(Non-included background: Bharal are Himalayan blue sheep)
Having determined the best area in which to do the study, I now proceeded to the actual survey. I did a total count to assess bharal population structures across the three treatments. The census was conducted on 2nd April 2008. Each treatment was thoroughly searched by two teams of two persons independently. The census was conducted from horseback, on foot and from all terrain vehicles. After encountering a group their location and structure was recorded. Bharal were classified as per Mishra et al. (2004).

The cells were prepared for microscopy in the following way. First a suspension of cells (in a 2 mL Eppendorf tube) was concentrated by precipitation in a low-speed centrifuge. The supernatant was then removed and 1mL of 3% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M Na cacodylate buffer (pH 7.4) was added to the remaining concentrated cell suspension, so as to chemically fix the cells. After an hour of exposure to the fixative, the cells were rinsed by being recentrifuged three times, with the supernatant each time being removed and replaced with phosphate buffer solution. The mitochondrial dye, MITO22, was then added to the suspension at concentration on 0.5uM. After one hour cells were placed on a glass slide under a coverslip and viewed on an Olympus inverted fluorescence microscope using a TRITC filter set.

People of the region are mainly agro-pastoralists. Green peas, black peas (local variety of peas) and barley form the main agricultural crops. Domestic livestock include goats, sheep, horses, donkeys, cows, and yak and cow-yak hybrid. Wild herbivores of the region include ibex and hare. Predators of bharal include large carnivores like snow leopard, Tibetan wolf and Gray and Golden Eagle.

Despite laying eggs, the platypus is considered a mammal. It has fur which, when examined in detail, is structurally similar to that of non-egg-laying mammals. The hair scales of the shaft show the typical mammalian shift in shape between the base and the tip. The platypus produces a milky secretion that is used to suckle its young. These two features are universally acknowledged as definitive characteristics of the class Mammalia.

Fungi often create vast underground networks of interconnected filaments that are all derived from a single reproductive propagule. Studies have shown that within this "organism" there can be significant genetic variation between different sections of the colony. We explored whether the extent of genetic variation in such colonies is proportional to the variation in a soil feature that is critical to fungal growth: soil phosphorus levels. We examined four existing colonies of the honey fungus Armallaria ostoyae each extending over an area of at least 0.6 hectare. Preliminary genetic studies had established that each colony had developed from a single progagule. A transect line of 50 metres was established for each colony, and soil and fungal hyphae were sampled at 5m intervals. Soil phosphorus levels were determined by standard spectometry, and a Random Amplified Microsatellites approach was used to assess genetic variation.

These species may join and follow mixed-species flocks only part of the time to satisfy their dietary requirement of insects, accounting for their status as regular attendants, rather than as core species.

Leaves of most adult eucalypts respond to low light levels by increasing their surface area, and decreasing their thickness. The response of leaves to low light levels has however not been tested during the juvenile stage of growth for any eucalypt species. In this study, we studied the growth response of leaves of juvenile trees of Eucalyptus grandis to reduced light levels using the following procedure.Twelve 5m x 5m plots were chosen randomly in a half-hectare field in which seedlings of E. grandis are grown commercially. Four irradiance levels (full sunlight, 75% sunlight, 50% sunlight, 25% sunlight) were assigned randomly to plots, each level being replicated three times. Irradiance level was varied by shading plots with different thicknesses of shade cloth. At the start of the study, 10 young leaves (less than 3cm in length) were identified on each tree, by marking their petioles with indelible ink. Two months later, all marked leaves were removed, and their growth parameters were measured and analysed statistically.
