Otolith morphology of six species of Cichlidae from Lake Buyo in the South-west of Côte d’Ivoire
The morphology of otoliths is used as an indicator of various ecological processes or properties. So the present study was aimed to provide baseline data on the morphology of otoliths in six species of Cichlidae. A total of 179 individuals belonging to six species of the Cichlidae fished in Lake Buyo in June 2021 by […]
In vitro aggression of Trichoderma species against Fusarium induced wilt disease in cotton
A soil-borne fungus called Fusarium species assaults plants through their roots at all stages of growth and results in significant economic losses by causing signs of necrosis and wilting. Trichoderma species tested against Fusarium species under in vitro conditions. In this research, isolate of Trichoderma species was found in rhizosphere soils of cotton crops using […]
Bidens bipinnata L. (Asteraceae): A new species record to Rajasthan state, India
Bidens bipinnata L. (Asteraceae), first-time distribution records from the State of Rajasthan. Previously, this species was distributed only in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. In Rajasthan, it is reported as an addition to the flora of the State. This article provides habitat, distribution, detailed description, plant association, flowering and fruiting time, […]
Species richness and conservation status of ferns and lycophytes in Sibagat, Agusan del Sur, Caraga Region, Philippines
Ferns and lycophytes play an essential role in the environment and provide substantial benefits to human consumption. This study aimed to determine the species richness and conservation status of ferns and lycophytes in Brgy. Tabon-Tabon, Sibagat, Agusan del Sur, Caraga Region, Philippines. Three stations were established and measured 30m x 30 meters. Inside each station, […]
Diversity index of species in sandbar present in estuarine ecosystem of Agusan River, Philippines: Its threat, management and conservation
Estuary is a unique ecosystem due to the gradients of ecological conditions from riverine to marine. In some cases, there is sandbar in an estuary which rarely gets attention in scientific activities and conservation management. At the mouth of the Agusan River, the Philippines, where freshwater from the Agusan River and saltwater from Butuan Bay […]
Visual deficiency symptoms of Shorea Species seedlings as affected by macronutrient omission
This study was conducted to assess and describe the visual nutrient deficiency symptoms exhibited by Shorea almon, Shorea negrosensis, and Shorea palosapis seedlings as affected by macronutrient omission. A complete randomized design was used with seven (7) treatments and four (4) replications. There were 36 seedlings per treatment per replication per species used in the […]
Visual deficiency symptoms of Parashorea and Hopea species seedlings as affected by macronutrient omission
This study was conducted to assess and describe the visual nutrient deficiency symptoms exhibited by three dipterocarp seedlings as affected by mineral nutrient omission. A complete randomized design was used with 7 treatments and 4 replications. There were 36 seedlings per treatment per replication per species used in the experiment. The occurrences of deficiency symptoms […]
Carbon sequestration potential of selected tree species in Bolila Malita, Davao Occidental Philippines
This study determined the carbon sequestration potential of selected tree species in Bolila, Malita Davao Occidenta, Philippinesl. Twenty-seven (27) individuals trees were selected, measured, and calculated namely, Gmelina (Gmelina arborea), Mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni), Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena leucocephala), and Molave (Vitex parviflora) using line transect and non-destructive methods. Based on this results, Gmelina (G. arborea) has the […]
Species diversity, forest structure and composition of the Mangrove forest in the Sangalang locality, Biliran Island, Philippines
Mangrove forests contribute to the diversity, richness and productivity of coastal ecosystems. Unfortunately, these forest types are vulnerable to both human-caused and natural disturbances. In order to learn more about their diversity, structure and composition, and disturbance impact, nine permanent plots were established across three transect lines in Sangalang mangrove forest. The results showed a […]
Avian species in selected mangrove areas in Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte, Mindanao, Philippines
With the rampant habitat destruction of wildlife in the Philippines, the avifauna is the most affected as endemism in the archipelago is so high. Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte potentially harbors several Mindanao threatened endemic species in its Siocon Resource Reserve, a patch of secondary mature lowland forest as well as in mangrove areas. Opportunistic sampling […]
