The Alpine Marmot is a species of marmot found in mountainous areas of central and southern Europe. Alpine Marmots live at heights between 800 and 3,200 metres, in the Alps, Carpathians, Tatras, the Pyrenees and Northern Apennines Italy. They were reintroduced with success in the Pyrenees in 1948, where the Alpine Marmot had disappeared at end of the Pleistocene epoch. They are excellent diggers, able to penetrate soil that even a pickaxe would have difficulty with, and spend up to nine months per year in hibernation. An adult Alpine Marmot may weigh between 4 and 8 kg and reach between 42–54 cm in length. This makes the Alpine Marmot the largest squirrel species. Данное издание не является...

The Alpine Spaniel is an extinct breed of dog used in mountain rescues by the Augustinian Canons, who run hospices in the region around the Great St. Bernard Pass. The spaniel was a large dog notable for its thick curly coat. One of the most famous specimens of the Alpine Spaniel is Barry, however his preserved body has been modified on more than one occasion to fit with descriptions of the extinct breed from earlier time periods. Due to the conditions in the Alps, and a series of accidents, extinction was discussed as a possibility by authors during the 1830s, and at some point prior to 1847 the entire breed was reduced to a single example due to...

The Alpine Swift syn. is a small bird, superficially similar to a large Barn Swallow or House Martin. It is, however, completely unrelated to those passerine species, since swifts are in the order Apodiformes. The resemblances between the groups are due to convergent evolution, reflecting similar life styles. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

The Alsatian Shepalute originating in the United States of America prized for its calm, quiet demeanor and intelligent, loving devotion to its human family. Although this breed started from purebred Alaskan Malamute, German Shepherd Dog, English Mastiff, Anatolian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees lines, through selective breeding, these dogs have evolved into large companion dogs, making them the only large breed of dog originally bred for this purpose. Although the Alsatian Shepalute can be trained to work and some have been successful as wilderness search and rescue dogs, this breed does not possess a strong desire for the physical demands of most dog endeavors. The Alsatian Shepalute is most suited for the gentle work of therapy dogs or...

It is often considered to be a subspecies of the Saker falcon (Falco cherrug). It breeds in relatively small area in Central Asia across the Altai and Sayan Mountains. This area overlaps with the much larger breeding area of the Saker falcon (Falco cherrug). It appears that Altai falcons are either natural hybrids between Sakers and Gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus), or rather the descendants of such rare hybrids back-crossing into the large population of Sakers. Current molecular genetic studies could not yet prove or falsify this hypothesis....

Weeds undesirable plants have pour many negative effects on the yield of the economically growing crops .To control these noxious plants scientist tried chemical control strategies but for last many years these chemicals have been found to be very harmful for the other lives. This has necessitated a more intensive search for alternative weed management strategies .The idea of using plant pathogens for management of weeds is not new; however, the concept of the development of a bioherbicide technology as a specialized field of study is very young. In present study use of two strains of Alternaria alternata has been tested on two noxious weed species Rumex dentaus and Chenopodium album ,of wheat crop and efforts have been made to evolve...

Perennial forages are always in short supply or low in quality during summer because of high temperatures that favor the growth of perennial grasses in the temperate regions such as Appalachian highlands of the United States. During winter, low temperature is a hindrance to growth of perennial grasses. This book highlights the annual forages that can be grown to supplement perennial forages during summer and winter. Sudan grass and pearl millet are two annuals that can be grown in summer and winter annuals are Triticale and a mixture of turnip and annual ryegrass. Glyphosate and burning, are two methods of pre vegetation control that are compared. The study recommends use of glyphosate as a pre plant vegetation control. Sudan grass and...

Several cultivars are used in the aquarium trade. This is a small herbaceous plant, which when living in marsh conditions has two forms: emergent (in which case the plant has grown out of the water or on the ground), and submersed (in which case the plant has grown underwater). The leaves have a wide cross shape, lance late to elliptic, and they get thinner where the leafstalk should be, or they have a very short leafstalk. They are 1.5 inches (4cm) length and 0.6 inches (15mm) wide. The upper part of the leave is dark green to olive green, and the lower...

Most scientists and governments say they agree that animal testing should cause as little suffering as possible, and that alternatives to animal testing need to be developed. The "three Rs", first described by Russell and Burch in 1959, are guiding principles for the use of animals in research in many countries: 1. Replacement refers to the preferred use of non-animal methods over animal methods whenever it is possible to achieve the same scientific aim. 2. Reduction refers to methods that enable researchers to obtain comparable levels of information from fewer animals, or to obtain more information from the same number of animals. 3. Refinement...

Aquatic plants are plants that have adapted to living within aquatic environments. They are also referred to as hydrophytes or aquatic macrophytes. These plants require special adaptations for living submerged in water or at the water's surface. Aquatic plants can only grow in water or in soil that is permanently saturated with water. Aquatic vascular plants can be ferns or angiosperms (from a variety of families, including among the monocots and dicots). Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Altirhinus is a genus of iguanodontian ornithopod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Period of Mongolia. It was herbivorous and bipedal when walking or running, but probably became quadrupedal when feeding from the ground. The entire body probably extended 26 feet from snout to tail tip. The skull alone is about 30 inches long, with a wide mouth and a distinctive tall arch on top of its snout, from which this dinosaur derives its name. The name was created in 1998 from a Latin word, altus and a Greek word, rhinos. There is one known species, which honors Sergei Kurzanov, the influential Russian paleontologist who originally found the specimens in 1981. Данное издание не...

In a career which lasted from the autumn of 1947 until September 1949 he ran seventeen times and won eleven races. He was the second best British three-year-old of his generation, when he finished second to Black Tarquin in the St. Leger Stakes. He was undefeated in his remaining seven races, defeating Black Tarquin in the 1949 Ascot Gold Cup and going on to win the Stayers` Triple Crown. After his retirement from racing he became the Leading sire in Great Britain & Ireland in 1955, despite having low fertility and a relatively short career at stud.
