The morphology of the gills of the freshwater African crab Potamon niloticus (Crustacea: Brachyura: Potamonidae): A scanning and transmission electron microscopic study
(Wiley, 1990)
The gills of the African freshwater crab Potamon niloticus-Ortmann have been investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Potamon has seven pairs of phyllobranchiate gills contained in the branchial ...
Gill structure of a fish from an alkaline lake: effect of short-term exposure to neutral conditions
(Research Press, 1995)
The morphology and morphometry of the gills of Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, a unique ureogenic teleost that lives in the alkaline environment of Lake Magadi, Kenya (pH 10, , temperature 30 – 40 °C) were examined by ...
Surface specialization of the capillary endothelium in the pecten oculi of the chicken, and their overt roles in pectineal haemodynamics and nutrient transfer to the inner neural retina
(Univesity of Nairobi, 1997)
The structure of the capillary endothelium in the pecten oculi of the domestic fowl was investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy results demonstrated the existence of a ...
Adaptations of a tropical swamp worm, alma emini, for subsistence in a H2S-rich habitat: evolution of endosymbiotic bacteria, sulfide metabolizing bodies, and novel processes of elimination of neutralized sulfide complexes
(1998)
The epithelial cell lining of the respiratory groove of Alma emini, an oligochaete glossoscolecid worm that lives in a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-rich tropical swamp, was investigated by transmission electron microscopy to ...
Histological Reactions to Bites of Amblyomma variagatum and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (Acari: Ixodidae) Fed Simultaneously on Naive or Sensitized Rabbits
(Entomological Society of America, 1990)
Histopathological studies on attachment sites of nymphs, 48 h after attachment on three groups of rabbits, have revealed differences that were related to the rabbits'previous tick experience. Feeding lesions caused by ...
A stereological comparison of villous and microvillous surfaces in small intestines of frugivorous and entomophagous bats: species, inter-individual and craniocaudal differences
(1997)
The extents of functional surfaces (villi, microvilli) have
been estimated at different longitudinal sites, and in the
entire small intestine, for three species of bats belonging to
two feeding groups: insect- and ...
Morphometries of the avian lung: The structural-functional correlations in the design of the lungs of birds
(ScienceDirect, 1993)
1. Birds present remarkably variable pulmonary morphometric characteristics which closely correspond with factors such as phylogeny, body size, mode of life and habitat. These factors determine the oxygen demands, energetics ...
The morphology of the intestine of the insectivorous horseshoe bat {Rhinolophus hildebrandti, Peters): a scanning electron and light microscopic study
(Wiley, 1994)
The gastrointestinal tract of the horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus hildebrandti (Peters), was studied macroscopically, with the light microscope and with the scanning electron microscope. Macroscopically, the stomach was of the ...
