Several hundred species are hunted for wild meat in the tropics, supporting diets, customs, and livelihoods of millions people. However, unsustainable hunting is one most urgent threats to wildlife ecosystems worldwide has serious ramifications people whose subsistence income tied meat. Over past 18 years, although research efforts have increased, scientific knowledge largely not translated into action. One major barrier progress been insufficient monitoring evaluation, meaning that...
Abstract An intermediate filament fraction, isolated from goldfish brain, contains a prominent protein having molecular weight of 51 kDa. In normal visual pathway, this is present in tectum and tract, but not optic nerve. A polyclonal antibody raised to clearly labels ependymal glial profiles parallel processes the whereas nerve unlabelled; Müller fibres retina are also labelled. similar, less prominent, pattern staining observed with antibodies, elsewhere, against fibrillary acidic human...
Hunting in the neotropics is a widespread form of resource extraction. However, there increasing concern that current activities are leading to decline and extirpation vulnerable species; particulary ateline primates, large ungulates (such as tapirs white-lipped peccaries) birds such curassows. patterns expected be product two principal influences: value return for given amount effort invested into hunting, cultural factors determine prestige usefulness prey. Previous work has suggested...
Abstract Trade represents a significant threat to many wild species and is often clandestine poorly monitored. Information on which are most prevalent in trade potentially threatened by it therefore remains fragmentary. We used 7 global data sets birds identify or groups of at particular risk assessed the extent they were congruent terms recorded trade. frequency with as basis for prevalence score that was applied all bird globally. Literature searches questionnaire surveys develop list...
Abstract By using an antibody to goldfish glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), the reaction of optic nerve injury has been studied by immunoblotting and immunohistochemical methods. Goldfish nerve, which normally lacks GFAP immunoreactivity (Nona et al.: Glia , 2:189–200, 1989), expresses following injury. This immunoreactivity, is observed as early 10 days after crush still evident at 30 crush, all but disappears 150 crush. Since it well established that functional restoration synaptic...
Increasing pressure on tropical forests is continually highlighting the need to find new solutions that mitigate impact of human populations biodiversity. However, developing can tackle drivers anthropogenic pressure, or at least take them into account, hinges upon building a good understanding culture and perceptions local people. This study aims provide an overview ethnoprimatology indigenous Kichwa community in Ecuadorian Amazon maintains traditional lifestyle but also has access markets....
Abstract We have used fish‐specific antibodies to show that repair in regenerating goldfish spinal cord is accompanied by the recovery of astrocytic environment and restoration central canal. Astrocyte processes trailed regenerated axons bridging new cord, suggesting they are not needed for axonal regrowth. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Abstract Trade represents a significant threat to many wild species and is often clandestine poorly monitored. Information on which are most prevalent in trade, potentially threatened by it, therefore remains fragmentary. We mobilised seven global datasets birds trade identify the or groups of that might be at particular risk. These sample different parts broad spectrum but we nevertheless find statistically strong congruence between them recorded trade. Furthermore, frequency with within...

Abstract VEPs were used to study the effects of visual deprivation and define critical period in hooded rat. it is shown that monocular young animals reduces both acuity contrast sensitivity deprived eye depth attenuation depends upon age at onset deprivation. This suggests almost over by 6 weeks postnatally. simple recording technique might be useful studying amblyopic children defining more clearly for human vision.
