While supporting the expectation formulated by Jerison that larger bodies require larger brains to operate them, our findings show that: (1) the rate of increase in brain size is very small compared to body growth; and (2) different parts of the CNS grow at different rates accompanying ...
Even in this modern era of human dominance, the Nile crocodile attacks and kills approximately 150-200 people every year. Its survival techniques are so impeccable and effective that it hardly had to change since the Cretaceous period, where they once hunted the Dinosaurs. ...
Fig. 3.Various measures of risk of human exposure to mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus as a function of the species richness of songbirds (passerines) and nonpasserine birds. Both the infection prevalence of mosquitoes (maximum likelihood estimate (MLE)) and the density of infected mosquito...
HUMAN BRAINGROWTHEVOLUTIONPRIMATESIt is a central assumption that larger bodies require larger brains, across species but also possibly within species with continuous growth throughout the lifetime, such as the crocodile. The current study investigates the relationships between body growth (length and ...
"You want that ivory crocodile, sir?" "You not been in my shop yet, sir? I show you very beautiful things." They turned into the fifth shop and Rosalie handed over several rolls of films -the object of the walk. 第31页共 241页 Then they came out again and walked toward the river...
Continuing down the Nile, we arrive at the temple of Kom Ombo. This Ptolemaic temple was built to honor two gods, the crocodile god Sobek and Haroeris. It is unusual because it has double gates and rooms in order to honor both gods. The wall carvings show the traditions and daily life...
2) Crocodile population surveys to estimate the abundance and size structure. 3) Deterministic stage-based and integral projection models compare observed to predicted population structure and the influence of harvesting regimes. 4) A questionnaire survey to determine the scale of human crocodile ...
TheNile crocodile, found in most parts of theriver, has not yet penetrated the lakes of the upper Nile basin. Other reptiles found in the Nile basin include thesoft-shelled turtle, three species ofmonitorlizard, and some 30 species of snakes, of which more than half are venomous. Thehippo...
Crocodile behavior was then monitored for 226 h, evaluating both short- and long-term effects of the visual barriers. In both observation periods, intraspecific agonism was unaffected by visual barriers. However, crocodiles were more likely to be on land and closer together, after the barriers ...
