Understanding of the processes of divergence and speciation is a major task for biodiversity researches and may offer clearer insight into mechanisms generating biological diversity. Here, we employ an integrative approach to explore genetic and ecological differentiation of Leucomeris decora and Nouelia insignis distributed allopatrically along the two sides of the biogeographic boundary 'Tana...

Understanding the reproductive characteristics of Sabellastarte spectabilis (Grube, 1878), an economically important polychaete worm collected for the aquarium trade, is essential to the development of artificial propagation and conservation of coral reefs. The purpose of this study was to determine whether S. spectabilis is hermaphroditic. Using histological techniques, 180 individuals were ex...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the lipid profile Plasmodium berghei infected rats treated with aqueous extract Cassia spectabilis. Twenty five (25) adult male wistar were divided into (5) groups per group. Group I normal control fed only rat chow and water, II parasite without treatment. Groups III IV afterwards 200 mg/kg 400 spectabilis respectively, while V a standard drug (chloroquine)...

Dois novos metabólitos, 2,4-diidroxi-5,6-dimetil benzoato de etila (1) e phomopsilactona (2) foram isolados de Phomopsis cassiae, um fungo endofítico de Cassia spectabilis. As estruturas destes compostos foram elucidadas por dados espectrométricos de 1D e 2D RMN, EM e IV. As substâncias 1 e 2 exibiram forte atividade antifúngica contra os fungos fitopatogênicos Cladosporium cladosporioides e C....

The pleasing lacewing genus Dilar Rambur is a dominant group of the family Dilaridae in Asia and is diverse in China with 18 described species. Herein we record five species of Dilar. Three species, i.e. Dilar hastatus sp.nov., Dilar spectabilis sp.nov. and Dilar taibaishanus sp.nov. are described as new to science. Dilar sinicus Nakahara and Dilar septentrionalis Navás are also redescribed. A ...

Egg parasitoids of the stink bug Edessa meditabunda (F) were studied on rattlepod Crotalaria spectabilis used in soybean crop rotation in Campo Novo do Parecis, Mato Grosso state, central western Brazil. Seven species of parasitoids were found: two Encyrtidae, one Eurytomidae, and four Platygastridae. The occurrence of Trissolcus euchisti (Ashmead) and Trissolcus elimatus Johnson (Platygastrida...

A steady-state model, based on a combination of empirical and mechanistic relationships, is developed to predict respiratory water loss from terrestrial vertebrates. Model parameters are evaluated from published data for the banner-tail kangaroo rat (Dipodomys spectabilis). A threedimensional representation of model behavior is presented, emphasizing the interaction of organismal and environmen...

During 2009–10, cheese samples were collected from shops and cheese factories in Fars and Khuzestan provinces. Isolates were recovered from cheese using malt extract agar (MEA) and potato dextrose agar (PDA). Teleomorphic characteristics such as morphology of ascocarps, asci, ascospores and anamorphic characteristics such as conidiophores, phialides, conidia and chlamydospores were investigated...
