Bioaccumulation of heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons in the blue crab
(Callinectes sapidus, Rathbun 1896) from Ogu Creek in Upper Bonny Estuary,
Nigeria
Ogbuagu, D. H., Abara, P. N. and Chiegboka, N. A.Prolonged industrial and artisanal discharge of petroleum refinery effluents into
the Ogu Creek at the Upper Bonny estuary of the Niger Delta could pose a great
threat to the aquatic biotopes. This research investigated bioaccumulation o...
Assessment of reproductive hormones in prepubertal and postpubertal rats
(Rattus norvegicus) on chronic exposure to various spectra of artificial light at
night
Kehinde, F. O., Dedeke, G. A., Olude, M. A., Ademolu, K. O., Aladesida, A. A. Adewale A. O. and Owagboriaye F. O.
Exposures to Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) is on the increase with resultant
varied physiological impact related to the light spectrum via the non-visual
pathway. This study examined the effects of various spectra of ALAN on
Growth performance and condition factor of Oreochromis niloticus (Linneaus,
1758) after exposure to chemically dispersed Bonny Light crude oil
Lelei, K. E., Sikoki, F. D. and Onyeche, V. O. Dispersants are employed in oil spill situations to emulsify the oil into the water
column thereby, facilitating weathering; this is without consideration for aquatic
life and productivity. A renewal static bioassay was used to assess th...

Insect diversity and abundance in three forest areas of Lagos State
Alafia, A. O., Ajelara, K. O., Onyema, H. E.1, Reis, G. A2., Ogun, M. L.3, Anikwe, J. C.4, Denloye, A. A.1 and Makanjuola, W. A.Mangrove forest ecosystem preserves diversity of species, which includes insects. Insects serve as bioindicators, pollinators and nutrient recyclers in the forest. However, the number of insects decline as the forest fades. We conducted this field...
