SOME FACTORS INFLUENCING THE FREQUENCY OF BARK LICHENS IN NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA

This study aimed at analysing perceived change acceptance and change rejection in banks in North Central Nigeria. The study used review strategy and survey strategy. Staff of Systematic Important Banks (SIBs) was the object of interest. For the sample size, given the population for each state (Benue- 168 and Kogi- 202) in the North Central, Sallant and Dillman’s method was used to arrive at 189. Data were analysed using descriptive analytical techniques. Finding showed that employees’ change rejection factors such as perceived change outcomes and change methods are the strongest factors in Benue State while bank employees are likely to reject organizational change on the basis of change type or methods in Kogi State. Finding further showed that the attitude of employees towards change is the strongest factors influencing acceptance of organizational change in Benue State, and that change based on complexity is the strongest factors influencing acceptance of organizational change in banks in Kogi State. The study concluded that employees’ change resistance or rejection is subject to numerous factors. The study recommended that bank leaders should monitor change outcomes and change methods in Benue State, and that change type or methods should be given strong attention in Kogi State.

Mass and eighth primary growth of nestling Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) were studied in north central Saskatchewan from 1980 to 1982. There were no significant differences among years for any measure of growth. Clutch size and the relative timing of hatching within each breeding season also had no effect on growth. In broods of two young, second-hatched chicks (C2) grew slower than first-hatched chicks (C1) if the hatching interval between siblings was 2 days rather than 1 day. As both hatching asynchrony and the degree of suppressed growth of C2 were independent of absolute growth rates (and hence presumably food supply), it was unlikely that individual females modified the degree of asynchrony in any adaptive manner. Nestlings raised in an area predicted to have high fish (prey) productivity, given the morphology and chemistry of the lake, grew faster than chicks in an area of lower productivity. Growth rate was significantly correlated with the total mass of prey, but not the number of prey items, delivered to the nests by the parents.
