SYDNEY Cheap Air Jordan 12 Retro For Sale , June 25 (Xinhua) -- Australian scientists have uncovered several new species of mammal in the remote forests of Papua New Guinea, local media reported Wednesday.


Team leader Euan Ritchie, an ecologist from Melbourne's Deakin University, said 40 cameras were installed in the Torricelli mountain range in the remote north-west of PNG to capture the first images of endangered tree kangaroos but in the process they have also discovered three new species of previously unidentified mammals.


"We certainly got an image of what we think is a new species of sort of small kangaroo, dorcopsulus wallaby. Think small dog-size wallaby if you like Cheap Air Jordan 11 Retro For Sale ," Ritchie told the ABC.


"There's also things like bandicoots and rodents that don't appear to be in any of the books that we know about.


"To actually confirm that of course we'll have to go back there one day and actually catch these animals and get them in the hand and take measurements and DNA samples, so that's for further down the track," said the scientist.


"But there's a whole range of species that are almost certain to be new to science and that are also new to that region."


Ritchie said PNG's forests were rich with wildlife and home to hundreds of new species.


"There's a whole range, probably hundreds and hundreds of species, not just in mammals but the birds Cheap Air Jordan 10 Retro For Sale , the insects, all sorts of species that are probably unknown to western science," he said.


"We've really got to preserve those habitats because they're really valuable."


LONDON, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- British industrial output slipped by 0.2 percent between November and December in 2014, worse than the market estimation consensus of a 0.1 percent increase Cheap Womens Air Jordan 1 Retro For Sale , data from the country's Office of National Statistics (ONS) showed on Tuesday.


Manufacturing output increased by merely 0.1 percent between the last two months of last year. The main contributors to the increase were computer, electronic and optical products, the manufacture of transport equipment, and the manufacture of food products, beverages & tobacco Cheap Womens Jordan 1 Retro For Sale , said ONS.


Data also showed that Britain's industrial output increased by 0.1 percent between the third and fourth quarter of 2014. Between 2013 and 2014, however, industrial output grew by 1.4 percent, with manufacturing output increasing by 2.7 percent.


Currently, the country's industrial production is still 10.5 percent below its pre-recession peak in the first quarter of 2008 Cheap Mens Air Jordan 1 Retro For Sale , while manufacturing is 5.1 percent below its peak, said ONS.


Though the latest data disappoints economists here, most of them believe that the oil price slump since last summer would boost production.


Paul Hollingsworth, UK economist at Capital Economics, said in a note: "The fall in oil prices looks set to provide some timely stimulus to the sector's recovery soon."


Martin Beck Cheap Mens Jordan 1 Retro For Sale , senior economic adviser to the independent forecasting group EY Item Club, also commented: "Looking ahead, 2015 offers the prospect of an improving performance for manufacturing supported by the collapse in the oil price."


BRASILIA, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- The common Culex mosquito is able to transmit the harmful Zika virus, Brazilian scientists have discovered Cheap Mens Air Jordan 1 Retro Flyknit For Sale , according to a study published on Wednesday.


Scientists at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) in the northeast state of Pernambuco (noreste) have shown the virus can reach the insect's salivary gland, "which is believed to indicate that Culex mosquitoes may be one of the vectors of the Zika virus," Agencia Brasil said.


Until now it was believed that the virus was spread by the Aedes Aegypti, a less common variety of mosquito that also carries the diseases dengue and chikungunya.


The team's findings were published by the Nature group in its specialized magazine "Emerging microbes and infections."
