The Cyprinidae fish’s gills are considered the permanent habitat for Dactylogyrids spp., common monogenean ectoparasites. This study aims to investigate the impact of monthly aquatic ecological dynamics on the diversity of Dactylogyrus. Moreover, the prevalence and species richness were correlated as well. A total of 140 fishes, representing 12 species from the family Cyprinidae, were collected from the Lesser Zab River, located in the northeast of Altuon-Kopri town, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. The study was conducted from August 2022 to July 2023. The collected fishes included: Acanthobrama marmid (37), Alburnus mossulensis (9), Barbus (B.) sharpey (5), Capoeta (C.) damascina (7), C. umbla (3), Carasobarbus luteus (10), Carassus (C.) auratus (13), C. carassus (3), Chondrostoma regium (18), Cyprinion macrostomum (5), Cyprinus carpio (26) and Luciobarbus xanthopterus (4). They were inspected weekly for diversity variation and richness of Dactylogyridis with different aquatic parameters such as pH, temperature, total dissolved salts (TDS) and electrical conductivity (EC). The collected data revealed the presence of various Dactylogyridis species with different prevalence and species richness. Monthly variations revealed that the highest species richness occurslowermost the lowermostoccurred in March 2023, and the lowest was observed in September 2022. According to aquatic parameters, only water temperature shows a significant negative correlation according to the species richness (p<0.05). In contrast, the other parameters show no significant correlation in accordance to the different months, monthly aquatic mean level of pH, TDS and EC were not correlated with species richness and prevalence of Dactylogyridis spp.
鲤科鱼类的鳃被认为是常见的单系外寄生虫 Dactylogyrids spp.的永久栖息地。本研究旨在探讨每月水生生态动态对 Dactylogyrus 多样性的影响。此外,其流行率与物种丰富度也存在相关性。本研究从位于伊拉克库尔德斯坦地区 Altuon-Kopri 镇东北部的小扎卜河(Lesser Zab River)采集了 140 尾鱼类,代表鲤科 12 个物种。研究时间为 2022 年 8 月至 2023 年 7 月。采集的鱼类包括Acanthobrama marmid (37)、Alburnus mossulensis (9)、Barbus (B.) sharpey (5)、Capoeta (C.) damascina (7)、C. umbla (3)、Carasobarbus luteus (10)、Carassus (C.) auratus (13)、Carasobarbus luteus (10)auratus (13)、C. carassus (3)、Chondrostoma regium (18)、Cyprinion macrostomum (5)、Cyprinus carpio (26) 和 Luciobarbus xanthopterus (4)。每周对这些水域进行一次检查,以了解 Dactylogyridis 的多样性变化和丰富程度与 pH 值、温度、总溶解盐(TDS)和导电率(EC)等不同水生参数的关系。收集到的数据显示,存在不同的 Dactylogyridis 种类,其流行率和物种丰富度也各不相同。月度变化显示,物种丰富度最高出现在 2023 年 3 月,最低出现在 2022 年 9 月。从水生参数来看,只有水温与物种丰富度呈显著负相关(p<0.05)。相比之下,其他参数与不同月份没有明显的相关性,pH 值、TDS 和 EC 的月水生平均水平与物种丰富度和 Dactylogyridis spp.

The study analyzed farmers' level of adoption and perception of phosphorus based fertilizers for cowpea production in Katsina state, Nigeria. A total of 153 cowpea farmers were sampled using a multi-stage sampling technique. Primary data was utilized in the study. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire by trained enumerators. Descriptive statistics, Kendalls’ coefficient of concordance and acceptability index were employed for data analysis. The results showed that the mean age for cowpea farmers was 41 years. Distribution of the respondents by gender reveals that 85.6% were males and the remaining 14.4% were females. The result of farmers’ perception of phosphorus-based fertilizer used shows a moderate agreement of 0.30 which indicates different perceptions among respondents. The study further revealed that the acceptability index of 6.54% was very alarming because cowpea farmers committed a small portion of their farmland toward adopting the technology. The level of knowledge of the cowpea farmers on phosphorus based fertilizers was very low, leading to a very low level of acceptance of phosphorus fertilizers in the study area. It was recommended that be made available and affordable to the cowpea farmers as this will increase the rate of technology adoption in the study area.
