Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly assuming significant responsibilities because it can be used to curate data on wildlife observations, migration patterns, ecological population monitoring, and behavior understanding. In this study, current trends in how artificial intelligence is used to understand activities of Eidolon helvum fruit bats are...

The quest for renewable energy generation is fast increasing globally due to environmental degradation by fossil fuels. The energy production from the anaerobic codigestion of pineapple peels (PPs) and poultry manure (PM) was assessed in the present study. Prior to digestion, the PPs were pretreated using a strong acid (sulfuric acid) and a low‐cos...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Aspergillus niger (A. niger) degraded citrus pulp on the performance, nutrient utilization, haematological and serum biochemistry on layers. A total of two hundred and fifty two (252) laying birds that were thirty (30) weeks old were randomly allocated to the diets. Degraded and undegraded...

Aiba Reservoir, created primarily for the provision of potable water to Iwo and surrounding communities, was studied to determine the influence of anthropogenic activities on spatio-seasonal reservoir water quality; bioavailability of heavy metals in reservoir water and sediments; and to identify contamination sources and periods. Water and sedimen...

The aim of this study was to characterize 43 genotypes from five yam species [Dioscorea rotundata (Poir), Dioscorea alata (Linn), Dioscorea bulbifera (Linn), Dioscorea cayenensis (Lam) and Dioscorea dumetorum (Kunith) Pax] which are major land races in Nigeria in terms of their chemical composition, nutritional, anti-nutritional and mineral bioavai...

This study was conducted out to assess changes in nutritive value of citrus pulp (CTP) fermented with Penicillium notatum and Penicillium citrinum using in vitro gas production technique. After the fungal biodegradation of CTP in a solid state fermentation, the chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of the undegraded and the degraded CTP w...

The distribution of non-essential trace elements in some vital organs of 11 fish species from Aiba Reservoir, Iwo, Nigeria was assessed between November, 2010 and June 2011. The fish species belong to seven families; family Mormyridae, family Cyprinidae, family Hepsetidae and family Channidae each with one species; family Bagridae and family Clarii...

The status of arsenic in Aiba Reservoir, Iwo, Nigeria was assessed to determine its levels and distribution in water, sediment and tissues of fish. Total arsenic was estimated by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean levels detected for reservoir water (1.50 ± 0.22ppb) and sediment (2.00 ± 0.17ppb) were below the World Health Organization r...

Aims: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a major public health concern, the aim was to study bacterial resistance to antibiotics in bacteria isolated from Aiba water sampled from 4 locations in 3 different months Place and Duration of Study: Water samples were collected from Aiba reservoir Iwo and Isolation and characterization of bacte...

Aspects of the biology of an economically important crab, Callinectes amnicola (De Rochebrune, 1883), were studied to determine the growth pattern, condition factor, ectoparasitic load and trace metal (Manganese, Zinc, Lead, Cadmium and Mercury) levels. Water and sediment samples were also collected for trace metal analysis and to determine bioconc...

Seasonal variation of some physico-chemical parameters of Aiba stream at four locations was assessed in this study. Over the years, the stream has been subjected to various human interferences and water quality was getting deteriorated gradually. Major anthropogenic activities practiced in and around the river are as follows: irrigation activities,...

Fortnight phytoplankton sampling of Aiba Reservoir was carried out between March 2004 and February 2005 to determine phytoplankton succession pattern. Five major phytoplankton groups identified show two similar ordered directional repeated sequences of abundance peak patterns during an annual cycle; each began with a peak in Cyanophyceae abundance...

This study reports the growth pattern and six percentage morphometric characters (relative to standard length) that could be used to discriminate small sizes of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus and C. auratus from samples collected in Aiba Reservoir, Iwo, Nigeria.

Environmentalists have become increasingly concerned about the pollution of surface waters. The Aiba reservoir is the second oldest impoundment of Osun river basin and provides potable water to Iwo community. The diversity of bacteria in the Aiba Reservoir was studied by collecting water samples from four locations within the reservoir to reflect h...

Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus and C. auratus are important, highly valued and threatened freshwater species. To contribute with their ecological knowledge, the condition factor and diet of these two congeneric species were studied between April 2005 and April 2006. Food items of fish were evaluated by occurrence and numerical abundance methods, and t...

Spatial and seasonal variation in macrozoobenthic composition, abundance and diversity in Aiba Reservoir were investigated bimonthy between June 2004 and April 2005 using a van Veen grab. A depauperate fauna of nine taxa was recorded. Generally, larger numbers of taxa were recorded during the dry season than in the wet season. Melanoides tuberculat...

Aiba Reservoir was sampled between March, 2004 and February, 2005 for physico-chemical studies. Air temperatures ranged from 20.00 - 30.50°C (mean ± s.e: 26.33 ± 0.26°C), water temperature ranged from 25.00 - 35.00°C (mean ± s.e: 29.26 ± 0.19°C), pH ranged from 5.53 - 9.48 (mean ± s.e: 7.98 ± 0.11), dissolved oxygen ranged from 1.75 - 11.20 mgO2/l...

The plankton of a polluted river in Ibadan city, Nigeria was studied during the early rainy season to assess spatial variation in taxa composition, abundance, distribution and diversity. Five sampling stations were established along the course of the river spanning a distance of about 10 kilometers. Forty-eight genera of plankton were recorded; nin...
