Journal of Research in Biology - Volume 3 Issue 1.pdf

Abstract

This is Volume 3 - Issue 1 of the Journal of Research in Biology. Journal of Research in Biology is an international scientific journal committed to the development and spread of research in Biological sciences. It accepts research articles with affiliation to biological science from all around the globe and publishes them in the journal. The submitted articles are peer-reviewed by experts in the field and editorial board members.

Key takeaways

  • The anatomy of the olfactory apparatus shows wide range of structural diversity regarding the shape and size of the olfactory rosette, number of the olfactory lamellae, occurrence of accessory nasal sacs, etc. among the teleostean groups (Kleerekoper, 1969) and Platycephalus scaber (Linnaeus, 1758), an estuarine amphidromous fish to unfold their structural components and functional significance in olfaction.
  • The absence of accessory nasal sacs is noted in the olfactory apparatus of P. scaber.
  • The sense of olfaction is mediated through olfactory apparatus associated with nostrils.
  • The olfactory nerve may convey the chemical cues during water ventilation to the brain (Hamdani and
  • Grazer presence alters periphyton architecture, increases periphytic heterogeneity and relative availability of nutrients (through reducing Carbon: nutrient ratio) per unit biomass enhancing periphytic nutrient uptake.
