A tradeoff between immunocompetence and sexual ornamentation in domestic fowl. (1/33)

Females often select their mates on the basis of the size or intensity of sexual ornaments, and it is thought that such traits are reliable indicators of male quality because the costliness of these traits prevents cheating. The immunocompetence handicap hypothesis is a recently proposed mechanistic explanation of these costs and states that males carry ornaments at the expense of their resistance to disease and parasites. The tradeoff between immunocompetence and sexual ornamentation was hypothesized to arise as a consequence of the dual effect of androgens on ornamentation (+) and immune function (-). To test this hypothesis, we compared comb size between male domestic chickens Gallus domesticus of lines divergently selected for antibody responses to sheep erythrocytes (three lines: selected for low response or high response and a control line). The importance of comb size in inter- and intrasexual selection is well established, and comb size is strongly dependent on testosterone level. Comb size was larger in the males of the low line than in the high line, and comb size of control males was intermediate, indicating a tradeoff between ornamentation and immunocompetence. Testosterone (T) levels varied in a similar fashion (TLow > TControl > THigh), suggesting that this hormone could mediate the tradeoff between ornamentation and immunocompetence. These results support the idea that a tradeoff with immune function may constrain the expression of secondary sexual ornaments.  (+info)

Inter-ocular interference and circadian regulation of the chick electroretinogram. (2/33)

Illumination of a chick's eye allows light to pass through to the retina of the contralateral eye. Electroretinographic (ERG) recording employing the scalp or comb as a reference results in shorter implicit time, higher amplitude and lower sensitivity during the day than during the night in a light:dark (LD) cycle and in constant darkness (DD). ERG recordings employing the contralateral eye as reference abolishes rhythmicity or reverses the phase angle (higher amplitudes at night). This is probably due to light transmission through the eyes to elicit visual responses in the reference. The contralateral eye is a poor choice for reference in birds and obscures physiological analyses of clock control of vision.  (+info)

Central effects of clonidine 2-(2,6-dichlorophenylamino)-2-imidazoline hydrochloride in fowls. (3/33)

1 The effects of clonidine infused into the IIIrd cerebral ventricle, the hypothalamus or intravenously were studied on behaviour, electrocortical activity, body, comb and leg temperatures, respiration and carbon dioxide elimination in adult and young fowls (Gallus domesticus). 2 Behavioural and electrocortical slow wave sleep were induced by clonidine infused into IIIrd cerebral ventricle, the hypothalamus or intravenously. Suprisingly, sleep elicited by intravenous clonidine was much longer-lasting than that induced by an identical dose given intraventricularly. 3 Body temperature was lowered by clonidine given intraventricularly or infused into the hypothalamus. Depending on initial comb temperature and ambient temperature, comb temperature was elevated, unaffected or lowered as body temperature fell; temperature of the unfeathered legs also rose as body temperature declined after clonidine. 4 Following clonidine, but before any considerable decline of body temperature, tachypnoea and wing abduction developed; during recovery of body temperature, the wings were lowered and applied closely to the trunk and the feathers partly erected. 5 CO2 elimination fell more swiftly than body temperature following intrahypothalamic clonidine in young chicks; initial recovery developed sooner than that of body temperature, but eventual recovery was delayed compared to that for body temperature. The effects of clonidine were much more marked in young chicks studied at an ambient temperature below thermoneutrality as compared to thermoneutrality. 6 The soporific effects of clonidine were attenuated by intraventricular phentolamine; its hypothermic effects were prevented by phenoxybenzamine and prevented or attenuated by phentolamine. Intraventricular atropine, haloperidol, methysergide and propranolol were ineffective. 7 Larger doses of intraventricular phentolamine elicited shivering, tachypnoea and wing abduction; body temperature was elevated, to the extent even of lethal hyperthermia. Intraventricular atropine also elevated body temperature. 8 Clonidine infused intravenously, intraventricularly or into the hypothalamus, replaced the behavioural and electrocortical arousal evoked with dexamphetamine, by sleep associated with slow wave electrocortical activity.  (+info)

Effects of bisphenol-A on the growth of comb and testes of male chicken. (4/33)

