This study was conducted to investigate the farmers’ tree growing practices and diversity of species in home garden,farmlands, nearby forest areas Abaychomen District, Eastern Wollega, Oromia region, Ethiopia. Data were collected fromsampled Households (HHs) using purposive random sampling methods for socio-economic survey a systematic technique vegetation assessment.For interview, 152 HHs sele...

Lines of fish, Girardinus falcatus preferentially turning rightward (RD) or leftward (LD) when facing a dummy predator visible behind a barrier have been obtained through selective breeding. To check whether lateralization was maintained in other behavioral responses, five different tests were carried out. They comprised measures of (1) turning direction in a T-maze; (2) proportion of clockwise...

The present study was performed to survey the infection status of zoonotic intestinal trematode (ZIT) in stray cats from 5 major riverside areas in the Republic of Korea. Total 400 stray cats were captured with live-traps in riverside areas of Seomjingang ('gang' means river) (203 cats) from June to October 2010, and of Yeongsangang (41), Nakdonggang (57), Geumgang (38), and Hangang (61 cats) f...

Understanding the structural pattern and regeneration status of tree species is an important measure taken to assess vegetation dynamics their destruction factors as well management history ecology forest. This study was conducted with objective diversity, structure, woody in Kenech natural forest, Ethiopia. Systematic random sampling method employed a design for collection data. Accordingly, 4...

Microalgae biomass can produce high quantities of biochemicals that be used in various applications such as biodiesel, biogas, and aquaculture feed. The potential sterilizing wastewater for microalgae-based treatment on a lab scale is well introduced. However, the operation cost large-scale microalgae cultivation plants if using sterilising growth medium. present study aimed to evaluate Scenede...

Sexual harassment is common among poeciliid fish. In some fishes, males show a high frequency of sneak copulation; such sexual activity is costly to the females in terms of foraging efficiency. In mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki), when males are present, the distance between females tends to decrease, and this behavior has been interpreted as an adaptive strategy to dilute the costs of male se...
