butterflies of the inani reserve forest were studied between may 2014 and may 2015. one hundred twenty five species of butterflies belonging to 84 genera and six families (hesperiidae, papilionidae, pieridae, lycaenidae, riodinidae and nymphalidae) were recorded during this study. the highest number of species comprised family nymphalidae (38 species, 30.4%) followed by lycaenidae (35 species, ...

Ramularia is a species-rich genus that harbours plant pathogens responsible for yield losses to many important crops, including barley, sugar beet and strawberry. Species of Ramularia are hyphomycetes with hyaline conidiophores and conidia with distinct, thickened, darkened, refractive conidiogenous loci and conidial hila, and Mycosphaerella sexual morphs. Because of its simple morphology and g...

sphecidae is a large and important family of hymenoptera. all members of this family are presocial predators of other arthropods and play a role in the control of pest complex. in this study, sphecids were collected from east azerbaijan province using sweep net, malaise traps and yellow pan traps. twenty species of the family sphecidae (hymenoptera), belonging to subfamilies pemphredoninae, ast...

Objective: In soil habitats, mesostigmatic mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) are among the most important predators of smallarthropods and nematodes. Methods: A study was carried out during 2009-2010 to identify theirfauna in Khorramabad county, Western Iran. Soil samples were taken from different regions. Mites were extracted by Berlese-Tullgren funnel and cleared in nesbit fluid. Microscopic slides...

Within the last decade, checklists of the ant fauna of several European countries have been published or updated. Nevertheless, no ant checklists have hitherto been published for the principality of Andorra, a small landlocked country located in the eastern part of the Pyrenees. This work presents a critical list of the ant species of Andorra based on a review of the literature and on the biolo...

abstract in order to identification of plant parasitic nematodes of rosmarinus officinalis rhizospher during 2008-2009, fifty soil and root samples were collected from campus of ferdowsi university. soil and root samples were washed and nematodes were extracted by centrifugal flotation technique. according to de grisse, 1969 the extracted nematodes were fixed and transferred to glycerin. in thi...

A transversal survey of immature mosquitoes was conducted on Mayotte Island (France) in the Comoros Archipelago, western Indian Ocean, with the aim to inventory the Culicidae and to document inter-species relationships in different habitats. In total 420 habitats were sampled for larvae and/or pupae mosquitoes, resulting in more than 6,000 specimens. Forty species belonging to 15 genera were co...

Abstract The benthic algal composition of Charophyta in the Avusor Great Lake and Koçdüzü at altitude about 3,000 m a.s.l. was investigated on 21 August 2019. A total 112 species, belonging to Zygnematophyceae, were identified. genera Cosmarium (44), Staurastrum (16), Closterium (15), Euastrum (13) most abundant. members filamentous charophyta represented by two species. Bioindicator species ch...

Identification of Zygomycetes is difficult and time-consuming by standard microbiological procedures. Carbon assimilation profiles are commonly used for yeast-and bacterial-species identification but rarely for filamentous-fungus identification. Carbon assimilation profiles were evaluated using the commercialized kits ID32C and API 50 CH, which contain 31 and 49 tests, respectively, to serve as...
