during a survey on pistachio, pistacia vera l., pests in isfahan, iran, in 2015, some lepidopteran larvae living and feeding inside galls of the wrinkling pistachio aphid, forda hirsuta mordv., were observed. after laboratory rearing of these larvae, the moths were identified as altenia mersinella (staudinger, 1879) (lep.: gelechiidae) by the third author. this species has previously been repor...

OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of infant rearing on the behavior of depressed adult female Macaca fascicularis and the influence of depressed infant-rearing adult female Macaca fascicularis on their infants in a free enclosure environment. METHODS Here, 20 depressed subjects and then 20 healthy subjects were randomly selected from a total population of 1007 adult female Macaca fascicularis...

Dermatophyte infections were established in 6.9% of 640 unselected dermatology outpatients attending two district general hospitals in Cumbria over a six-month period. A clinical diagnosis of ringworm was confirmed in the laboratory in 43.1% of hospital and in 21.8% of a smaller series of general practice patients. No result of similar surveys have been published before., Even in a major stock-...

The ovigerous females of Upogebia (Upogebia assisi) were collected from Pacha (24o 50 54"N, 66o 43 E) on October 6 and 7, 1994 and 1995 respectively. They were kept for rearing under laboratory conditions at room temperature (25-32oC) in the filtered seawater with salanity of 35-36 parts per thousand (ppt) and pH 7.8-9. Development of larvae proceeds from first to three or four zoeal and p...

The size and structure of an animal's brain is typically assumed to result from either natural or artificial selection pressures over generations. However, because a fish's brain grows continuously throughout life, it may be particularly responsive to the environmental conditions the fish experiences during development. Salmon are an ideal model system for studying these effects because natural...

Wild population of the olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi.)) was adapted to the laboratory conditions feeding on both olive fruits and an artificial diet. Infested fruits were brought to the laboratory and emerged adults used as the initial generation of the laboratory colony. After eggs were laid into the fruits, they were dissected and first instars were transferred to an artificial die...
