Cathelicidins, a family of host-defence peptides, are present in a diverse range of species, including fish, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals. The evidence for the role of these cationic antimicrobial peptides in innate host defenses is convincing from the data of animal model and transgenic animal experiments as well as wildlife or domestic animals, indicating that the peptides protect against inflammatory and immune system after induction by bacterial infection.

Overexploitation of wildlife populations results in direct consequences, such as extinction and local extirpation, as well as indirect effects including genetic diversity loss and changes in genetic structure. A clear understanding of the underlying genetic patterns of harvested species is necessary for sustainable management.

Although astroviruses (AstV) have been detected in a variety of host species, there are only limited records of their occurrence in deer. One of the most important game species in Europe, due to its meat and antlers, is roe deer. Infected game animals can pose a threat to the health of other animals and of humans, so more attention needs to be focused on understanding the diversity of viruses in wildlife.

Presently conservation of biodiversity is of utmost challenge. It requires collaborative efforts for success in modern changing world. Thus, a great challenge has emerged to conserve and minimise the losses of the wildlife in the changing environment. Efforts of conservation with respect to wild life require a great deal of plan. This review highlights the major issues about wildlife life extinction, endangerment and conservation. Habitat conservation is the key solution to conserve biodiversity.

Karnali watershed area is very sensitive and need of scientific management of highland grasslands which are rich in number of plants and animal species that have significant role and contribution in national economy and ecology. However, these grass lands are in threat and exist in their natural state within protected areas as neighboring grasslands and forest habitats have been rapidly degraded.

Numerical simulation of morphology in the tidal environments. It is very important to understand the geomorphic changes in the lagoon to preserve the environment. Dynamic landscapes shaping riparian and aquatic habitats are made up in the complex channel network of the lagoon. And there are a lot of riparian wildlife such a fish and birds in the diverse habitats of it.

The unplanned crossbreeding had also threatened the genetic resources base of the country. Although efforts were made at developing breeding program for various livestock species in the country, all did not materialize due to lack of commitment of and consultation with various stakeholders. There is, therefore, a pressing need to develop a breeding strategy that addresses various livestock species and the diverse agro-ecologies that exist in the country.

A challenging issue for boards can be finding directors who reflect the diversity of the community in which the organization operates. Boards benefit from having members with a variety of experiences and outlooks. They may encounter problems, however, if individual directors see themselves only as representatives of specific communities or interest groups. Representation that gives rise to the formation of camps or factions on the board can be a barrier to effective goal-setting and decision-making.

When FAO raised the idea of preparing a resource book in collaboration with The Communication Initiative for people involved in communication and natural resource management, it was clear that finding an approach that reflected the diversity of thought, practice and local context would be a challenge.We hope that this document meets that challenge by presenting experiences across cultural and theoretical perspectives in such a way as to enable the reader to reflect on some of the shared principles and lessons learned in this field....

To increase school diversity, geographic boundaries for St. Paul's neighborhood schools are not always contiguous; magnet schools include socioeconomic status (specifically, whether a student qualifies for reduced-cost or free lunch programs) among their selection criteria (Schellenberg and Porter, 2003). In 1974 almost all students in the St. Paul school district attended a school located in or near their neighborhood. Today, any public school student [in the US, `public schools' refers to schools receiving most of their funding from public government (tax-based) monies] in St.

At the end of Q3 2010, the global ETF industry had $1.2 trillion in assets under management, 85% in plain-vanilla ETFs referenced to equity indices (Graph 1), which is equivalent to 5% of global mutual fund assets and 2% of global equity market capitalisation. The industry has grown at an average of 40% a year over the past 10 years, which dwarfs the growth rate of both global mutual funds and equity markets (around 5% a year). Most ETFs are listed on US and European exchanges, but they provide exposure to a much more diverse range of markets (e.g., two...

We have endeavoured to make A Primer of Conservation Genetics as com- This book is intended to provide a brief accessible introduction to the general principles of conservation genetics prehensible as possible to a broad range of readers. It is suitable for those undertaking introductory genetics courses at university, for students undertaking conservation biology courses and even for motivated first-year biology students who have completed lectures on basic Mendelian genetics and introductory population genetics (allele frequencies and Hardy--Weinberg equilibrium).

The importance of rigorous training of clients to the success of microfinance cannot be overemphasized. The most successful programs and institutions train their staff and train their clients, both initially and in stages, over time. Training includes diverse topics such as customer service, purchasing stock, marketing, time management, bookkeeping and planning for the future. In the end, a successful microfinance institution must achieve the “double bottom-line” – economic growth without compromising their core mission of serving poor clients.

This book explores a relatively small, but interesting and anomalous, region of Alberta between the North Saskatchewan and the Battle Rivers. The Beaver Hills arose where mountain glaciers from the west met continental ice-sheets from the east. An overview of the hills’ physiography helps us to grasp the complexity and diversity of landscapes, soil types, and vegetation communities. Ecological themes, such as climatic cycles, ground water availability, vegetation succession and the response of wildlife, and the impact of fires, shape the possibilities and provide challenges to those who...
