The gut microbiotas of cockroaches and termites play important roles in the symbiotic digestion of dietary components, such as lignocellulose. Diet has been proposed as a primary determinant of community structure within the gut, acting as a selection force to shape the diversity observed within this "bioreactor", and as a key factor for the divergence of the termite gut microbiota from the omn...

Colonies of the free-living bryozoan Cupuladria exfragminis [Herrera-Cubilla, A., Dick, M.H., Sanner, J., Jackson, J.B.C., 2006. Neogene Cupuladriidae of Tropical America. I:.

Journal of Paleontology. 80, 245–263.] from the Gulf of Panama are observed to separate into viable fragments without external force. The process...

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...

Abstract Four types of biochars were prepared from rice husk as farm waste, sugarcane bagasse sugar cane juice store residues Leucaena leucocephala tree horticulture waste and chicken manure reduce at 700 ο C, then evaluated a alternative to control Tribolium castaneum , Rhyzopertha dominica Oryzaephlius surinamensis Sitophilus oryzae . The character each type has been defined using Scanning El...