Bisphenol-A (BPA) has been reported to have some xenoestrogenic effects on the reproductive system of male animals. In this study, we examined the growth of combs and testes of the male chickens exposed to BPA. White leghorn male chicks were administered 200 mg BPA orally every week from 2 wk of age. The combs and testes were examined at 16 wk of age. The body growth showed no significant difference between BPA-administered and control birds. However, the weight of the combs and testes were lower in the BPA-treated birds. Histologically, testes of the control birds were well matured; the seminiferous tubuli were filled with sperm. In contrast, the testes of most of the BPA-treated birds showed an immature appearance with smaller seminiferous tubuli and limited spermatogenesis. These findings suggest that the xenoestrogenic property of BPA might disturb the growth of the comb and testes of male chickens by a possible endocrine disrupting mechanism.  (+info)

In vivo requirement for silicon in articular cartilage and connective tissue formation in the chick. (5/33)

Studies were undertaken to determine further effects of silicon deficiency in the chick. The diet and experimental conditions were the same as those used in previous studies to demonstrate the essentiality of silicon for growth and development. Skeletal and other abnormalities involving glycosaminoglycans in formation of articular cartilage and comb connective tissue were found to be associated with silicon deficiency. The bones of 1 day-old deutectomized cockerels fed a silicon supplemented diet and killed at 4 weeks of age had significantly greater amounts of articular cartilage and water as compared with the silicon deficient group and also a greater proportion of hexosamine in the cartilage. The greater water content in bones of the silicon supplemented chicks coincided with a larger content of glycosaminoglycans in the articular cartilage. A similar relationship was obtained in cockerel comb. In addition to larger amounts of connective tissue and of total hexosamine in combs of the supplemented group, a higher percentage of hexosamine and a higher silicon content was found. These findings provide the first evidence for a requirement for silicon in articular cartilage and connective tissue formation and that the site of action of silicon is in the glycosaminoglycan-protein complexes of the ground substance.  (+info)

Defective reproductive organ morphology and function in domestic rooster embryonically exposed to o,p'-DDT or ethynylestradiol. (6/33)

Environmental pollutants with estrogenic activity have a potential to disrupt estrogen-dependent developmental processes. The objective of this study was to investigate if embryonic exposure to the environmental estrogens o,p'-DDT (1-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethane; 37, 75, 150 or 300 microg/g egg) and EE2 (17alpha-ethynyl estradiol; 60 ng/g egg) affects the reproductive system in domestic roosters. Following egg injection on Embryonic Day 4, the newly hatched chicks were sexed by cloacal inspection. A skewed phenotypic sex ratio with overrepresentation of chicks deemed as females was observed in the groups exposed to the three highest doses of o,p'-DDT but not in the EE2-exposed group. Normal sex ratios were observed in all groups at adulthood. However, a cloacal deformation seemed to remain in the adult roosters, causing an abnormal semen flow upon semen collection. Semen yield was significantly reduced in both o,p'-DDT-exposed and EE2- exposed birds, whereas semen quality was unaffected. When killed, deformations of the left testis were found in all treatment groups. Image analysis revealed a reduced seminiferous tubular area in the roosters exposed to the two highest doses of o,p'-DDT. Embryonic exposure to o,p'-DDT caused decreased comb weight and right-spur diameter, while EE2 only affected right-spur diameter. In conclusion, this study shows that embryonic exposure to estrogenic compounds can induce permanent effects in male birds. The effects of the two studied compounds were partly similar but o,p'-DDT also induced alterations not seen in the EE2-treated birds.  (+info)

The Red Wattle hog, or Red Wattle pig, is a breed of domestic pig originating in the United States. It is named for its red color and distinctive wattles or tassels, and is on the threatened list of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (ALBC). Red Wattle hogs are characterized by their red coat and distinctive wattles. They typically weigh 600-800 pounds (270-360 kg). Large specimens can reach 1,200 pounds (540 kg) in weight, 4 feet (120 cm) in height and 8 feet (240 cm) in length. They normally have 10 -15 piglets per litter. They grow fast, forage well, and are hardy, mild-tempered and resistant to disease. They are suitable for extensive management. The early history of the Red Wattle hog is not clear. The modern breed descends from animals found in East Texas in the late 1960s and early 1970s by H. C. Wengler, who cross-bred two wattled red sows with a Duroc boar to start the Wengler Red Waddle line. Other animals were found, also in East Texas, about 20 years later by Robert ...
COLON - If there is one thing that can draw a family together with a single purpose, its a bunch of old bones.. Old bones have sent the Ansel Wattles family to museums, prompted talks with paleontologists and caused a search for information about prehistoric creatures ever since the skeletal remains of a mastodon were discovered on the family farm.. Weve been studying up on mastodons, said Wattles, looking at the rows of weary brown bones arranged on boards in a building behind the familys home on Jackson Road. When Spring comes, were going back to the field and look for more bones.. Digs to date have turned up 10,000 year old teeth, leg bones, ribs, vertebrae and pieces of skull and tusk that once belonged to the elephant-like vegetarian.. It was a seven-inch-long tooth that started it all. Wattles found it last fall while combining in a field of soybeans..

