Species composition and diversity in a natural and reforested mangrove forests in Panguil Bay, Mindanao, Philippines

Mangroves are recognized as one of the richest ecosystems worldwide. Despite their importance and the efforts to preserve and protect these ecosystems, threats are still prevalent. Thus, in order to contribute in the preservation and protection of the remaining mangrove ecosystems, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the species composition and diversity […]

Evaluation of the diversity and characterization of the distribution of the arborescent species of the town of Daloa (Cental-Western of Côte d’Ivoire)

In Côte d’Ivoire, no study on the urban flora took into account the types of urban forestry planning. However, certain reasoned types of planning constitute zones refuge for woody numerous species. The objective of this study is to evaluate diversity and to characterize distribution of the arborescent species in the types of town-planning of Daloa. […]

Impact of anthropogenic disturbance on Anurans habitat and species richness in Silago, Southern Leyte, Philippines

Studying the response of anurans to anthropogenic disturbance can be very useful in determining the potentiality of this species as bio-indicator. The study was conducted to assess and describe the habitat condition (i.e., microclimatic, microhabitat, and vegetation structures) and species richness of anurans as affected by the degree of disturbance due to anthropogenic activities in […]

Anurans species diversity and composition along the elevational gradient of the Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park, Negros Oriental, Philippines

Different habitat structures occupies different composition of anurans species which can be useful in determining their specific habitat requirements and preferences. The study assessed anurans species composition and diversity along an elevational gradient of Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park, Negros Oriental, Philippines. A line transect (1km) was used in the study using opportunistic approach in […]

Leaf anatomical adaptation of some spontaneous species of the Sahara (El Oued region, Algeria)

This study aimed to show the correlation between anatomical and physiological response and the adaptation in the event of drought and salinity of six Saharan spontaneous species in the region of El Oued (Algeria) these plants are Zygophyllum album L, Limoniastrum guyonianum, Sueda fructicosa, Anabasis articulate, Thymelea microphylla and Halocnemumstrobilaceum. The anatomical structure of this […]

Plant species diversity and the role of soil nutrients in the semiarid area of District Bannu, KPK, Pakistan

Communities are the result of species interactions for the resources. Plant species compete for the resources above and below the soil and ameliorate the environment for neighboring species. In this way superior competitor eliminate the inferior competitive species and affect the diversity of an area. As a result those species sustain which are well adapted […]

Morphological study of three native Odonata species from Basrah Governorate – South of Iraq

The morphological description was done to identify three native species belonging to the family Libellulidae (Odonata: Anisoptera) from Basrah Governorate – South of Iraq, to consider as native species for the first time. The Specimens were collected from three different regions, during the period from December 2017 to November 2018. The diagnostic features of the […]

Investigation of different biochemical parameters in three economical important fish species captured from ponds of district Kashmore, Sindh, Pakistan

The aim of present study was to evaluate the biochemical composition in gills, liver and muscle of different fish species like Catla catla, Cirrhinus mrigala and Labeo rohita of different weight captured from ponds of Kashmore district. In this regard valuable biochemical factors were evaluated such as crude protein, % of fat and % of […]

Genetic relationships to five species of Acacia (Fabaceae) in Iraq using PCR-Rapd Technique

The aim of this study is to assess the genetic relations among species and to know the extent of convergence and divergence between them. The phylogentic relationships for five genotypes ofAcacia analyzed with RAPD-PCR (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA ) technique, The DNA for fresh and dry young leaves isolated from each sample for RAPD method, […]

Acute toxicity of different industrial effluents to selected species of carps

The effects of sugar mills, sewage water and textile mills effluents were studied on the selected fish species of carp. The fingerlings of Labeo rohita, Catla catla and Cirrhinus mrigala (8-9 g each) were procured from Fish Seed Hatchery, Satyana Road Faisalabad, Pakistan, and were transported to Reasrch Laberatory Department of Zoology, Government College University […]
