The Great Galliwasps Handicap

Let this journey be the light in our darkness. Will none of you ever feel hunger again, for a member once told me that there are two paths . . . One path is hidden and one path is obvious. The right and the wrong . . . I have come to accept that I have chosen the obvious path, which is the wrong. I find comfort in knowing that wrong done for the right reasons is considered neither. A path in between love and hate, heaven and hell . . . the path that is not considered a choice but a will. A simple will to change what has been left in silence for thousands of years. The silence will be broken once and for all; our voices will be heard by the race that took the choice for granted. They burn each and every resource for their own gain. To live a fantastic life filled with riches, they gained by murdering the purest and simplest of all . . . our Mother Land. I have lived there and what I saw made me make this wrong decision. We are not the ones who should have been damned into this hell. We will stand together for the life they have taken from the innocent beings that carry our blood. The only true pure form of the great Creators hand, the living that have no path to choose. The Great Galliwasp

The fundamental concept of The Biology and Identification of the Coccidia (Apicomplexa) of Carnivores of the World is to provide an up-to-date reference guide to the identification, taxonomy, and known biology of apicomplexan intestinal and tissue parasites of carnivores including, but not limited to, geographic distribution, prevalence, sporulation, prepatent and patent periods, site(s) of infection in the definitive and (if known) intermediate hosts, endogenous development, cross-transmission, pathology, phylogeny, and (if known) their treatments. These data will allow easy parasite recognition with a summation of virtually everything now known about the biology of each parasite species covered. The last (very modest) and only treatise published on this subject was in 1981 so this book fills a fundamental gap in our knowledge of what is now known, and what is not, about the coccidian parasites that infect and sometimes kill carnivores and/or their prey that can harbor intermediate stages, including many domestic and game animals. Offers line drawings and photomicrographs of many parasite species that will allow easy diagnosis and identification by both laypersons and professionals (veterinarians, wildlife biologists, etc.) Presents a complete historical rendition of all known publications on carnivore coccidia for all carnivore families and evaluates the scientific and scholarly merit of each apicomplexan species relative to the current body of knowledge Provides a complete species analysis and their known biology of all coccidia described from each carnivore lineage and species Reviews the most current taxonomy of carnivores and their phylogenetic relationships to help assess host-specificity patterns that may be apparent Evaluates what little cross-transmission work is available to help understand the complexities of those coccidians that use two hosts (e.g., Sarcocystis, Besnoitia, and others) Provides known treatments for the various parasite genera/species

The limestone region of PR covers about 27% of the island1s surface and has karst features. The karst belt (KB), that part of the northern limestone with the most spectacular karst landforms, covering 65% of the northern limestone, is the focus here. Chapters: geography; features: geomorphological, hydrological, and ecological diversity; nat1l. resources; econ. importance: water, other minerals, ag., forestry, and environ. disturbances; history of intensive use; vulnerable to human activity: cutting vs. paved over forests, draining vs. filling wetlands, conversion vs. trans1n. of land uses, pumping vs. overdrafting aquifers, contaminating vs. poisoning ground water, and surface water pollution; and proposal for transferring KB to the public domain.

As the first four-legged vertebrates, called tetrapods, crept up along the shores of ancient primordial seas, feeding was among the most paramount of their concerns. Looking back into the mists of evolutionary time, fish-like ancestors can be seen transformed by natural selection and other evolutionary pressures into animals with feeding habitats as varied as an anteater and a whale. From frog to pheasant and salamander to snake, every lineage of tetrapods has evolved unique feeding anatomy and behavior.Similarities in widely divergent tetrapods vividly illustrate their shared common ancestry. At the same time, numerous differences between and among tetrapods document the power and majesty that comprises organismal evolutionary history.Feeding is a detailed survey of the varied ways that land vertebrates acquire food. The functional anatomy and the control of complex and dynamic structural components are recurrent themes of this volume. Luminaries in the discipline of feeding biology have joined forces to create a book certain to stimulate future studies of animal anatomy and behavior.
