Article Synopsis
- In 2010, a lead poisoning outbreak in northwestern Nigeria, linked to artisanal gold processing, resulted in the deaths of around 400 young children and affected thousands.
- The assessment aimed to identify lead sources, evaluate health impacts on vulnerable populations, and explore potential global risks related to similar mining practices.
- Findings showed severe contamination from mining activities, with significant exposure to lead and other toxicants primarily through soil ingestion and dust, highlighting the urgent need for public health interventions in affected communities.
Green anoles (Anolis carolinensis) possess two sexually dimorphic neuromuscular systems involved in reproductive behaviors. One controls extension of a red throat fan (dewlap), which males employ during courtship, and the other controls intromission of copulatory organs (hemipenes). Although seasonal changes in circulating androgens mediate both courtship and copulatory behaviors, testosterone has differential effects on the underlying neuromuscular morphology.
