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 […]
A Rapid marine biodiversity assessment of the coral reefs in morales Beach, Benoni, Glan, Sarangani Province, Philippine
Morales beach is one of the beaches located in the coastal town of Glan, Sarangani Province and noted for its quite enormous coral reef which is continuously degrading. This study was conducted to assess the health status of coral reef ecosystem and to evaluate the physico-chemical parameters of the area. Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method […]
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 […]
Morphological variations of green mussel (Perna viridis) in bula, general santos city using geometric morphometric analysis
The Philippines, being a tropical country in the Pacific, has long been culturing mussels for business and food consumption. However, they cannot determine at a glance what gender is which. This study is conducted to determine the difference of the male P. viridis and the female P. viridis through landmark based Geometric-Morphometric method. The population […]
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 […]
