Abstract The rental value of individual properties does not only depend on the physical characteristics but also on the environment that surrounds a building. Meanwhile, improper solid waste disposal reduced of rental value of properties. This study, therefore, examined the effect of dumpsite on residential rental value in Oluyole LGA Oyo state, Nigeria. A cross-sectional […]

PHENOTYPIC CHARACTERIZATION AND OCCURRENCE OF PANGOLIN SPECIES IN BUSH MEAT MARKET AT EMURE-ILE, ONDO STATE, NIGERIA
Abstract Update on identification key for existing species is important in the face of constant over exploitation and habitat destruction which may force species to reduce/expand their range and may lead to overlap in habitat of species and consequently hybridization in distinct species or subspecies. Pangolin species occurring in Emure-ile, state, Nigeria were compared for […]
HYBRID SINGLE PARTICLE SIMULATION OF ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTANTS OVER BUNGOMA COUNTY IN KENYA
Abstract Microscale dispersion models with different levels of complexity may be used to assess urban air quality and support decision making for pollution control. Mathematical models calculate pollutant concentrations by solving either analytically a simplified set of parametric equations or numerically a set of differential equations that describe in detail wind flow and pollutant dispersion. […]
ECTOPARASITE DIVERSITY ON FAUNA SPECIES OF ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE IN ONDO STATE, NIGERIA
Abstract Ectoparasites diversity was assessed on selected fauna species (Grasscutter Thryonomys swinderianus, Grey duiker Sylvicapra grimmia, and Pangolin Phataginus spp.), for their prevalence at dry season and rainy season, and to determine the animal species most suspectible to ectoparasite infestation. Isolated parasites from the fauna species were preserved in 70% ethanol until they were viewed […]
