  • Grain-Size Variability Within a Mega-Scale Point-Bar System, False River, Louisiana
    Sedimentology (2018) doi: 10.1111/sed.12528 Grain-size variability within a mega-scale point-bar system, False River, Louisiana PETER D. CLIFT*†, ELIZABETH D. OLSON*, ALEXANDRA LECHNOWSKYJ*, MARY GRACE MORAN*, ALLISON BARBATO* and JUAN M. LORENZO* *Department of Geology and Geophysics, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA (E-mail: [email protected]) †Coastal Studies Institute, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA ABSTRACT Point bars formed by meandering river systems are an important class of sedimentary deposit and are of significant economic interest as hydrocar- bon reservoirs. Standard point-bar models of how the internal sedimentol- ogy varies are based on the structure of small-scale systems with little information about the largest complexes and how these might differ. Here a very large point bar (>25Á0 m thick and 7Á5 9 13Á0 km across) on the Mis- sissippi River (USA) was examined. The lithology and grain-size character- istics at different parts of the point bar were determined by using a combination of coring and electrical conductivity logging. The data confirm that there is a general fining up-section along most parts of the point bar, with a well-defined transition from massive medium-grained sands below about 9 to 11 m depth up into interbedded silts and fine–medium sand sediment (inclined heterolithic strata). There is also a poorly defined increase in sorting quality at the transition level. Massive medium sands are especially common in the region of the channel bend apex and regions upstream of that point. Downstream of the meander apex, there is much less evidence for fining up-section.

  • Prevent Problems with Large Boas & Pythons
    Client Education—Snake Safety Tips Prevent Problems with Large Boas & Pythons ! According to the Humane Society of the United States,17 deaths and many more injuries have been related to large constrictors since 1978. Given the tens of thousands of large constrictors sold, the incidence of fatalities and injuries is relatively low, however every incident—including the death of four babies in their cribs and three additional children— is particularly tragic since such cases are completely preventable. So called “giant snakes” regularly exceed 8 feet (2.4 m) in length, potentially making them difficult or even unsafe to handle. Large constrictor species include the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus), Indian python (Python molurus), African rock python (Python sebae), amethystine python (Morelia amethistina), reticulated python (Python reticulatus), and Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus). Only the latter two species, reticulated and Burmese pythons, are regularly found in the pet trade, however these species can exceed 20 feet (6.1 m) and are not recommended for casual hobbyists. One real life tragedy: In 2011, a Florida mother and her boyfriend were found guilty of the murder of her 2-year old daughter, strangled by her 8-foot 6- “The baby’s dead. inch pet Burmese python. The child was found in her crib, with the Our stupid snake snake coiled tightly around her neck and numerous bite marks on got out in the middle her face. of the night and strangled the Evaluation of the albino python named “Gypsy” found her to be baby”.—Florida man underweight, and the snake's enclosure had only a quilt for a lid.

  • Investigations Into the Presence of Nidoviruses in Pythons Silvia Blahak1, Maria Jenckel2,3, Dirk Höper2, Martin Beer2, Bernd Hoffmann2 and Kore Schlottau2*
    Blahak et al. Virology Journal (2020) 17:6 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985-020-1279-5 RESEARCH Open Access Investigations into the presence of nidoviruses in pythons Silvia Blahak1, Maria Jenckel2,3, Dirk Höper2, Martin Beer2, Bernd Hoffmann2 and Kore Schlottau2* Abstract Background: Pneumonia and stomatitis represent severe and often fatal diseases in different captive snakes. Apart from bacterial infections, paramyxo-, adeno-, reo- and arenaviruses cause these diseases. In 2014, new viruses emerged as the cause of pneumonia in pythons. In a few publications, nidoviruses have been reported in association with pneumonia in ball pythons and a tiger python. The viruses were found using new sequencing methods from the organ tissue of dead animals. Methods: Severe pneumonia and stomatitis resulted in a high mortality rate in a captive breeding collection of green tree pythons. Unbiased deep sequencing lead to the detection of nidoviral sequences. A developed RT-qPCR was used to confirm the metagenome results and to determine the importance of this virus. A total of 1554 different boid snakes, including animals suffering from respiratory diseases as well as healthy controls, were screened for nidoviruses. Furthermore, in addition to two full-length sequences, partial sequences were generated from different snake species. Results: The assembled full-length snake nidovirus genomes share only an overall genome sequence identity of less than 66.9% to other published snake nidoviruses and new partial sequences vary between 99.89 and 79.4%. Highest viral loads were detected in lung samples. The snake nidovirus was not only present in diseased animals, but also in snakes showing no typical clinical signs.

  • MAHS Care Sheet Master List *By Eric Roscoe Care Sheets Are Often An
    MAHS Care Sheet Master List *By Eric Roscoe Care sheets are often an excellent starting point for learning more about the biology and husbandry of a given species, including their housing/enclosure requirements, temperament and handling, diet , and other aspects of care. MAHS itself has created many such care sheets for a wide range of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates we believe to have straightforward care requirements, and thus make suitable family and beginner’s to intermediate level pets. Some species with much more complex, difficult to meet, or impracticable care requirements than what can be adequately explained in a one page care sheet may be multiple pages. We can also provide additional links, resources, and information on these species we feel are reliable and trustworthy if requested. If you would like to request a copy of a care sheet for any of the species listed below, or have a suggestion for an animal you don’t see on our list, contact us to let us know! Unfortunately, for liability reasons, MAHS is unable to create or publish care sheets for medically significant venomous species. This includes species in the families Crotilidae, Viperidae, and Elapidae, as well as the Helodermatidae (the Gila Monsters and Mexican Beaded Lizards) and some medically significant rear fanged Colubridae. Those that are serious about wishing to learn more about venomous reptile husbandry that cannot be adequately covered in one to three page care sheets should take the time to utilize all available resources by reading books and literature, consulting with, and working with an experienced and knowledgeable mentor in order to learn the ropes hands on.
