Exposure of albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) to lights of varying wavelengths; effect on haematological profile, plasma electrolytes and weight gain
Dedeke, G. A., Kehinde, F. O., Olatinwo, O. R., Johnson, O. I. Adewale, A. O.The study investigated the effect of exposure to monochromatic lights (ambient - control, blue, red, yellow, white) on haematology, plasma electrolytes, growth hormone and weight changes in albino rat (Rattus norvegicus).

Gadzama, I. M. K, Ezealor A.U, Aken Ova T. and Balarabe M. L.The composition and distribution of terrestrial molluscs was studied for three years in different terrestrial habitats in northern Nigeria. This was done to determine the terrestrial mollusk fauna, establish their taxonomic positions and assess
Adedoja O , Kehinde T, Kehinde O. and Alo O.Insect-flower interactions in crop fields and native vegetation habitats have been well studied. However, there is paucity of information on the flower-visiting insect communities of ornamental flower gardens and lawns especially in south-west Nig...
