four tylenchid species, namely, aglenchus agricola, malenchus exiguus, psilenchus curcumerus, and p. terextremus are reported from iran. the iranian population of a. agricola is characterized by 542-659 µm long body, 10-12 µm long stylet, excretory pore at 70-87 µm distance from anterior end, prominent lateral fields, with four lines, tail of 170-198 long, and rare males with 15-20 µm long spic...

We present an analytic model of a collimated ejection with “single pulse” Gaussian velocity. This flow produces dense “head” (the leading working surface) joined to the outflow source by “tail” lower velocity material. For times greater than duration pulse, this tail develops linear radial vs. position structure. “head/tail plasmon” structure is interesting for modelling astrophysical “bullets”...

Normal pig behaviour does not include tail biting. The occurrence of tail biting is a complex and multi-factorial problem and many risk factors are known to increase the chance of tail biting.
