For 40 years Wayne Mollhoff conducted a personal bird census every January. He explains:"After having run several Breeding Bird Survey routes, and participated in several Christmas Bird Counts, I became curious to see what might be found on a winter count under the more tightly controlled parameters of a census, as contrasted with Christmas counts done with variable numbers of observers." The count was set up similarly to the USGS Breeding Bird Survey routes with 50 stops, one-half mile (800 meters) apart, all birds counted for 3 minutes, with birds counted at one stop not counted again at following stops. The census route ran from the northwest corner of Boone County, along Beaver Creek, to a point outside Albion. Counts began at local sunrise. A total of 73 species were recorded during the 40-year census. This paper records those results and offers observations on patterns of occurrence or absence and changes in frequency.A Nebraska Ornithologists' Union Occasional Paper

La vita in città comporta un maggior rischio di incidenti negli animali domestici, che negli ultimi anni sono aumentati. D'altra parte, il prolungamento dell'aspettativa di vita nei canini e nei felini ha portato a una maggiore incidenza di condizioni degenerative dovute all'età, come l'osteoartrite, tra le altre. Fortunatamente, i progressi nella sofisticazione dei metodi diagnostici complementari disponibili, come la risonanza magnetica, hanno gradualmente consentito una maggiore certezza nelle diagnosi e nelle terapie impiegate. Tutto ciò ha generato la necessità di nuove alternative terapeutiche complementari ai trattamenti tradizionali, e quindi la fisioterapia sta gradualmente diventando un'importante parte integrante del trattamento. Per l'operatore, l'obiettivo finale è solitamente la riabilitazione del paziente. Per la maggior parte dei proprietari, l'obiettivo è semplicemente quello di garantire al proprio animale la migliore qualità di vita possibile. È nostro obbligo, in quanto professionisti, esercitare la nostra professione per raggiungere questo obiettivo. È nata così l'esigenza di scrivere questo libro, la cui lettura sarà utile sia ai professionisti che agli studenti.

Life in cities implies a higher risk of accidents in pets, which have been increasing in the last years. On the other hand, the prolongation of life expectancy in canines and felines has caused a higher incidence of degenerative conditions due to age, such as osteoarthritis, among others. Fortunately, the advance in the sophistication of the available complementary diagnostic methods, such as magnetic resonance imaging, has gradually allowed a greater certainty in the diagnoses and therapeutics used. All this has generated the need for new therapeutic alternatives complementary to traditional treatments, and thus physiotherapy is gradually becoming an important integral part of the treatment. For the professional, the ultimate goal is usually the rehabilitation of the patient. The goal for most owners is simply for their pet to have the best quality of life. It is our obligation as professionals to practice our profession in pursuit of this goal. Thus arose the need to write this book, whose reading will be useful for both professionals and students.

Unsere Sprache ist geprägt von Redewendungen, Sprichwörtern, Begriffen und Assoziationen. Vieles davon bezieht sich auf die Tierwelt und wir benutzen es fast täglich. Wir aalen uns in der Sonne, fühlen uns manchmal hundeelend, können kauzig sein, stehen bei Problemen wie der Ochse vor dem Berg oder sind zickig.Den Tieren werden Verhaltensweisen zugeschrieben - stimmig oder nicht - die sich dann im Wortschatz wiederfinden. So die Naschkatze, der heulende Schlosshund oder der Killerwal. Hier im Buch werden die Redensarten und Begriffe mit ihrer Bedeutung und ihrem Hintergrund erklärt, denn schließlich sollten wir immer wissen, was wir da reden und ob es den Tieren auch gerecht wird. Informationen, Fakten und Geschichten über die entsprechenden Tiere kommen dabei nicht zu kurz.