本研究分析了尼日利亚卡齐纳州农民在豇豆生产中采用磷基化肥的水平和对磷基化肥的看法。研究采用多阶段抽样技术,共抽取了 153 位豇豆种植农。研究采用了原始数据。数据由经过培训的调查员使用结构化问卷收集。数据分析采用了描述性统计、Kendalls 一致系数和可接受性指数。结果显示,豇豆种植农的平均年龄为 41 岁。受访者的性别分布显示,85.6%为男性,其余 14.4%为女性。农民对所使用磷基化肥的认知结果显示出 0.30 的中度一致,这表明受访者对磷基化肥有不同的认知。研究进一步显示,6.54% 的可接受性指数非常令人担忧,因为豇豆种植农只将一小部分农田用于采用该技术。豇豆种植者对磷肥的了解程度很低,导致研究地区对磷肥的接受程度很低。建议向豇豆种植农提供他们负担得起的磷肥,因为这将提高研究地区的技术采用率。

Pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus is a worldwide severe pests of pulse grains in the storage conditions. Considering the negative consequences of synthetic chemicals used against C. maculatus, effectiveness of various high temperatures were evaluated against it under lab conditions. The Classic® 1080 series laboratory oven (HT Company (Ilford) Ltd. UK) was used to get the desired temperatures of 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60ºC. Five pairs of freshly emerged C. maculatus adults were placed with twenty cowpea seeds in a petri dish  were used for each temperature regime for five exposure times i.e., 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes. Data on adult mortality was observed after 24-hours. Results confirmed the effective of high temperatures against adult C. maculatus as 100% mortality of the targeted adults was recorded within 10 minutes at 60°C, whereas it took 40- and 50-minutes to kill 100% of the adults at 55 and 50°C, respectively. The LT50 values of required temperature against C. maculatus at various exposure timings ranged between 43.544°C at 50 minutes exposure to 48.994°C at 10 minutes exposure, whereas overall minimum and maximum fiducial limits for LT50 temperatures were ranged between 42.845 to 49.655°C. No negative impact of high temperatures was also recorded on the germination percentage of cowpea seeds as germination success recorded at various high temperatures was not significantly different from the control cowpea seeds.
脉冲甲虫(Callosobruchus maculatus)是世界性的脉冲粮食储藏条件下的严重害虫。考虑到合成化学品对黄斑弧菌的负面影响,在实验室条件下评估了各种高温对黄斑弧菌的效果。经典®1080系列实验室烤箱(HT公司(Ilford) Ltd.)使用英国)来获得所需的温度为40、45、50、55和60ºC。将5对新鲜出芽的黄斑锥虫成虫与20粒豇豆种子一起置于培养皿中,在每个温度条件下分别暴露10、20、30、40和50分钟。24小时后观察成人死亡率数据。结果证实了高温对黄斑弧菌成虫的有效性,在60°C条件下,10分钟内目标成虫死亡率为100%,而在55°C和50°C条件下,目标成虫死亡率分别为40和50分钟。在不同的暴露时间下,对C. maculatus所需温度的LT50值范围在暴露50分钟的43.544°C到暴露10分钟的48.994°C之间,而LT50温度的总体最小和最大基准极限范围在42.845°C到49.655°C之间。高温处理对豇豆种子的发芽率也没有负面影响,不同温度下的种子发芽率与对照没有显著差异。

Colchicine is one of the important aqueous solutions that has been used to induce mutation or ploidy in many plant species long ago. However, its proper concentrations plays a vital role, increased or inappropriate concentrations may cause mortality, stunted growth, morphological deformation, etc. in plant species. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the different colchicine concentrations on the growth and development of gladiolus corms. Gladiolus corms were treated with 0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% concentrations for 24 hours. Colchicine toxicity was evaluated during the early growth stage showed a higher concentration of 0.6% significantly reduced corm survival (47%) and caused a 51.9% survival reduction over control. In terms of growth parameters, all concentrations of colchicine reduced plant height with a number of leaves along with inducing different forms of morphological abnormalities and chlorophyll mutants. To optimize the dose for successful ploidy induction, LD30 and LD50 on mortality rate through an analysis were calculated to be 0.31% and 0.57% whereas GR50 based on plant height and the number of leaves reduction was found to be 0.17% and 0.34%. Hence, the results from this study could be used in the future for further breeding programs by reducing the genotoxicity of colchicine on gladiolus.
