climate change has become a major focus of public policy, while problems from invasive species remain poorly addressed. This discrepancy is em...
