This article documents the addition of 139 microsatellite marker loci and 90 pairs of single-nucleotide polymorphism sequencing primers to the Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for the following species: Aglaoctenus lagotis, Costus pulverulentus, Costus scaber, Culex pipiens, Dascyllus marginatus, Lupinus nanus Benth, Phloeomyzus passerini, Podarcis muralis, Rhododendron...

Terrestrial isopods have evolved adaptations to reduce water loss, which is necessary for life in low humidity environments. However, the evolution of a waterproofed cuticle prevent loss environment could also impede oxygen uptake from environment. We therefore postulate an evolutionary trade-off between retention and gas exchange this group soil animals. The outcome expected be affected by bot...

The presence of earthworms in soil contaminated with petroleum products (PPs) increase the rate decomposition. use more than one animal species simultaneously remediation could accelerate process. However, effects may be different when long-term aging contamination exists during which toxic by-products can formed. This study evaluated effect PPs (petrol, diesel fuel, and used engine oil) carrie...

The aerial part of Aster scaber Thunb. (Asteraceae) yielded two new monoterpene peroxide glycosides, (3S)-3-O-(3',4'-diangeloyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-7-hydroperoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-1,5-diene (1) and (3S)-3-O-(3',4'-diangeloyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-6-hydroperoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-1,7-diene (2), and five known compounds, alpha-spinasterol (3), germacra-4(15),5,10(14)-triene-1-beta-ol (4), ...
