Regional brain morphometry and lissencephaly in the Sirenia Regional brain morphometry and lissencephaly in the Sirenia
Neuroanatomical structure was examined in the brains of West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) using computer-based morphometric methods. Although manatees have a small relative brain size, volume estimates of the major brain regions indicate that the telencephalon comprises 71% of totalbrain volume and is 90% cerebral cortex. These values are comparable to those seen among a...

Feeding chronology of juvenile piranhas, Pygocentrus notatus, in the Venezuelan llanos Feeding chronology of juvenile piranhas, Pygocentrus notatus, in the Venezuelan llanos
During the 1988 rainy season, I studied the 24 h feeding chronology of juvenile (40–68 mm standard length) piranhas, Pygocentrus notatus (Characidae: Serrasalminae) from a natural population inhabiting a small savanna stream in Apure State, Venezuela. Stomach contents analyses, supported by laboratory determinations of digestion rate, showed that these fish are primarily diurnal...

Plant community structure in an oligohaline tidal marsh Plant community structure in an oligohaline tidal marsh
An oligohaline tidal marsh on the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain, LA was characterized with respect to the distributions and abundances of plant species over spatial and temporal gradients using Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA). In addition, the species distributions were correlated to several physical environmental factors using Detrended Canonical Correspondence Analysis...

Homestead tree planting in two rural Swazi communities Homestead tree planting in two rural Swazi communities
Tree planting practices were investigated on a total of 95 homesteads in two communities in rural Swaziland. Information was also collected on socioeconomic characteristics of the homesteads. In both the study areas, Sigombeni and Bhekinkosi, there was considerable variation amongst individual homesteads in size, relative wealth (as indicated by cattle and motor vehicle ownership), and...