TY - GEN. T1 - Evaluation of formaldehyde emission of pine and wattle tannin-based adhesives by gas chromatography. AU - Kim, S.. AU - Kim, H. J.. PY - 2004/4. Y1 - 2004/4. N2 - Formaldehyde emissions from wood particleboards bonded with pine and wattle tannin-based adhesives, using hardeners paraformaldehyde, hexamethylenetetramine and TN (tris(hydroxyl)nitromethan), were measured by the perforator method (DIN EN 120-European Committee For Standardization 1991). All particleboards made using the wattle tannin systems with the three different hardeners were satisfied grade E1, while in the case of pine tannin only the use of the hexamine hardener led to grade E1 being satisfied. This tendency was attributed to the curing mechanism of the hardener, the reactivity of the tannin molecule toward formaldehyde and the fast reactivity toward formaldehyde of pine tannin, due to the inclusion of phloroglucinolic A-rings within its molecular structure. Hexamine was effective at reducing formaldehyde ...

Comb type in poultry is controlled by two pairs of genes. They are the rose loci and the pea loci where P represents the gene for a rose comb and p the gene for single comb and P the gene for pea comb and p the gene for single comb. A single comb bird will carry the following genes (rrpp), a rose comb bird will carry (RRpp or Rrpp) a pea combed bird will carry (rrPP or rrPp) and a walnut combed bird will carry (RRPP or RrPP or RRPp or RrPp). If a bird carries at least one rose comb gene and one pea comb gene( R_P_) it will have a walnut comb. Further evidence to support the view that Australian Silkies (and possibly those shown overseas) are rose comb (R_pp) and not true walnut comb is provided by the size of the wattles and the absence of a breast ridge in our Silkies. Birds carrying two copies of the pea comb gene (PP) have very small wattles, birds carrying one copy of the pea comb gene (Pp) have a significant reduction in their wattle size and birds not carrying the pea comb gene (pp) have ...

Acacia pubescens, also known as the downy wattle, is an endangered species of wattle found in the Sydney Basin in central New South Wales. Much of its habitat has vanished with the growth of the city of Sydney. French botanist Étienne Pierre Ventenat described the downy wattle in 1803, in his Jardin de la Malmaison as Mimosa pubescens. It had been grown at the Château de Malmaison in the garden of the Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais. Robert Brown gave it its current name in 1813 in Hortus Kewensis. Common names include downy wattle and hairy-stemmed wattle. Derived from the Latin pubescens hairy, the species name relates to the hairy stems. George Bentham classified A. pubescens in the series Botrycephalae in his 1864 Flora Australiensis. Queensland botanist Les Pedley reclassified the species as Racosperma pubescens in 2003, when he proposed placing almost all Australian members of the genus into the new genus Racosperma. However, this name is treated as a synonym of its original name. ...

Its worth bearing in mind that if daytime temperatures stay below freezing then large combed birds or birds with large wattles can get a touch of frostbite and this is most uncomfortable. The most noticeable symptom of this is darkened /black areas on the comb or wattle. One of the preventative measures, other than keeping them inside (something that you may already be doing due to the Avian Influenza), is to apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the comb or wattle.

The present study illustrates several striking features of the genetic diversity present in domestic animals. Firstly, the R2 allele exemplifies the evolution of alleles by two or more consecutive mutations. Other examples include the Dominant white allele in pigs which involves a 450 kb duplication encompassing the entire KIT gene combined with a splice mutation in one of the duplicated copies [31] and black spotting in pigs which is determined by the combined effects of two mutations in MC1R, a missense mutation associated with black colour and a somatically unstable two base-pair insertion [32]. Secondly, it represents a new example of how structural rearrangements have contributed to rapid phenotypic evolution observed in domestic animals [33], [34]. The majority of the structural changes reported to be associated with phenotypic effects, like the effects of R1 and R2 on comb morphology, constitute cis-acting regulatory mutations. The altered configurations of regulatory elements on the ...

