Abstract:
In this paper a list of the endoparasites described for the chilean frogs and toads is presented. Also it is indicated the locality of the hosts, prevalence and intensity of the infection. Nine species of parasites have been described; three trematodes: Gorgoderina chilensis in Rhinoderma darwinii, Gorgoderina valdiviensis in Caudiverbera caudiverbera, and Rudolphitrema chilensis in Eusophus roseus; two cestodes: Ophiotaenia noei in C. caudiverbera, and Baerietta chilensis in Batrachyla taeniata; three nematodes: Aplectana chilensis, and Cosmicerca chilensis in R. darwinii and Oswaldocruzia neghmei in Hylorina sylvatica, Eusophus miqueli, Eusophus vertebralis, and E. roseus, and one acanthocephala: Acanthocephalus caspanenis in Bufo spinulosus.

Soil Nutrient Analysis: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium
In this experiment, three soil macronutrients are chemically extracted, combined with color-based reagents, then analyzed using color to determine the nutrient concentration present in the soil sample.
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the main components of soil fertilizer. These methods isolate each nutrient from the soil into a solution that can be analyzed using turbidity and color to determine the...
Dissolved Oxygen in Surface Water
Dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements calculate the amount of gaseous oxygen dissolved in surface water, which is important to all oxygen-breathing life in river ecosystems, including fish species preferred for human consumption (e.g. bluegill and bass), as well as decomposer species critical to the recycling of biogeochemical materials in the system.
The oxygen dissolved in lakes, rivers, and oceans is crucial for the...
