This research has been conducted in order to describe the normal anatomical structures of the stifle joint in buffaloes (Bos bubalis) by using the magnetic resonance imaging and the corresponding anatomical sections. The anatomical slices were used to facilitate the interpretation of the MRI images, and therefore the diagnosis for stifle related diseases would be much easier. The hind limbs of ...

The human sense of smell is made possible through the use of the so-called olfactory receptors. These receptors are proteins which are embedded into the cellular membranes located in the nose. The olfactory receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) class. The function of a GPCR is to transmit a signal into the cell structure when a molecule binds to the GPCR on the outsid...

We analyzed temporal trends in mist-net capture rates of resident (n = 8) and overwintering Nearctic-Neotropical migrant (n = 3) bird species at two sites in montane broadleaf forest of the Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican Republic, with the goal of providing quantitative information on population trends that could inform conservation assessments. We conducted sampling at least once annually durin...
