Lake Cisanti is the upstream of Citarum River and silting has occurred in inlet areas. This water body was selected as research area due to its crucial role for people living West Java Province despite some pollution issues recently. The conducted from January May 2016 during rainy season. aim it assess quality reveal that Trematodes cearcariae could be used bio indicator organic pollution. Fro...

Caralluma tuberculata belongs to milky weed family Apocynaceae which upholds 424 genera. This natural medicinal plant is widely distributed in South Asia, Africa, Middle East, and Spain etc. Overall phytochemistry of Caralluma tuberculata is endowed with flurry of pharmacologically active constituents like pregnane glycosides and aglycones, flavanoid, saponins and titerpenes etc. Caralluma tube...

The article proposes a new approach to solving the problem of biofouling at facilities circulating cooling system Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) by regulating hydrobiological studies. In course studies, 4 species hydrobionts were found that formed massive fouling on water supply facilities: filamentous algae Oedogonium sp. and Ulotrix zonata with total biomass 123.6±18.44 g/m2, tropica...

Relatively few introduced crabs are presently known from Australian waters. The present report significantly extends the documented range of the European Shore Crab Carcinus maenas (Linnaeus) and the Fire Crab Pyromaia tuberculata (Lockington) in eastern Australia, based on recently collected specimens now deposited in the Australian museum, Sydney (AM), and old collections in the Macleay museu...

BACKGROUND Estuaries and coastal lakes receive little attention despite being heavily invaded by non-indigenous invasive species (NIS). In these situations, studies of population dynamics in invaded habitats can provide valuable insights into how NIS interact with new environments. Tarebia granifera is a prosobranch gastropod from south-east Asia which has invaded other sub-tropical parts of th...

Bats (Chiroptera) are generally awkward crawlers, but the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) and the New Zealand short-tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata) have independently evolved the ability to manoeuvre well on the ground. In this study we describe the kinematics of locomotion in both species, and the kinetics of locomotion in M. tuberculata. We sought to determine whether these bats mov...