In this study, we performed a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial utilizing a supplementary diet containing HA-rich CCE to subjects with mild knee OA (mainly 1-2 of K/L grades). First, we assessed the potential of the oral administration of HA in the management of knee OA, since little information is available on its effect, although the intra-articular administration of HA has almost been established in knee OA. Second, in addition to the symptom-modifying (improving) effect of the oral administration of HA, we examined its potential for a structure-modifying (chondroprotective) effect. Third, we investigated the contribution of ET to the symptomatic and/or chondroprotective effects of the oral administration of HA. For this purpose, subgroup analyses were performed between ET-receivers and ET-unreceivers in the two different groups (active diet and placebo).. The present study revealed that the CCE-containing diet, used as an active diet, has the potential to relieve pain ...

Everything is done in a split second - in light of the lighting bubble on chin wattle longbeard sees its prey for few moments: it is pale and translucent phantom ray. At the same moment its bait faded off, wattle has moved downwards, and awful jaws have swung open. As if blades from sheath, from epithelium plicae in depth of mouth four acute fangs were straightened. They were stuck in cartilaginous skull of phantom ray and have pierced through it. One top fang has pierced rays brain. But the ray, like the majority of fishes, is remarkable in amazing survivability: while life left its body gradually, mighty fins began flapping like birds wings, and the translucent ghost has rushed off through depths of the ocean, carrying on its body the terrible rider seized its head. But it had last for some minutes only. Movements of fins gradually turned slower and slower, and then rays body has become soft and has hung lifelessly in thickness of water. But the saber-toothed longbeard has begun to move: it ...
A concerned member of the public found the koala above in her yard, and had the insight to feel she was not right as she had been in the same tree, a wattle over a week. She was monitored overnight and was not seen to move from the same branch, or to come down and move to a suitable eucalyptus tree to eat (wattle is not a tree koalas feed from.) When she was taken to the vet it was found she was in very poor body condition. Under anaesthetic it was discovered she had one of the largest ovarian cysts ever seen. Furthermore, she had advanced stages of renal failure and was actually slowly dying. Unfortunately the kindest thing to do was to euthanaise her. This goes to show how easily koalas can mask their symptoms. Although she may look fine to the inexperienced eye, their thick fur disguises the underlying poor condition of the body. This koala had not eaten in days, was very weak and was slowly dying.. Another sad story. A young male koala was seen to be not moving from the one tree for over ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Tapping mode atomic force microscopy of scleroglucan networks. AU - Vuppu, A. K.. AU - Garcia, Antonio. AU - Vernia, C.. PY - 1997/1/1. Y1 - 1997/1/1. N2 - Tapping mode Atomic Force Microscopy (TniAFM) has been used to study the fungal polysaccharide scleroglucan deposited from aqueous solution and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) onto a mica surface. The solutions from which the microscope samples were produced were prepared by first dissolving the solid scleroglucan in 0.1M NaOH, then neutralizing the solution with HCl, followed by dilution to the required concentration in either water or DMSO. It was found that from the aqueous solution described above, scleroglucan forms networks. Based on a comparison of the denatured-renatured and aqueous solution samples, nehvork formation is due to the imperfect registration bet\veen the chains fanning the triple helices. The relatively large stiffness of the scleroglucan triple helix is also assumed to contribute to the formation of the ...
Aboriginal Australians have traditionally harvested the seeds of some species, to be ground into flour and eaten as a paste or baked into a cake. The seeds contain as much as 25% more protein than common cereals, and they store well for long periods due to the hard seed coats.[21] In addition to utilizing the edible seed and gum, the people employed the timber for implements, weapons, fuel and musical instruments.[6] In ancient Egypt, an ointment made from the ground leaves of the plant was used to treat hemorrhoids.[23] A number of species, most notably A. mangium (hickory wattle), A. mearnsii (black wattle) and A. saligna (coojong), are economically important and are widely planted globally for wood products, tannin, firewood and fodder.[8] A. melanoxylon (blackwood) and A. aneura (mulga) supply some of the most attractive timbers in the genus.[6] Black wattle bark supported the tanning industries of several countries, and may supply tannins for production of waterproof adhesives.[6]. Acacia ...
the history, clinical signs and post mortem lesions are suggestive of the diagnosis. Confirmation of the species of acid fast bacteria should be undertaken by culture or genetic identification. The tuberculin test is available for poultry with avian tuberculin (0.05 - 0.1ml) being injected into one wattle (use a 1cm, 25g needle) and 48 hours later the prescence of swelling and heat being compared with the uninocculated wattle. This test will detect about 80% of positive birds and can miss birds with severe lesions. A stained antigen, whole blood agglutination test and an ELISA test are also available. As none of these tests will detect 100% of infected birds they will need to be used in planned monitoring programme. ...
The distinction between these groups is a necessary step in clinical assessment, as hard‐bodied tick bites are of greater medical significance. Wattle tick: Adult female, Adult male Wattle tick was used by pioneers in the Illawarra region of NSW to describe the tick causing paralysis, especially in sheep. • Some ticks go from larva to adult on one host animal. It attaches to horses, sheep, deer, water buffalo, marsupials, goats, feral pigs, dogs, cats and not usually attach to humans. There are around 70 species of ticks that live in Australia, but the paralysis tick is the one to watch out for. However, he has also found that, with some host species, ticks may congregate on other parts of the body, leading to an estimate that is off target. was identified in 41 % of the B. concolor ticks in Queensland and New South Wales, but not in any ticks from Victoria. The bite is usually not notable but may rarely lead to paralysis, allergic reactions and tick typhus. Directors. go. • Two host ...
In the lowlands of Mexico and Central America, the bullhorn acacia tree and a species of ant (Pseudomyrmex ferruginea) help each other to survive. This is known as a mutualistic relationship, where two or more species work together to provide what the other needs. The ant aggressively defends the acacia from plant-eating insects, neighboring plants, and disease-causing microorganisms. The acacia provides the ant with plenty of food and a place to live and raise its young.. The bullhorn acacia has odd-looking thorns that look like bull horns. The tiny ants cut entrance holes into the thorns, and thats where they care for their eggs and larvae. In three years, the population of ants can grow from the lone queen ant laying her first eggs to a tree teeming with 16,000 worker ants. The thorns are waterproof and hold in moisture, which protects the eggs and larvae during dry periods. Their sharp tips keep birds from going after the eggs inside.. In addition to providing housing, the acacia provides ...