秋水仙碱是一种重要的诱导植物突变或倍性的水溶液。但其适当的浓度起着至关重要的作用,浓度过高或不适当可能导致植物物种死亡、生长发育迟缓、形态变形等。因此,本研究旨在探讨不同秋水仙碱浓度对剑兰球茎生长发育的影响。以0.2%、0.4%和0.6%的浓度处理剑兰球茎24小时。生长早期秋水仙碱毒性评价显示,浓度较高的0.6%显著降低球茎成活率(47%),比对照降低51.9%。在生长参数方面,所有浓度的秋水仙碱都降低了植株的高度和叶片数量,并诱导了不同形式的形态异常和叶绿素突变。为获得最佳诱导剂量,通过分析计算出植株死亡率的LD30和LD50分别为0.31%和0.57%,而基于株高和叶片减数的GR50分别为0.17%和0.34%。因此,本研究结果可用于进一步的育种计划,以降低秋水仙碱对剑兰的遗传毒性。

Agroforestry is a viable land-use option of salt affected soils which ensure the remunerative use of this valuable resource. A two years pot study was carried out to evaluate salinity tolerance of tamarind fruit plant against different levels of salinity and sodicity. Treatments included were: T1 = ECe, 1.17 dS m-1 + SAR, 10.87, T2 = ECe, 6 dS m-1 + SAR, 25, T3 = ECe, 6 dS m-1 + SAR, 35, T4 = ECe, 6 dS m-1 + SAR, 45, T5 = ECe, 8 dS m-1 + SAR, 25, T6 = ECe, 8 dS m-1 + SAR, 35, T7 = ECe, 8 dS m-1 + SAR, 45, T8 = ECe, 10 dS m-1 + SAR, 25, T9 = ECe, 10 dS m-1 + SAR, 35, T10 = ECe, 10 dS m-1 + SAR, 45. Results revealed that no plant was survived at higher level of salinity (10 dS m-1) and sodicity (SAR 45) and complete cessation and mortality was observed in this treatment. Data of survived plants at the end of study showed that salinity and sodicity arrested the growth variables of tamarind seedlings and increasing levels of salinity-sodicity led a reduction of 3.52% to 82.47% in plant height, 1.53% to 84.61% in stem girth, 5.63% to 88.26% in number of leaves and 7.44 to 90.77 in number of branches over control (non-stress) treatment. Therefore, it was concluded that tamarind seedling can withstand and survive at salinity and sodicity level of 10 dS m-1 and SAR 35. 
农林业是受盐影响土壤的一种可行的土地利用办法,可确保对这一宝贵资源的有益利用。通过两年盆栽试验,评价了罗望子植株对不同盐度和碱度的耐盐性。治疗方法包括:T1 = ECe dS 1.17 m - 1 + SAR, 10.87, T2 = ECe 6 dS m - 1 + SAR, 25日,T3 = ECe 6 dS m - 1 + SAR, 35岁,T4 = ECe 6 dS m - 1 + SAR, 45岁的T5 = ECe, 8 d m - 1 + SAR, 25日,T6 = ECe, 8 d m - 1 + SAR, 35岁的T7 = ECe, 8 d m - 1 + SAR, 45岁,T8 = ECe、10 dS m - 1 + SAR, 25日,T9 = ECe 10 dS m - 1 + SAR, 35岁的T10 = ECe 10 dS m - 1 + SAR, 45。结果表明,在更高的盐度(10 dS - m-1)和碱度(SAR - 45)条件下,没有植株存活,植株完全停止生长并死亡。研究结束时成活植株的数据表明,盐度和碱度抑制了罗望子幼苗的生长变量,与对照(非胁迫)处理相比,盐度和碱度的升高导致罗望子株高降低3.52% ~ 82.47%,茎长降低1.53% ~ 84.61%,叶片数降低5.63% ~ 88.26%,分枝数降低7.44% ~ 90.77%。综上所述,罗望子幼苗在10 dS - m-1的盐碱度和35的盐碱度下均能耐受并存活。

Sowing time has a significant role in minimizing insect pest damage by disrupting synchronization between host plant and insect life cycle. The effect of different times of sowing viz. April, May and June designated as early, intermediate and late was determined on the ability of four cotton genotypes (NIA-30, NIA-88, NIA-98 and Sadori) to resist sucking insect pests and bollworms. Cotton genotypes were sown on the 15th of each month. The results showed that the planting time had pronounced effect on the infestation of insect pests. April sown cotton had a higher infestation of jassid compared to May and June sown cotton. The occurrence of thrips was recorded highest in the May sowing followed by April. Infestation of whiteflies and spotted bollworm was negligible on all the genotypes and were below the economic threshold levels during the entire period of observation. Furthermore, April sown cotton showed the higher infestation of spotted and pink bollworms. Among the tested genotypes in different sowing times, they exhibited similarity in insect pest abundance, except for jassid population which significantly differed in May sown genotypes. Concerning yield, April sowing yielded the most at 2107.7 kg/ha, followed by May (1917.6 kg/ha) and June (801.7 kg/ha). Notably, NIA-88 followed by Sadori consistently yielded the highest across all sowing times compared to the other two genotypes. This study indicates that sowing of cotton varieties in April is recommended for achieving higher yields.
