Assessment of Economically Important Invertebrate Fauna Present in the Coastal Areas of San Pablo, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines
Marine invertebrates play a vital role in the coastal areas and are incremental to prosper job opportunities, food security, and other substantial positive consequences to the environment and to the people in the coastal community. The study was conducted to identify the economically important macro invertebrates present in the shell fishing grounds of Illana Bay […]
Climate and potential habitat suitability for cultivation and in situ conservation of the black plum (Vitex doniana Sweet) in Benin, West Africa
Sustainable management actions are needed for several indigenous agro forestry plant species like the black plum (Vitex doniana Sweet) because they are facing increasing pressures due to the rapid human growth and threats such as climate change. By combining species distribution modelling using the Maximum Entropy Algorithm (Max Ent) and representation gap analysis, this study […]
Identification and molecular characterization of endophytic bacteria isolated from wheat roots with biotechnological potential in agriculture
Bacterial root endophytes reside in a vast number plant species as a part of their root microbiome. Some of them have been shown to positively influence in plant growth. Here, six bacterial isolates namely W1, W3, W7, W11, W12, and W15 were obtained from surface sterilized healthy roots of wheat. This isolates showing positive ability […]
Reproductive strategy uniqueness of Littoraria scabra (Gastropoda: Littorinidae), in Tombariri mangrove, North Sulawesi, Indonesia
This study used Littoraria scabra as a research model of reproductive strategy and attempted to understand how the species optimize their survival in mangrove area. It was aimed at investigating the reproductive strategy of ovoviviparous L. scabra in order to maintain their survival in mangrove ecosystem. Reproductive strategy observations of L. scabra were done by […]

An investigation was conducted to know the present status of fishing gears used and their species selectivity, length selectivity as well as their effects on fish biodiversity of the Chalan beel in Natore district for a period of 6 months from July to December, 2012. Interview schedules were used in collecting data from different upazilas […]
Biomass and Carbon Sequestration Rate in a Young Eucalyptus Hybrid Plantation of Terai Central Forest Division
Biomass and carbon sequestration rate in a 2 year old plantation of Eucalyptus hybrid was estimated in Terai central forest division of Uttarakhand over a one year period extending between October-2009 to September-2010. 20 permanent plots of 0.1 ha were placed randomly in the plantation site of 10 ha. The biomass was calculated by using […]

Floristic survey of district Shangla was conducted from 15 March 2011 to 5 November 2013 to collect information’s concerning the flora of district Shangla. The flora of district Shangla consist of 515 plant […]
Mandibular shape variation among different size classes of the ant Camponotus sp.(Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
This study was conducted to determine shape differences in the mandibles of different size classes of the ant Camponotus sp.. To do this, landmarks taken from digital images of a total of sixty minor (30) and major worker (30) ants were subjected to the outline-based Geometric Morphometric Analsis of Elliptic Fourier Analysis (EFA). Results showed […]
Fluctuating asymmetry as an indicator of Ecological stress and Developmental instability of Neurothemis ramburii (Odonata: Libellulidae) in Iligan City, Philippines
Odonata species are often used for biomonitoring purposes are often influenced by environmental instability in diverse ways. The degree of developmental stability of individuals and populations is most often estimated by their level of fluctuating asymmetry (FA). FA refers to a slight number and nondirectional deviations from strict bilateral symmetry of biological objects that occur […]
Assessment of Leachate Quality by Comparing WQI to Saprobic Index in Plankton
Change on landfill function from sanitary landfill to open dumping at District of Mempawah, Western Borneo, Indonesia is deterioration in environmental management. Objective of this research is to assess leachate quality in dry season using a comparison of WQI to SI during tides. Only plankton species survives at specific contamination level in landfill leachate. Utilization […]
