TL;DR: A possible functional significance of AChE in the light of relative enzymatic localization especially in Hoffmann-Kolliker nuclei (motor cell groups), substantia gelatinosa and other regions of gray matter of 2 avian glycogen bodies has been discussed.
Abstract: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was studied in the glycogen bodies of the spinal cords of 2 birds namelyStreptopelia senegalensis andPasser domesticus. A possible functional significance of AChE in the light of relative enzymatic localization especially in Hoffmann-Kolliker nuclei (motor cell groups), substantia gelatinosa and other regions of gray matter of 2 avian glycogen bodies has been discussed.

TL;DR: Preliminary results compiled from visual observations and questionnaires indicated that a large variety of crops were attacked at planting and seedling stages of growth by the red-eyed turtle dove.
Abstract: Author(s): Akande, Modupe | Abstract: Preliminary results compiled from visual observations and questionnaires indicated that a large variety of crops including soyabean, cowpea, groundnut, maize, rice, and sorghum were attacked at planting and seedling stages of growth by the red-eyed turtle dove (Streptopelia semitorguata). The social conditions under which this bird is protected, by social taboos and also as an attractive and common household pet in many parts of Nigeria, limit the control options that could be used to stop its deleterious activities. In the meantime, research efforts are being directed to the understanding of the population ecology and biology of the species as a prerequisite to determining appropriate control strategies.
