Essential Oil Variation within and between Stachys inflata Benth. and Stachys lavandulifolia Vahl. Populations from Iran

Although several species of Stachys possess characteristic essential oils, only a few published studies have described within and between populations of their volatile constituents. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the chemical composition of essential oils from two chemically unexplored Stachys species, Stachys lavandulifolia and Stachys inflata. Populations of these species were […]

Diversity and Special Assessment of Soft Bottom Intertidal Mollusks in Sea Grass Beds of Benoni, Glan, Sarangani Province, Philippines

Gastropods are very diverse species of oragnisms found in the intertidal section of the coasts. They belong to a group of animals called mollusks (soft-bodied animals).This study was conducted during first week of November, 2015 in Benoni, Glan, Sarangani Province particularly in the barangays of LunPadidu, Tuyan and Poblacion. The study area provided excellent sites […]

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, […]
