Caught basking in the winter sun: Preliminary data on winter thermoregulation in the Ethiopian hedgehog, Paraechinus aethiopicus, in Qatar
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
Biologists focus on thermoregulation of desert mammals in terms of how they minimize heat gain, and put less effort on how they maximize heat gain during the cooler months. Heat gain may contribute to significant energy ...
Isolation, screening and activity of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from harsh soils
(
Avestia Publishing
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The study of microbial communities in relation to their ecology, interaction, and genetics must be covered in Qatar with special soil, weather and water. Microorganisms of an environment never having been exposed to such ...

The postnatal growth and development of the Ethiopian hedgehog (Paraechinus aethiopicus) were studied in captivity. Seven females produced seven litters that ranged between two and five young (average 3.3, SE±0.42) with ...
Impact of thinning on carbon storage of dead organic matter across larch and oak stands in South Korea
(
SISEF - Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology
, 2016 , Article)
