Molecular fingerprinting of pathogenic Enterococcus isolates using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Analysis

Enterococcus sp. is considered to be one of the most prevalent species in the oral cavity, particularly in endodontic infections. The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular fingerprinting of Enterococcus sp in patient’s urine diversity by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR) analysis of Enterococcus. Specific results for fingerprinting were obtained by […]

Competitive dynamic effects of wheat- Brassica intercropping: A review

Intercropping depicts the growing of two or more crops at the same time in the same piece of land. Moreover it enhances the crop production per unit area and time with efficient use of resources especially for small land holders. Sowing time of oilseed crops belongs to Brassica species coincides with the wheat so these […]

Consequences of Habitat Loss and Habitat Fragmentation on the Survival of Monitor Lizard Populations in Bangladesh: A Review and Prospectus

The ecosystems of Bangladesh support three different monitor lizard’s species (Varanus bengalensis, V. flavescens and V. salvator). But, these huge populations are in great threats from habitat loss and fragmentation point of view. Nonetheless, maximum research studies have not given clear insights into their population-level implications. There is an obvious need to explore the mechanisms […]

Taxonomic study of the family Scoliidae (Hymenoptera; Aculeata) in Iraq

In this study, 117 specimens of the hairy wasps (Hymenoptera: Scoliidae), collected from different region of Iraq are investigated. Five species belonging to three genera were determined; this species are: Campsomeriella thoracica (Fabricius), Megascolia maculata (Drury), Scolia flaviceps Eversmann, S. turkestanica Betrem, S. hirta (Schrank) and S. schrenkii (Eversmann). The last two species have been […]

Biodiversity indices of Noctuid Moths in various conifer forests of Himachal Pradesh

Lepidoptera is probably one of the most suitable groups for most quantitative comparisons especially their abundance and species richness. Moths were found to be a potentially useful indicator of biodiversity. The main objective of the study was to assess biodiversity health of conifer forests by using moths as indicator species. Quantitative estimates of species diversity, […]

Evaluation of the availability of Garcinia afzelii Engl. (Clusiaceae) inside the Yapo-Abbé classified forest of, in Côte D’ivoire

The continuous exploitation of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) inside the forests of Côte d’Ivoire still be of major preoccupation. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of intense exploitation of Garcinia afzelii, used for mouth and teeth care, on the population of this plant species inside the Yapo-Abbé classified forest. The study of the […]

Diversity and distribution of anuran in two islands of Parnaíba River Delta, Northeastern Brazil

The distribution and composition of communities are influenced by factors that determine the environmental characteristics in a particular region. In order to obtain more information regarding the fauna of frogs in the region of the Parnaíba River Delta, Northeastern Brazil, we performed a quantitative ecological study to compare the composition and distribution of the amphibian […]

Genetic polymorphism in Lens culinaris collected from malakand division Khayber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

A major part of the human di et al over the world consists of cereals and legumes. Legumes are however, considered as the major source of protein and dietary amino acid for man and farm animals. The detailed evolutionary relations and cluster analysis in this group of plants may help in further manipulations and modifications […]

Microhabitats of Pholcid Spiders (Araneae: Pholcidae) in Mt. Kitanglad Agri-Ecological and Techno-Demo Center, Imbayao, Bukidnon, Philippines

This study was conducted in Mt. Kitanglad Agri-Ecological and Techno-Demo Center, Brgy. Imbayao, Malaybalay, Bukidnon. The study aims to determine the microhabitats of pholcid spiders. Using Cruising method combined with visual search, pholcid spiders were searched on the underside of broad-leaf plants, buttresses, between rock and rock crevices, fallen logs, forest floor litter, and other […]
