The white machín, Cebus albifrons, is a neotropical primate belonging to the Family Cebidae, Subfamily Cebinae. The aim of this study was to determine the ultrasound characteristics and the dimensions of the abdominal organs of the white-fronted capuchin in captivity. It was used four intact adult male specimens in captivity at the Huachipa Zoo and three captive specimens at the Parque de las Leyendas Board of Trustees Zoo (an adult male castrated, an adult female and a juvenile male), both institutions in the city of Lima, Peru. The specimens fasted for six hours; then physical and chemical restraint was carried out using the immobilization protocol established by each zoo. The Pie Medical 100 Falco Vet® ultrasound equipment with 7.5 MHz multifrequential convex transducer and ESAOTE MyLab One Vet with the 4-9 MHz SC312 microconvex transducer were used. The ultrasound images are displa...

Las actividades humanas están produciendo un exceso de gases de efecto invernadero que están potencialmente calentando el clima de la tierra. En tanto que los ecosistemas forestales están almacenando el Carbono de la atmósfera en la biomasa y el suelo. La siguiente investigación, “Evaluación del incremento volumétrico de cinco especies forestales y su almacenamiento de captura de carbono, Centro de Producción e Investigación Pabloyacu, Moyobamba – 2018”, tuvo como objetivo general la evaluación del incremento volumétrico de cinco especies forestales y su almacenamiento de captura de carbono; Eucalipto torrelliana, Eucalipto saligna, Bolaina, Pino chuncho y Tornillo, especies encontradas, en la plantación forestal perteneciente al Centro de Investigación se desarrolló metodológicamente en dos fases, la fase de campo, que se desarrolló por etapas, la etapa de identifi...
