Aegyptianella-Like organisms and microfilariae in a severely diseased Bittern (Botaurus stellaris stellaris)
Blood parasites are often found in the blood smears of domestic and wild-caught birds [12,14]. Of these, a member of the family Anaplasmataceae, Aegyptianella (CARPANO, 1929) genus has been reported from domestic fowl, ducks, geese, turkeys, pigeons, quails, ostrichs and psittacine birds [9, 13,14]. The only named species is Aegyptianella pullorum, known in the past as Babesia pullorum or Balfo...
متن کاملModelling Coastal Vulnerability and Adaptation to Sea Level Rise
Coastal regions are highly vulnerable to sea-level rise (SLR) therefore developing and implementing effective adaptation alternatives is crucial for their future development. However, there is uncertainty in the timing, duration, spatial location and extent of SLR and storms. The complexity that arises from climate, coastal systems and their interactions in space and time can easily become over...
متن کاملVulnerability of the peatland carbon sink to sea-level rise
Freshwater peatlands are carbon accumulating ecosystems where primary production exceeds organic matter decomposition rates in the soil, and therefore perform an important sink function in global carbon cycling. Typical peatland plant and microbial communities are adapted to the waterlogged, often acidic and low nutrient conditions that characterise them. Peatlands in coastal locations receive ...
متن کاملFramework for Analysing Coastal Vulnerability Due to Sea Level Rise and Coastal Floods using R
Sea level rise is a natural global phenomenon which is aggravated by anthropological activities. Severity of the rise varying in different parts of the world but the stress in general is increasingly threatening human development. Sustenance of a few species and their ecosystem depends on the rate and extent of rise. Coastal floods are inundations in coastal areas due to rise in sea water level...
متن کاملU.S. Pacific coastal wetland resilience and vulnerability to sea-level rise
We used a first-of-its-kind comprehensive scenario approach to evaluate both the vertical and horizontal response of tidal wetlands to projected changes in the rate of sea-level rise (SLR) across 14 estuaries along the Pacific coast of the continental United States. Throughout the U.S. Pacific region, we found that tidal wetlands are highly vulnerable to end-of-century submergence, with resulti...
