The Yellow-shouldered Amazon (Amazona barbadensis) is the sole parrot of the genus Amazona that inhabits only dry forests.Its population has been dropping; therefore it has been the topic of many studies and conservation efforts.However, the phylogenetic relationship of this species to potential relatives classified within the Yellow-Headed Amazon

Wildland fires produce smoke plumes that impact air quality and human health.To understand the effects of wildland fire smoke on humans, the amount and composition of the smoke plume must be quantified.Using a fire emissions inventory is one way to determine the emissions rate and composition of smoke plumes from individual fires.There are multiple

Sperm cells have undergone an extraordinarily divergent evolution among metazoan animals.Parker recognized that because female animals frequently mate with more than one male, sexual selection would continue after mating and impose strong selection on sperm cells to maximize fertilization success.Comparative analyses among species have Parts reveal

This study investigates Conditioner the influence of timing and duration of low-voltage electrical stimulation (ES) as well as carcass weight, which are important factors affecting muscle glycolysis and meat color attributes.Longissimus samples from 147 cattle, representative of typical South African feedlot cattle, were assigned to 10 treatment gr