Several techniques have been used in studying the structure of DNA, one of which is electron microscopy (EM). However, several issues on sample preservation have arisen with this technique due to its tedious sample preparation requirements. As a result, the atomic force microscope (AFM) was developed to overcome such shortcomings.
Use: This chickens unique v-shaped comb qualifies it as an ornamental breed, though it has great dual-purpose qualities as well. The rarely broody hens lay well and produce large, white eggs into winter months. History: The La Fleche chicken breed supposedly first appeared during the 5th century in Le Mans, France, according to the American Livestock Breeds Association. It was then taken to Mizeray before finally arriving in its namesake, La Fleche, which translates to the arrow in French. The name is also quite fitting for the breeds arrow-shaped comb. The American Poultry Associations American Standard of Perfection first recognized the La Fleche in 1874. Conformation: Close-fitting, black plumage has a slenderizing effect on the somewhat large La Fleche. Its body sits high atop dark-slate shanks. The earlobes are white, and the red wattles are uniform, long and well-rounded on males and smaller on females. The comb, consisting of two round horns located parallel to each other, is bright ...

Described by the author as a book about the weird diversity of sexual behavior, A Natural History of Sex explores how to look at life, how to analyze and speculate about why something is as it is and not otherwise. In a series of engaging essays, Forsyth considers a host of more specific questions, which run the gamut from the obscure and the bizarre to the familiar. Why do roosters crow and waggle their wattles? Why does it benefit the female human to remain inscrutable about her sexual cycle? Who instituted monogamy? Why would a male mite copulate with its mother? Why does the male bedbug drive its outlandish, formidable penis into the females abdomen? Forsyths highly observational mind ranges over the natural world, revealing the seemingly random patterns and consequences of animal sexual behavior. This classic reference is a must for anyone who has ever wondered just what it is that makes the world go round.

