Gastrointestinal osmolality electrolyte and organic acid composition in five species of East African herbivorous mammals.
(1980-10)
Inherent differences observed in ionic
composition of gastrointestinal contents due to
diet, feeding regimen and (or) site along the
length of the digestive tract were controlled so
that a clearer understanding of ...
The morphology of the respiratory organs of the African air-breathing catfish (Clarias mossambicus): A light, electron and scanning microscopic study, with morphometric observations
(1986)
The morphology of the gas exchange organs of the African air-breathing catfish (Clarias mossambicus) (Peters) have been examined grossly, and by light, electron and scanning microscopes. The respiratory organs in Clarias ...
Water balance and osmotic regulation in the East African tenebrionid beetle Phrynocolus petrosus
(University of Nairobi, 1987)
1. When tenebrionid beetles of the species Phrynocolus petrosus undergo evaporative dehydration, the relative water content changes less than is predictable from the water loss alone. The discrepancy from the predictable ...
Function of the lower intestine and osmoregulation in the ostrich: preliminary anatomical and physiological observations.
(1984-10)
The gross anatomy of the lower intestine of the African ostrich (Struthio camelus) was investigated in four adult birds shot in the wild. The presence of 80 cm long paired caeca, and approximately 10 m of colon between ...
Na+ AND Cl~ EFFLUXES AND IONIC REGULATION IN TILAPIA GRAHAMI, A FISH LIVING IN CONDITIONS OF EXTREME ALKALINITY
(1981)
The osmoregularity ability of the cichlid Tilapia grahami enables this fish to live
in conditions of extreme alkalinity (Reite, Maloiy & Aashaug, 1974; Maloiy et al.
1978). In this paper we describe the ionic balance of ...

(Wiley, 1986)
The morphology of the gas exchange organs of the African air-breathing catfish (Clarias mossambicus) (Peters) have been examined grossly, and by light, electron and scanning microscopes. The respiratory organs in Clarias ...
