The family Eucharitidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) is recorded for the first time for the fauna of Saudi Arabia based on Hydrorhoacaffra (Westwood) and Eucharis (Psilogastrellus) affinis Bouček. The record of Hydrorhoacaffra suggests that Al-Baha and Asir provinces should be considered as part of the Afrotropical rather than the Palaearctic region. The previously unknown male of Eucharisaffini...

• Soil penetration resistance increases as a result of park reconstruction. compaction explains one-third the variability in soil macrofauna. The abundance earthworm Aporrectodea rosea after A. calliginosa decreases This study is based on an industrial city Ukraine. In 2019, 2.8 ha area was reconstructed. park’s reconstruction aimed to create comfortable environment for visitors and improve eff...

the ovipositiomil behaviour and success of anagyrus pseudococci (girault), an encyrtid endoparasitoid of mealybugs, planococcus citri (risso) and pseudococcus affinis (mask.) were studied in the laboratory. behavioural sequences during oviposition starting from the searching for the host to the post-oviposition activities were described. once encountered, the mealybug host was examined and ...

Aeshna affinis, known as “Southern Migrant Hawker, Blue-eyed Hawker” is a native odonate species uncommon in many areas of the Iberian Peninsula. Field observations Andalusia, southernmost peninsular region, are notably scarce. Several photographs one larva this species, proof its reproduction southern Spain, provided.

INTRODUCTION Elevated oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of health disorders, like arthritis. Traditionally, Vespa affinis L., a common edible insect among many tribes in North-East India, is believed to have a beneficial role in extenuating health disorders, such as arthritis. The present study investigated the molecular mechanism underlying medicinal benefit of the A...

Abstract Three cumacean species, Eudorella nana Sars, 1879, Leucon affinis Fage, 1951, siphonatus Calman, 1905, were recorded for the first time and one rare amphipod presence, Stenothoe bosphorana Sowinsky, 1898, was confirmed in Adriatic basin.

in this study, cadmium (cd) accumulation was studied in an experimental aquatic exposure. mosquitofish (gambusia affinis) were acutely exposed for 96 h to a high concentration of cd (12 mg/l) and were chronically exposed to a low concentration of cd(0.4 mg/l) for 30 days. cd accumulation profiles differed between the two cd exposures. the cd concentation in g. affinis tissues increased linearly...