播种时间通过破坏寄主植物和昆虫生命周期的同步,在减少害虫危害方面发挥着重要作用。以4、5、6月为早、中、晚播期,研究了不同播期对4个棉花基因型(NIA-30、NIA-88、NIA-98和Sadori)抗吸虫和棉铃虫能力的影响。每个月15日播种棉花基因型。结果表明,种植时间对害虫的发生有明显的影响。与5月和6月播种的棉花相比,4月播种的棉花茉莉侵染率较高。蓟马的发生率在5月播种时最高,其次是4月。在所有基因型中,粉虱和斑点棉铃虫的侵染均可忽略不计,在整个观察期内均低于经济阈值水平。此外,4月播种棉铃虫侵染率较高。在不同播期的试验基因型中,除茉莉种群在5月播期的基因型差异显著外,其余基因型在害虫丰度上均具有相似性。产量方面,4月播种产量最高,为2107.7公斤/公顷,其次是5月(1917.6公斤/公顷)和6月(801.7公斤/公顷)。值得注意的是,与其他两个基因型相比,NIA-88之后的Sadori在所有播种期的产量都是最高的。本研究表明,建议棉花品种在4月份播种,以获得较高的产量。

The effect of different times of sowing viz. April, May and June designated as early, intermediate and late was determined on the ability of four cotton genotypes (NIA-30, NIA-88, NIA-98 and Sadori) to resist sucking insect pests and bollworms. Cotton genotypes were sown on the 15th of each month. The results showed that the planting time had pronounced effect on the infestation of insect pests. April sown cotton had a higher infestation of jassid compared to May and June sown cotton. The occurrence of thrips was recorded highest in the May sowing followed by April. Infestation of whiteflies and spotted bollworm was negligible on all the genotypes and were below the economic threshold levels during the entire period of observation. Furthermore, April sown cotton showed the higher infestation of spotted and pink bollworms. Among the tested genotypes in different sowing times, they exhibited similarity in insect pest abundance, except for jassid population which significantly differed in May sown genotypes. Concerning yield, April sowing yielded the most at 2107.7 kg/ha, followed by May (1917.6 kg/ha) and June (801.7 kg/ha).

There is a considerable gap between demand and supply of edible oil in Pakistan. The Government fills the gap by importing edible oils from other countries, costing billions of dollars. Efforts to boost oilseed crop yields at the federal and provincial levels have remained largely unsuccessful. This study compares the profitability of oilseed crops with its competing crops to find out factors that will aid in the sustainable adoption of oilseed crops. Primary Data were collected from 120 randomly selected farmers. Among 120 farmers, 60 were those growing oilseed crops, and rest were those growing crops other than oilseed crops. The determinants impacting the sustainable adoption of oilseed crops were identified using logistic regression. It was found that education, farming experience, subsidy, availability of quality seed and quality pesticides, availability of loans, and water availability issue were the factors that have a positive impact on oilseed crops adoption. Low-market-price, high-cost-of-fertilizer were the factors that decreased the adoption of oilseed crops.
