We have found that the generic name Paraseuratoides Moravec, Salgado-Maldonado et Aguilar-Aguilar, 2002 is a junior homonym to Paraseuratoides Wang, 1984. Therefore, a new name, Gibsonnema nom. n., is proposed to replace it (the new genus is named in honour of David I. Gibson, a wellknown English helminthologist). These two genera are monotypic, belonging to the seuratoid family Quimperiidae Ge...

This study quantified the seasonal pattern of reproduction in a swamp-dwelling population of the African cichlid Pseudocrenilabrus multicolor victoriae. In the hypoxic waters of the Lwamunda Swamp, Uganda, P. multicolor was reproductively active throughout the year, even during the peak of the dry seasons. However, the degree of activity was seasonal, with rainfall providing a predictor of the ...

Tree stumps of arborescent lycopods were discovered in situ at the contact of the Herrin (No. 6) Coal and the Energy Shale Members, near the Walshville paleochannel, the major river channel running through and draining the Herrin coal swamp. The stumps are associated with, and in one case attached to, fallen trunks identified as a Lepidodendron similar to L. aculeatum. The stumps and trunks occ...

The Asian buffalo or the Water buffalo is classified in the genus Bubalus, species bubalis. Taming occurred at recent times (5,000 years ago) compared to taming of Bos Taurus and Bos Indicus (10,000 years ago). Asian buffalo includes two subspecies named also types: the River and the Swamp, the morphology and the purposes of which are different as well as the genetics. The River buffalo has 50 ...

The present study was performed to determine the infection status of swamp eels with Gnathostoma sp. larvae in Myanmar. We purchased total 37 Asian swamp eels, Monopterus albus, from a local market in Yangon in June and December 2013 and 2014. All collected eels were transferred with ice to our laboratory and each of them was examined by the artificial digestion technique. A total of 401 larval...

Polymorphism within the promoter region of bovine thyroglobulin has been reported to be associated with milk and meat quality. In this study, we investigated the genetic variation within thyroglobulin promoter region of swamp and riverine buffaloes using PCR-SSCP technique and sequencing, and also analyzing association of polymorphism with the milk production traits. The study revealed four con...
