INTRODUCTION Nicotiana glauca (wild tobacco, tree tobacco), a member of the Solanaceae family, is a slender shrub or a small erect tree growing up to 5 m high with long, lax branches (Fig. 1). This plant is a native of Argentina that has become widespread in South Africa, occurring mostly on disturbed soil such as old lands, trampled areas and road verges. It is also a common weed along inland ...
متن کاملGrowth curves for ostriches (Struthio camelus) in a Brazilian population.
The objective of this study was to fit growth curves using nonlinear and linear functions to describe the growth of ostriches in a Brazilian population. The data set consisted of 112 animals with BW measurements from hatching to 383 d of age. Two nonlinear growth functions (Gompertz and logistic) and a third-order polynomial function were applied. The parameters for the models were estimated us...
متن کاملPrevalence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in ostriches (Struthio camelus).
Serum samples from 973 ostriches (Struthio camelus) in Canada were examined for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by the modified agglutination test incorporating mercaptoethanol and formalin-fixed whole tachyzoites. Twenty-eight (2.9%) of the 973 birds were found to be seropositive for antibodies to T. gondii at titers of 1:25 in 15 birds, 1:50 in 12 birds, and 1:500 in 1 bird. This is the first...
متن کاملMechanics of cutting maneuvers by ostriches (Struthio camelus).
We studied the strategies used by cursorial bipeds (ostriches) to maneuver during running. Eight ostriches were induced to run along a trackway and execute turns. Ground reaction forces and three-dimensional kinematics of the body and leg joints were simultaneously recorded, allowing calculation of joint angles and quasi-static net joint torques. Sidesteps, where the leg on the outside of the t...
متن کاملBiochemical composition of urine from farmed ostriches (Struthio camelus) in Botswana.
Biochemical and qualitative evaluation of the supernatant of urine from hydrated farmed ostriches (Struthio camelus) indicated that the urine was comparable to that described by other workers. The disparities obtained between the biochemical constituents in the present and previous studies were partly attributed to the state of hydration influenced by climatic factors. Results of the cytologica...
