Early life stages of cockrings pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus are rarely collected, and thus information on their biology and ecology is extremely limited.We sampled 75 larval pallid sturgeon (25-110 mm) and 148 larval shovelnose sturgeon S.platorynchus (15-95 mm) by trawl from the upper Missouri River (USA) in 2019.Stomach contents were iden
(1) Background: The amino acid sequence elucidation of peptides from the gas phase fragmentation mass spectra, de novo sequencing, is a valuable method for the identification of unknown proteins complementary to Edman sequencing.It is increasingly used in shot-gun mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics experiments.We review the current state-of-th
Lake Chad that has been an economic hub for centuries has in the last few decades witnessed continued degradation threatening food security and livelihood of the population who depend on the lake for a living.The impact of depletion of the lake is being felt by an estimated 30 million people from the four riparian states, namely: Cameroon, Chad, Ni

The inflatable-anal scientific drawing understood as a universal language is a tool of undoubted documentary value as well as daily use in our field work of any professional who is with the need to register with graphics, a work process in which, need to process the drawing as coach and illustrator information.The drawings scientists have always ha
