—Body size is often an important factor in understanding an animal’s ecology. In squamates, snout-to-vent length (SVL) is a primary metric for quantifying body size. Measuring SVL typically requires capture and handling of animals, which may be difficult due to a species’ behavior or its presence in complex habitat. Here, we evaluated an alternative to the capture, handling, and direct measurem...

background : toxoplasmosis is a worldwide endemic disease. in congenitally infected infants and aids patients, toxoplasmosis causes high rates of morbidity and mortality. in these cases antibody detection is difficult; so detection of parasite or its components could be useful tool for early detection and following treatment of the infection. methods : sixty-three balb/c mice were injected intr...

This study carried out on the provided textures at laboratory. The provided textures were infusedinside the PVC cylinder with 30cm height and 25cm diameter. The studied textures were loamysand, sandy loam, sandy clay-loam, clay loam and clay. After 24 hours of saturation, the soil watercontent of the samples was measured by oven-dry gravimetric and TDR methods. For each texturesat any stage of ...

HUMAN NAVIGATION IS SPECIAL: we use geographic maps to capture a world far beyond our unaided locomotion. In consequence, human navigation is widely thought to depend on internalized versions of these maps - enduring, geocentric 'cognitive maps' capturing diverse information about the environment. Contrary to this view, we argue that human navigation is best studied in relation to research on n...

Hyperthermia is described as the major cause of morbidity and mortality associated with capture, immobilization and restraint of wild animals. Therefore, accurately determining the core body temperature of wild animals during capture is crucial for monitoring hyperthermia and the efficacy of cooling procedures. We investigated if microchip thermometry can accurately reflect core body temperatur...
