Unfolded Sloth-bear neocortex
No full text<p>This is the unfolded neocortex of the Sloth Bear from the brain catalogue (http://siphonophore.org/braincatalogue). The brain is viewed from the top, the interhemispheric margin is in the middle of the image, left hemisphere to the left, right hemisphere to the right, and frontal lobe to the top. The left- and right-most structures are the temporal lobes.</p

Index of Relative Importance of the Dietary Proportions of Sloth Bear (<i>Melursus ursinus</i>) in Semi-Arid Region
No full textCharacterisations of the Sloth bear (Melursus ursinus) diet during three distinguished seasons (monsoon, winter and summer) in the semi-arid region of western India was under study. Diet was estimated using scat analysis, based on the calculation of Index of Relative Importance (IRI) in order to determine the contribution of different food items in the Sloth bear diet. Sloth bears were observed to feed on a wide variety of prey items. They are specialized on insect prey, particularly termites or ants, and are considered as myrmecophagous. The myrmecophagousis character was confirmed by the highest score of insect part (IRI = 21.37) from the samples (n = 566), which was followed by Diospyros melanoxylon (IRI Score 13.51), Ficus spp. (IRI score 12.69) and Cassia fistula (IRI Score 10.13). Sloth bear dietary proportions varied among the three seasons under the study interval. Data suggested that the Sloth bear is essentially behaving as an omnivore, having similar diet (in terms of high incidence of wild fruits and insects) with the bears inhabiting semi-arid regions. The opportunistic and generalist strategy of selecting diet ingredients has probably helped the species to survive in semi-arid habitat across the North Gujarat.</p

LONG SHORE TRANSPORT AT BERM BREAKWATERS AND GRAVEL BEACHES
No full textAn existing model for long shore transport at reshaping or berm breakwaters and gravel beaches (Lamberti and Tomasicchio, 1997) has been re-calibrated based on further 3D laboratory investigations (DHI, 1995). The experiments have been performed at the DHI wave basin and considered the a berm breakwater subjected to head on and oblique wave attacks. Re-calibration allows to propose a model simpler to use and even more reliable
