BACKGROUND In this paper, paleoparasitological findings from rodent excrements obtained from Chehrabad Salt Mine archeological site located in northwest of Iran are demonstrated and discussed. METHODS Chehrabad Salt Mine archeological site located in northwest of Iran, dated to the Achaemenid (mid 1(st) mill. BCE) and to Sassanid (3(rd) cent. - 7(th) cent. CE) period, is a unique study area t...

The dinosaur is like the bald eagle, except it's an unofficial symbol instead of a sanctioned one.

Computed tomography studies and histological analyses were performed on the mummified remains found in Chehrābād salt mine northwestern Iran. The ancient mummies are dated to Achaemenid (550–330 BC) Sassanid (3rd–7th century AD) time period died mining incidents. aim of study was describe radiological findings several Iranian with special interest pathological postmortem changes. show multiple ...

The white-tailed sea eagle population on the Swedish coast of the Baltic Sea has been under strong influence of environmental pollution for decades. Consistent breeding failures over sever...

according to the forms of sassanian medallions designed on the textures sassanid, it’s very impressive in the distinctive features, the variety of design and style of drawing. sassanid era peak of excellence in the art of silk fabrics and textiles, especially the development of their industry. but it should also be stated, that one of the important reasons for the existence of exquisite designs...

A unique community of four syntopic eagle species exists in north-central Kazakhstan. Questions about behaviour and genetics in these four species would benefit from the development of microsatellite markers. We isolated eight polymorphic microsatellite repeats (AAAG) n from the eastern imperial eagle ( Aquila heliaca ) genome using a hybridization enrichment technique. These loci revealed mode...

Riboflavin binding protein was purified from the egg yolk of Aquila hastate (Eagle). The protein was purified using DEAE Sepharose ion exchange chromatography followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The purity of the protein was judged by cylindrical and slab SDSPAGE techniques. Comparison of the mobility of RfBP with that of the standard molecular weight marker protein revealed that the ...

-Cackling Geese (Brunta canadensis minima) were preyed on heavily in northeastern California by Golden Eagles (Aquila chysaetos) and less commonly by Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus Zeucocephalus) in 19851990. Eagle predation on Cackling Geese was minimal in other wintering locations in California. In the Klamath Basin, eagles killed Cackling Geese most frequently soon (<IO days) after the geese arrive...

Southwest Plains (JSDA Forest Service Research Note RM-RN-535 May 1995 Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station Constructing Bald Eagle Nests With Natural Materials Teryl G. Grubb1 A technique for using natural materials to build artificial nests for bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and other raptors is detailed. Properly constructed nests are as permanently secured to the nest ...

—Maternal defensive behavior against predators may appear risky but is common in many species. Herein we describe maternal defensive behavior of mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) against Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) predatory attempts. We found that Golden Eagles attacked goats in 1.9% of sightings (n = 311 sightings of active Golden Eagles over 12 years) but were never successful. Mothe...
