The study was carried out from July to September 2015 and three groups of zooplankton taken into consideration that includes Rotifera, Cladocera and Copepoda. A total of 38 species of zooplanktons were observed from the study sites and dominated by Rotifera by 18 species (47.36%), followed by the species of Cladocera and Copepoda by 11 species (28.94%) and 9 species (23.68%), respectively. Out of the total of 38 species, about 8 species (21%) were common in both ponds. The diversity and richness of zooplankton are higher in unmanaged pond. However, both ponds are considered as polluted based on the physiochemical characteristics of water and presence of pollution indicating zooplankton species which exhibit eutrophication.","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"280 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76713995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nasal index is a vital measurement for classifying the ethnic groups and sex of an individual. The study aims at determine the nasal index of adult male and female Ikwerre natives in relation to age and to show its interest in forensic anthropology. \u0000Materials and methods: Three hundred and thirty subjects (160 males and 170 females) aged 20–59 years were recruited for this study. Nasal height and width were measured using a digital Vernier caliper. The nasal index was calculated as nasal width/nasal height ×100. \u0000Results: The mean nasal index of females aged 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50-59 years were 87.45±0.85, 94.69±1.30, 93.90±1.71, and 93.94±1.39 respectively. The mean nasal index of males aged 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50-59 years were 94.22±0.8, 90.46±1.45, 90.24±1.10, and 99.46±1.68 respectively. The nasal index of overall males and females was 77.22±2.11 and 94.23±0.90 respectively. The higher nasal index was observed in males within the age groups 20–29 and 50–59 years, as compared to the females, who had a higher nasal index within the age groups 30-39 and 40–49 years. The result revealed sexual dimorphism. \u0000Conclusion: This study showed that males in the Ikwerre ethnicity fall within the Mesorrhine nose type while females have the Platyrrhine nose type.

Research variables: Production performance and edible offals of landrace pigs. The outcomes: The production performance of landrace pigs was unaffected by replacing commercial concentrate with 50% WFBF from the control. The production performance had been severely lowered by switching to 100% WFBF. The weight of the edible offals was unaffected by replacing commercial concentrate with 50% to 100% WFBF.

Cnidoscolus aconitifolius has been reported to possess medicinal properties. This study is aimed at determining experimentally if the acclaimed benefits are true. \u0000Methodology: This study investigated the biochemical effect of Bonny light crude oil and Cnidoscolus aconitifolius leaf extract orally administered to albino rats at different concentrations. In this study, albino rats were orally exposed to different concentrations of Bonny light oil (BLCO) and Cnidoscolus aconitifolius leaf extract individually and in combination. \u0000Findings: The results after 21days of exposure revealed that BLCO and Cnidoscolus aconitifolius induction at concentrations of 250mg/kgb.wt and 500mg/kgb.wt could induce physiological damage within 21days. This is revealed by the results obtained from the histological analysis of the testes and the detectable heavy metal concentration in the blood samples. \u0000Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: As a result, the induction of this leaf extract and BLCO at concentrations of 250mgf/kgb.wt and 500mg/kgb.wt consecutively for 21days may be injurious to health as revealed by the results from the histological analysis. Therefore, it is recommended that the use of this plant leaf extract and BLCO in folkloric medicine at concentrations similar to the ones used in this research should be avoided.","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83104777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
