The stress configuration and tectonic analysis of the Pan – African orogeny is drawn from the Igarra schist belt, southwestern Nigeria. The analysis of conjugate shear fractures of the schist belt indicates that two distinct compressive events (NE – SW and E – W) occurred in this Pan – African mobile zone. The palaeostress systems reveal a clockwise rotation of compressional axis from D1 (NE – ...

in order to study the signs of œstrus in the west african dwarf goat, 28 non pregnant females younger than 24 months of age were used. most of them (94.7%) had waggled the tail during heat. the frequency of micturition was higher in the presence of the male. the swelling of the vulva was observed in 68.4% of goats in heat. the cervico-vaginal mucus was significantly (p≤0.05) abundant and elasti...

After the discovery of eusociality in the naked mole-rat, it was proposed that inbreeding and high colony relatedness in this species were the major underlying factors driving cooperative breeding in African molerats. By contrast, field and laboratory studies of the eusocial Damaraland mole-rat (Cryptomys damarensis) have raised the possibility that this species is an obligate outbreeder, altho...

Daily life of wild mammals is characterized by a multitude of attractive and aversive stimuli. The hippocampus processes complex polymodal information associated with such stimuli and mediates adequate behavioral responses. How newly generated hippocampal neurons in wild animals contribute to hippocampal function is still a subject of debate. Here, we test the relationship between adult hippoca...

Vlei rats (Family: Muridae; Subfamily: Otomyinae) have a widespread distribution in southern Africa. They are favoured prey of barn and spotted eagle owls, frequently become associated with archaeological deposits when the owls roost cave sites. The phylogeny several Otomyinae species is enigmatic, Otomys sloggetti (Sloggett’s vlei rat) no exception. This has been referred to as ‘ice rat’ prese...
