The Chatham petrel (Pterodroma axillaris) is an endangered species restricted to a single population on South East Island, Chatham Islands, New Zealand. The key threat to Chatham petrel breeding success is interference with chicks by broad-billed prions (Pachyptila vittata) prospecting for burrows for their oncoming breeding season. This burrow competition has resulted from alteration to breedi...

Feather lice (Phthiraptera) were collected from 14 Chatham Island taiko (Pterodroma magentae). These included two species of Halipeurus (Philopteridae) in the ratio of two H. procellariae to one H. theresae. So far as we know, the regular occurrence of two Halipeurus species on a host is unique. H. procellariae is likely to have been acquired from the taiko's ancestors, but H. theresae probably...

background and aim: jaundice is a common disorder in neonates and one of the provable causes of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency, some mutation types of which may be associated with severe neonatal icter. in this line, the present study has been conducted to compare g6pd mutations in incteric and non icteric neonates. materials and methods: this case-control study was impleme...

The Chatham petrel (Pterodroma axillaris) is an endangered species, restricted to. a single population on South East Island, Chatham Islands. The key threat to breeding success is loss of chicks as a result of interference by broad-billed prions (Pachyptila vittata) prospecting for burrows for their oncoming breeding season. The effectiveness in decreasing interference using an artificial burro...

Jaundice is a common disorder in neonates and one of the provable causes of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, some mutation types of which may be associated with severe neonatal icter. The present study has been conducted to compare G6PD mutations in incteric and non icteric neonates. This case-control study was implemented in the NICU and Newborn Ward of Amirkola Children Ho...
