2.8 Protected Areas and Wildlife Management Wildlife management has been defined as the attempt to create a balance between the needs of wildlife and that of humans (people) by adopting and using the best strategies proven by science (Fred, 2008). Wildlife management according to Potter (1973) is a unified discipline with an attempt to achieve best results. Wildlife management includes practices such as game keeping, pest control and wildlife conservation. Soule (1986) argued that wildlife…

Kwon-Chung in 1976 has mentioned that C. neoformans exists as two mating types, MATa and MATα which is determined by single locus with diomorphic alleles.(Halliday CL et al, 1999). The MAT locus of C. neoformans is larger and consists of 100 kb having more than 20 conserved genes. These mating types play an important role in sexual development changes. These also play a vital role in epidemiology by knowing the prevalence and virulence of the isolate (Lengeler KB et al, 2000). Based on the…

Thought you knew all there was about rabbits? Think again. In this overview we're going to take a look at 15 facts about rabbits that'll surely tantaliize your mind. 1) Rabbit Symobolism Due to the fact that rabbiits are well known for their prolific reporductive nature, it comes as no surprsie that the rabbit is a symbol of fertiflity in many relgions and cultures. For example, in china, the rabbits are viewed as a symbolism of lechery and fertiflity. Addionally, as the influnce of…

Importance of Microbes Introduction It was long ago when Man realized that, along with animals and plants, he was also accompanied by some other organisms as well, and though which remained hidden from his eyes. Those organisms were unveiled by Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, who first saw the tiny organisms which accompanied Man through the lenses of microscope. Later it was found out that microorganisms inhabited each and every surface of earth, on man himself, or even inside him, resided under the…

Nature vs. Nurture Donald Hebb once asked "Which contributes more to the area of a rectangle, its length or its width?” (Jasuja, S., Sehgal, thefoxmancometh@ymail.com, 2015, Para. 2). Scientists have been debating for decades on whether nature or nurture has the biggest impact on human development, and until this day there is no definite answer. Is it biology that determines how we turn out to be as individuals, our genes, DNA and family line? If you agree, then you are on the nature side of…

All of whom saw the variation caused by breeding or artificial selection to acquire a desired trait. Darwin just had to puzzle together the missing pieces and voila. He proves evolution. Sounds simple in theory, but the amount of investigation Darwin put forth is astonishing. If you read On the Origin of Species, it feels like a journey as Darwin starts with the simple foundation of his ideas and expands into a masterpiece of scientific…

Alan Weisman attempts to answer the question of what would happen to Earth if humans were to completely disappear. To answer this question, he has created an image of what the world was like without human dominance and what has happened since human evolution and spread, and now what would happen to earth without us because of our impact on it. He interviews a lot of people with different profession. The book is also broken down into four parts, discussing what would happen to what man has…

For decades even hundreds years since human society and different ideologies have been formed, there are two invisible walls separating people from each other, one in philosophy between materialism and mentalism, who have differences in substance of matter and consciousness; the other one between natural science and religion, who disagree with each other on the genesis of the world; the latter is more serious and obvious to be discussed among the history. In the centuries of despotism by…

SPECIATION AND ADAPTATION Speciation is the evolution of biological species this is according to the Sage’s English dictionary and thesaurus. It is the continuous change in the genes of an existing specie until a formation of the new specie arise altogether. It is a result of two specie groups ceasing to share allele such that the genetic differences grow to the point of speciation. Many scientists have come up with different theories in an attempt to define and explain speciation, though…

Niels Henrick David Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on 1885. In 1911 he received his Ph.D. from Copenhagen University. Later on he moved to England to study under J.J. Thomson in Cambridge and under Ernest Rutherford in Manchester. In 1913 he published his model of the atom, which was based on Rutherford’s planetary model. After his publication of his model he received worldwide fame. Unfortunately, Bohr’s model worked only for hydrogen atoms. Which made the final atomic model yet to be…
