Zinc in pregnancy, associated with prolonged labor

Introduction: It is plausible that pregnancy may result in a decrease in the serum zinc concentration.The concentration of serum zinc is an important determinant of maternal complications.The aim of the current study was to identify serum zinc concentration and evaluate the possible correlation of this concentration with the length of first and sec

Evaluating the impact of handling and logger attachment on foraging parameters and physiology in southern rockhopper penguins.

Logger technology has revolutionised our knowledge of the behaviour and physiology of free-living animals but handling and logger attachments may have negative effects on the behaviour of the animals and their welfare.We studied southern rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome) females during the guard stage in three consecutive breeding seasons (2