在巴基斯坦,食用油的需求和供应之间存在相当大的差距。政府通过从其他国家进口食用油来填补缺口,花费了数十亿美元。联邦和省级政府提高油籽作物产量的努力基本上仍未取得成功。本研究比较了油籽作物与其竞争作物的盈利能力,以找出有助于油籽作物可持续采用的因素。主要数据收集自随机抽取的120名农民。在120名农民中,种植油籽作物的有60人,其余为种植油籽以外作物的农民。使用逻辑回归确定了影响油籽作物可持续种植的决定因素。研究发现,教育、农业经验、补贴、优质种子和优质农药的可获得性、贷款的可获得性和水资源的可获得性是影响油籽作物采用率的主要因素。低市场价格,高成本的肥料是减少采用油籽作物的因素。

Agonistic relationships in plant-pollinator assemblages are poorly understood as compared to mutualistic relationships. We estimated the floral resource competition in terms of seasonal trophic niche breadth and overlap among the guild of six most frequent bee species i.e., Ceratina smaragdula, Lasioglossum sp., Ceylalictus sp., Halictus sp., Apis dorsata and Apis florea in Bahawalpur (Punjab), Pakistan. The species exhibiting the maximum niche breadth had the minimum abundance in spring and summer seasons. The niche breadth of two solitary bees i.e., Lasioglossum sp. and C. smaragdula was higher than the social A. florae but they were much less abundant. Ceratina smaragdula showed the maximum pair-wise niche overlap with A. florea and Halictus sp. in spring and with Ceylalictus sp. in summer. Apis florea and A. dorsata had the maximum pair-wise niche overlap in both the autumn and winter seasons. No significant pair-wise niche overlap and interspecific competition was observed among all the six species in any season. This shows that pollination system in arid Bahawalpur is stable and less prone to competition and species loss.
与互惠关系相比,植物-传粉者组合中的拮抗关系了解甚少。本文从季节营养生态位宽度和重叠度的角度估算了巴基斯坦巴哈瓦尔普尔地区6种最常见蜜蜂(Ceratina smaragdula、Lasioglossum sp.、Ceylalictus sp.、Halictus sp.、Apis dorsata和Apis florea)种群间的花卉资源竞争。生态位宽度最大的物种在春夏季丰度最小。孑居蜜蜂Lasioglossum sp.和smaragdula .的生态位宽度高于群居蜜蜂,但数量远低于群居蜜蜂。春、夏、秋角蒿与花花蒿和小叶蒿的生态位重叠最大。花Apis和冬花A. dorsata在秋季和冬季的成对生态位重叠最大。在任何季节,6种间均未发现明显的生态位重叠和种间竞争。这表明巴哈瓦尔普尔干旱地区的授粉系统稳定,不易发生竞争和物种损失。

Late night eating is characterized by eating after 10 pm or eating 2 hours before sleep at least 3 times per week, it is also characterized by the number of late-night eating episodes and the proportion of total daily calories consumed during the eating episode. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between late-night eating habits and various health issues among individuals from multiple universities in Pakistan. Data was collected from over 15 universities, including the University of Lahore, Comsats University, Bahria University, Punjab University, Karachi University, and de Montmorency College of Dentistry. A non-probability convenient sampling technique was employed to select more than 150 participants for data collection. Participants were evaluated using a pre-tested questionnaire. Dietary choices, circadian rhythms, psychological stress, and social influences are just a few of the things that have an impact on late-night eating habits and the health problems that go along with them. The results of the study indicated that a significant proportion of the participants experienced health issues as a result of their late-night eating habits. Among the observed health issues, headache was the most prevalent, affecting 75% of the participants, followed by sleep disorders (66%), depression (63%), and acidity (59%). In contrast, a lower percentage of individuals reported issues such as diarrhea (29%), vomiting (25%), and piles (21%). For late night eating, majority of the participants approximately 95 % were preferring consuming meals, fried foods and confectionary items for late night snacking and the least consumption was observed of corn and popcorn that accounted for 60 %.and 57 % respectively. It was concluded that late night eating is associated with many digestive, metabolic and psychological issues that have a negative impact on overall health of an individual. The increase in frequency and size of late-night eating in adolescence and adulthood will lead them towards an unhealthy aging.
