ABSTRACT Background and Aims Human schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease causing organ damage and developmental delays in children. Updated data on its distribution is vital for targeted interventions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of Schistosoma haematobium infection among school‐age children in Dubti city ...

Abstract Mutvei's solution is a widely utilized standard staining method for revealing growth increments in biogenic carbonates; however, it is a slightly toxic, destructive approach with varying success across species groups. Therefore, there has been growing interest in finding non‐toxic, less destructive, and straightforward alternative techniques ...

Transition pathways from vulnerability to viability of small‐scale fisheries in Africa and Asia
Abstract This perspective paper examines transition pathways that move small‐scale fisheries from vulnerability towards viability. We understand ‘vulnerability to viability transition pathways’ as integrative and one that extends beyond economic concerns to include social, political, cultural and ecological aspects of small‐scale fisheries.

A marked effect of water snails on small crustaceans. [Translation from: Anz.Ost.Akad.Wiss 10, 95-99, 1952. ] [PDF]
Cases of mutual exclusion of two species of organisms in nature are known in large numbers. In the majority, they make different demands on the environ- ment which makes co-occurrence impossible. Less frequent are those cases in which a definite activity

Abstract Introduction Addition of silicate rock powder (SRP) is an increasingly used measure to restore vegetation and fauna on acidified mineral‐poor soils in protected areas. In theory, however, the positive effects of SRP addition on vegetation may be offset by grazing and browsing ungulates attracted to higher‐quality forage.
