The Indiana myotis has a similar appearance to others of its genus. Body size is generally small, and measures no more than 49.0mm, with weight ranging from 6-8 g. Weight measurements fluxuate in winter due to hibernation preparation and are responsible for slight sexual dimorphism with males averaging 7.1 g and females averaging 7.45 g (Thomson, 1982). Tail length is generally 80% of the head and body length with terminal vertebra and half of the penultimate vertebra projecting free of the interfemoral

Cryptosporidium species are intestinal protozoan parasites with a worldwide distribution, responsible for diarrheal disease in a large number of vertebrate hosts including humans, and zoonotic infection has long been acknowledged, as it is life-threatening in immunocompromised patients (Current et al., 1983). The disease has a faecal-oral cycle, occurring with the ingestion of infecting oocystes, which have environmental resistance. Separate anthroponotic and zoonotic transmission cycles have been

including livestock and wildlife, that serve as reservoirs for zoonotic infection especially in developed countries (Peng et al., 1997; Xiao, 2010). Other species detected in humans are C. meleagradis (McLauchlin et al., 2000; Morgan et al., 2000), C. felis (Raccurt, 2007), C. canis (Santin and Trout, 2008; Gatei et al., 2008) and C. ubiquitum (ex cervine genotype) (Leoni et al., 2006). In the UK it is reported that C. parvum is

Top 100 Cute Cat Names Cats are the most popular pet which can be found in almost every household. This animal is not just only made as pet in one country but it is almost in all countries all over the world. The pet cat is an excellent pet animal since they are very domesticated and tamed. These cats come in different shapes. There breeds of cat which are fat and big, there are also small but cute and there are cats which are tall and skinny. So even though they have different appearance, still

that fact, it is not possible to understand the reasons why it happens or to mitigate the problem. The second inescapable and unpleasant fact is that humans created this problem and are responsible for perpetuating it. The contemporary domestic cat (Felis catus), is not by any reasonable definition a natural component of the environment, but must be regarded as an exotic, introduced species in every natural system where it is permitted to freely roam. Domestic cats can be classified into four categories

The species in the Pliocene had lynx like dental features and was called issiodorensis, but the skeleton looked more of the genus felis. (Werdelin,1981) The species then would have moved to the northern hemisphere and given offspring to many species. The species included the lynx that was risen from the issiodorensis and resided in Asia which then migrated to Europe and North America

As the deer fed at the marsh's edge, it's tail flickering as it nibbled tender and ripe green growth. Then the nervous animal pauses in it's feeding and lifted its head to listen. Whatever hint of danger the deer had sensed was ignored once the threat could not be located. It stamped a forefoot, lowered its head and began to eat once more, this deer had failed to detect a Florida panther that was downwind (going into the wind) crouched low in the underbrush. Amber eyes however, estimated the distance

Fig.2: Change in distribution of the Kōkako (Moore and Innes, 1996) Benefits of Kōkako to New Zealand 80 million years of evolution in isolation from other land masses, has made New Zealand home to unique native plants and animals that contribute to a sense of belonging and national identity. Kōkako are one species of the 25% of all bird species that are found only in New Zealand (MfE, 2007). The country has recogised this value by featuring the Kōkako on the NZ$50 bill. New Zealand’s unique and

While many may doubt the power of a group of images possess to engender social change, thousands of social movements, federal policies, and personal revolutions have begun with and been supported by the click of a shutter. From the Great Depression-era of the 1920s to the modern day Black Lives Matter

Introduction The Allegheny woodrat (Neotoma magister) is a small mammal that is endemic to the United States. They live in the eastern part of the United States in deciduous forests. Their species can be found from the Appalachian Mountains through the interior Highland regions, including western Connecticut to northern Alabama (Castleberry et al 2006). Woodrats are restricted to areas that have rocky structures such as caves, fissures, and boulder piles and live within the spaces between rocks
