DNA Barcoding is one of the emerging tools in molecular identification faunal diversity, specifically insect fauna. The Surinam cockroach, Pycnoscelus surinamensis only known roach to be obligatorily parthenogenetic, with reported haplotypes. P. well established Indomalayan, tropical and subtropical regions substantially documented from India a phenetic approach. Herewith we report first set mt...

A field survey was conducted in Okomu Forest Reserve Edo State, to assess the diversity and seasonal dynamics of arthropod species selected land use systems (Okomu national park, rubber plantation oil palm plantation). Samplings arthropods were carried out between February September 2020, collected by hand picking sweep net each sampled plots at 25 m x study area. Insects encountered killed pre...

The biotopical distribution, size and age structure of the population, nocturnal activity rhythm feeding mottled scorpion (Mesobuthus eupeus) were studied. research was conducted on left bank Pirsagat river (Shirvan plain, Istern Azerbaijan). All discovered individuals scorpions divided into 5 groups by length metasome. distribution had a pronounced aggregated character with formation local clu...

The repellency of ultrasound to females of two species of mosquitoes, Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say and Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae), and male and female German cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L.) (Blattodea: Blattellidae), was evaluated under laboratory conditions using a random ultrasonic device developed at Kansas State University. This device produces ultrasound in the 20–...

Identifying cockroach (Order: Blattodea) populations is important to understanding the ability of surrogate species indirectly affecting humans by their ability to vector disease-causing organisms including bacteria. These interactions may have potentially deleterious health consequences on animal and/or human populations. In this study, American cockroaches, Periplaneta americana were sampled ...
