The family Coronaviridae comprises a monogeneric group of 11 viruses which infect vertebrates. The main characteristics of the member viruses are: (i) Morphological: Enveloped pleomorphic particles typically 100 nm in diameter (range 60-220 nm), bearing about 20 nm long club-shaped surface ...
The lower jawbone of mammals is composed of a single piece that attaches directly to the skull. This bone is called the dentary because it holds the teeth of the lower jaw. In other vertebrates, the dentary is only one of several bones in the lower jaw and does not attach directly to ...

Besides the presence of charismatic megafauna, a wide range of other characteristics underpin nature-based tourism in protected areas15, 16. These include factors such as broader biodiversity (e.g. species richness17; threatened species and habitat types18; less charismatic biodiversity11, 19) and ...