Part 1 of a 3-Part Series: Understanding the Challenges of Neck Rejuvenation. A Topdown View of Neck Aging. Even before were born, the genetic code that defines our anatomy has already dictated the delicate conditions that cause our necks to age faster than any other region of the body:. 1. Thin skin - The outer surface (or epidermis) of the neck is even is more fragile the top layer of facial skin.. 2. Oil shortage - The underlying layer of skin has no oil glands to help keep it moist and resilient.. 3. A fragile foundation - The necks skin rests on a fragile structure of delicate bones and a thin layer of muscles and other soft tissues that gradually wear away with age.. How Chicken Skin, Turkey Wattles, and Double Chins Happen. Depending on our genes and our behavior, our neck usually starts showing signs of wear-and-tear in our 30s. Over the subsequent decades, the impact of gravity, declining cell function, and environmental damage becomes increasingly visible. From our 50s onward, the ...

As you might imagine, it takes a pretty impressive bird to live up the name King anything, and the King Vulture does not disappoint. The King Vulture is arguably one of the worlds most beautiful vultures. It is covered in predominantly white feathers. Its white wings are highlighted with contrasting black feather tips, wing coverts and tail. Like other vulture species, the King Vulture has a mostly featherless head and neck. And, perhaps surprisingly, this is where the King Vultures true beauty lies. It has a white eye and red eye ring, an orange-red beak, and its head and neck are a virtual rainbow of colors such as orange, pink, yellow, purple, grey and black. It has a grayish ruff around its neck, which resembles a fluffy scarf. It has a bright yellow and orange-red caruncle, or wattle - a fleshy nob, above its cere - which usually doesnt form completely until the vulture is about 4 years old or so. Finally, its feet are a dull grey color. Juvenile King Vultures are mostly all black. The ...

At the present time, only a few Late Bronze Age sites in the French Mediterranean have yielded faunal data. The newly excavated site of La Motte I (Hérault, France) is exceptionally well preserved owing to its underwater context.

In the end, it is all about Calendrics (you thought I was going to say peace and good will, didnt you). The marking of the transition of winter to spring, summer to autumn, has a powerful hold on the European psyche as these events were literally matters of life and death. Astronomy was a serious business, and there wasnt much of a role for amateur astronomers in those days. Here in Australia, where these transitions arent as marked (or even identifiable, in the North, the seasons come as wet or dry) the solstice were less important, and the seasonal transitions were often marked by non-astronomical means such as flowering of certain plants. In most of Australia, unlike Europe, where the winter/spring transition arrives like a hammer blow (one day snow, the next day tulips, was my experience in Berlin), you will always find something flowering, and it is more a matter of what and how much that subtlely shades the seasons (the flowering of the wattles on the Yarra meant that the end of ...

Work commenced in the week before Easter, 2007. The Acacia I would guess would have been more than 15 metres. It had already been felled before I arrived, as part of a progamme to control the infestation damage in the Park caused by this species. The trunk sections , eight in total were between 1.5 to 2.0 metres long. At present I have begun working on three of the lengths. Photographs and a complete account of the work to follow.26.04.2007. Some notes on the tree - Australian Blackwood Acacia melanoxylon. Heartwood is golden to dark brown with a slight reddish tinge and regular dark chocolate brown splotches. The tree can grow to 25m and have a diameter of about 170cm. Also called Black Wattle. Fine texture, straight grain. Machining characteristics are good, but irregular sections should be machined with care and attention. Takes an excellent finish. Very similar to Koa. Typical Uses: Furniture, gunstocks, decorative veneers, cabintry, interior woodwork. Source Region: Australia.. ...

Santa Rosa Island (SRI), part of Channel Islands National Park off the coast of Santa Barbara, is home to thousands of native and endemic flora and fauna. While full of unique island endemics, Santa Rosa Island has an extensive ranching history. A sheep and cattle ranching business was operated from the mid-1800s until 1998 and a deer and elk hunting operation ran until 2011. Together these operations led to extensive ecological degradation of the island ecosystem as a result of the grazing caused by ungulates. In December of 2015, the Cloud Forest Restoration Project began with the goal of restoring the island ecosystem through the initiation of active restoration techniques on a key ridgeline of the island, Soledad Ridge. Active restoration techniques and treatments include the installation of wattles for erosion control, fog fences to harvest water from fog, and the establishment of native plants. This study focuses on the impact of three different restoration treatments on the germination and
