Weexaminedpatterns of genetic variationbetween the transcontinental speciesPyrgus communis(Grote) andPyrgus albescensPlötz (Hesperiidae) toexaminewhetherpatterns ofmolecular variation are congruentwith the taxonomy. Sequencedata frommitochondrialDNAandnuclearDNA failed to distinguish the two taxa. Although substantial genetic variation is explained by the two nominal taxa, more variation is exp...

A total of 5,721 mosquitoes (6% males) of 16 species were collected with an aerial net, when attracted to the investigator, during May-August 1984 at 2 sites in central Sweden. The majority of the mosquitoes collected (63%) were Aedes communis. Aedes communis females at both localities showed peak flight activity at evening twilight. At one site, a diel pattern of nectar feeding was correlated ...

This work aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of some plant (Ricinus communis,Matricaria recutita and Zygophyllum coccineum) extracts used in herbal remedy and folk medicine in Saudi Arabia, Results indicated that, the total extract the studied plants showed activity against the tested microbes, the highest activity was observed by using Matricaria...

To reveal distribution characteristics of glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) and it’s influencing factors under different vegetation types in the drought-tolerant shrubland Helan Mountain, we chose three as study subjects: Stipa breviflora (Grassland, G), Amygdalus mongolica (Shrub, S), breviflora-Amygdalus (Grassland-Shrub, G×S) bare was used control (CK). The contents easily extractable (EE...

(-)-Untenospongin B isolated from the marine sponge Hippospongia communis has been tested for its antimicrobial activity against bacteria and human pathogenic fungi using agar disk method and was found to possess a broad and strong activity toward the test organisms. Its antifungal activity was further characterized by determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against five fun...

Amygdalus persica L., belongs to Rosaceae family, and its flowers are used as medicine food. n-Butanol extract of A. were isolated purified with various column chromatographies, the fourteen compounds, chlorogenic acid butyl ester (1), rutin (2), protocatechuic (3), caffeic (4), 5-O-coumarroylquinic methyl (5), kaempferol-3-O-neohesperidoside (6), quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucoside (7), 3,5-dicaffeoyl...

In the present study we report the occurrence of three Naididae species from three gastropod mollusk species. The species Dero (Dero) righii was found from mollusks of the genus Biomphalaria. Nais communis was found from Biomphalaria sp. and Aplexa rivalis. Chaetogaster limnaei was found from Biomphalaria sp., Aplexa rivalis and Lymnaea columella. In Brazil, previous studies have reported the o...
