Agglomerative hierarchical clustering based on morphmetric parameters of the populations of Labeo rohita
Labeo rohita populations from five geographical locations from the hatchery and Riverine system of Punjab-Pakistan were studied for the clustering on the basis of similarities and differences based on morphometric parameters within the species. Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC) was done by using Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) as […]
Characteristics of cattle rearing, herd composition and manifestations of climate change in the municipality of Banikoara in Benin
The current study aims to assess the breeding system, the herd structure of the cattle farm and the climate changes in the municipality of Banikoara. It appears that the majority of farmers was from Fulani ethnic group, of 46 years old and married. Livestock farming was their main activity. The main crops produced included maize, […]
A taxonomic review of Rubus L. (Rosaceae) in the Northern Iran based on the analysis of quantitative morphological characters
The genus Rubus is highly variable and frequently occurring in Iran, particularly in North regions. It has a global distribution on all climates except the Antarctic region. Ten morphological quantitative characters in seven species of Rubus in N Iran were studied. Based on the UPGMA cluster analysis of quantitative characters, the similarity of individuals was […]
Genetic structure in anzali wetland’s pike (Esox lucius) using microsatellite molecular method
In this research, Pike (Esox lusius) one of the most valuable commercial marine species has been evaluated for genetic structure in Anzali wetland using microsatellite markers. 60 specimens of adult pikes were sampled from two spawning seasons, winter and spring in Anzali wetland.

Morphological variation,cultivation techniques and management practices of Moringa oleifera in Southern Benin (West Africa)
This study examined the phenotypic variation and the modalities for integrating Moringa oleifera in agroforestry systems in southern Benin in order to contribute to sustainable management of the species. Morphological characterization of M. oleifera based on measurements taken on the trees, leaves, leaflets and fruits, and ethno-botanical survey on cultivation techniques and management of plantation […]
Impact of climate on seed morphology and plant growth of Caesalpinia bonduc L. in West Africa
Caesalpinia bonduc L. is an important medicinal plant threatened by overexploitation. In the present study, the impact of climate on seed morphology, germination capacity, seedling and plant growth of C. bonduc were evaluated. A total of 2000 seeds were collected in Sudanian and Guinean climate zones of Africa and their length, width, thickness, weight and […]
Variations in aerial mycobiota of archeological sites of taxila, Pakistan
The transportation of air borne fungal spores to the surface of archeological monuments is very significant step in the process of biodeterioration. The present study was designed to isolate the aerial mycobiota from six world heritage sites of Taxila. The fungal spores were trapped by petri plate gravitational method and three culture media malt extract […]
Typology of cocoa-based agroforestry systems in a forest-savannah transition zone: case study of Kokumbo (Centre, Côte d’Ivoire)
The introduction of hybrid varieties cocoa has led to the progressive disappearance of the complex agroforestry systems in Côte d’Ivoire. However in forests-savannah transition area, these systems seem to persist in despite the high frequency of bushfires, low rainfalls and the change of cocoa trees varieties. To understand the farming practices in that zone, data […]