深夜进食的特征是每周至少3次在晚上10点以后进食或睡前2小时进食,还表现为深夜进食的次数和进食期间摄入的总热量的比例。这项横断面研究旨在调查来自巴基斯坦多所大学的个人深夜饮食习惯与各种健康问题之间的关系。数据收集自超过15所大学,包括拉合尔大学、Comsats大学、巴利亚大学、旁遮普大学、卡拉奇大学和德蒙莫朗西牙科学院。采用非概率方便抽样技术,选取150余名参与者进行数据收集。参与者使用预先测试的问卷进行评估。饮食选择、昼夜节律、心理压力和社会影响只是影响深夜饮食习惯和随之而来的健康问题的一小部分。研究结果表明,很大一部分参与者由于他们的深夜饮食习惯而出现了健康问题。在观察到的健康问题中,头痛是最普遍的,影响了75%的参与者,其次是睡眠障碍(66%),抑郁(63%)和酸性(59%)。相比之下,报告腹泻(29%)、呕吐(25%)和痔疮(21%)等问题的个人比例较低。对于深夜进食,大多数参与者大约95%的人更喜欢吃正餐、油炸食品和糖果作为深夜零食,而玉米和爆米花的消费量最少,占60%。分别为57%。结论是,深夜进食与许多消化、代谢和心理问题有关,对个人的整体健康产生负面影响。青春期和成年期深夜进食的频率和规模的增加将导致他们走向不健康的衰老。

Birds and Rodents can cause significant damage to grain stores in developing countries, affecting the food security and income of small-holder farmers. Methods for assessing storage losses by rodents under small-holder conditions will help farmers and policy makers understand the impact rodents may have on food security, nutrition, and health. The present study aimed to determine the different damage patterns by birds and rodents in grain storage in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. The study was conducted between August 2021 and February 2022. Twelve grain stores were selected for the observations based on environmental conditions and storage types. Damage patterns were observed through scan sampling by directly observing the damage patterns in terms of grain spreading, fecal contamination, hair contamination, packaging injuries, and feather presence. For loss assessment, the Bowls with known quantities (about 2kg) of grains were placed within grain storage and periodically monitored for weight loss, fecal contamination, and percentage of birds and rodent- damaged grains. The bowels were weighted before and after rodents or bird attack and difference in weight were used to calculate percentages losses. Grain spreading was observed as main damage pattern by birds. Its percentage was measured as 68%, followed by fecal droppings (14%), packaging injuries (13%), and feather presence (5%). Rodents main damage pattern was also grain spreading (47%), followed by packaging injuries (23%), fecal droppings (20%), and presence of hair (10%). Estimates of grain losses in the absence of measures were 23.1% annually. These losses were reduced when rodent control was implemented. So, by implementing control methods and propers storage strategies and using good quality packaging material the rodents and birds losses can be reduced.
鸟类和啮齿动物会对发展中国家的粮库造成严重破坏,影响小农的粮食安全和收入。评估小农条件下啮齿动物储存损失的方法将有助于农民和决策者了解啮齿动物可能对粮食安全、营养和健康造成的影响。本研究旨在确定鸟类和啮齿动物对巴基斯坦巴哈瓦尔布尔地区粮食仓库的不同破坏模式。该研究于2021年8月至2022年2月进行。根据环境条件和储粮类型选择12个储粮库进行观测。通过扫描取样,直接观察颗粒扩散、粪便污染、毛发污染、包装损伤和羽毛存在等损伤模式,观察损伤模式。为了评估损失,将装有已知数量(约2公斤)谷物的碗放置在谷物储存库中,并定期监测体重损失、粪便污染以及鸟类和啮齿动物损坏谷物的百分比。在啮齿动物或鸟类袭击前后对肠道进行称重,并用体重差来计算损失百分比。鸟类的主要危害方式是撒播粮食。其比例为68%,其次是粪便(14%)、包装损伤(13%)和羽毛残留(5%)。啮齿动物的主要伤害方式也是谷物散布(47%),其次是包装伤害(23%)、粪便伤害(20%)和毛发伤害(10%)。据估计,在不采取措施的情况下,粮食损失每年为23.1%。在实施灭鼠措施后,这些损失有所减少。因此,通过实施控制措施和适当的储存策略以及使用优质的包装材料,可以减少啮齿动物和鸟类的损失。
