The Chironomidae, or non-biting midges, of Illinois have been untreated since the early 20th century, and high level taxonomic flux in family necessitates an update, particularly for a group with importance as bio-indicators freshwater ecosystem health. Herein, 181 species Chironomidae 76 genera are recorded from state Illinois. Each entry is annotated first Illinoisan record species. Two gener...

Seven compounds belonging to different structural skeletons were isolated from Microsphaeropsis olivacea grown in liquid and solid media. The enalin derivative 7-hydroxy-2,4-dimethyl-3(2H)-benzofuranone is reported for the first time, while additional spectroscopic information is provided for the acetates of botrallin and ulocladol. The activity of the isolated compounds was assessed towards th...

ISSN 0001-5555 Coelomycetes are asexual fungi which produce their conidiospores within fruiting structures known as conidiomata. They are ubiquitous in soil and freshwater environments, and recognized as plant pathogens (1, 2). Although human infections with coelomycetous fungi are exceedingly ...

Invasive species are of global conservation concern. South Korea is also facing the same challenge, especially, due to growing pet trade. Herein, we report Pelomedusa cf. olivacea (Schweigger, 1812) from wild in Korea, where it has been imported as a pet. This first record Asian continent. In October 2019, found an individual this beside Hongje Stream Seoul. We recommend immediate control measu...

Normalizing the number of breakpoints between two genomes, previously reduced by deleting the genes specific to one or the other, gives a rapidly calculated index of gene order evolution which is not based on any assumptions about the relative importance of various possible rearrangement processes. This is used to compare chloroplast genomes with known gene orders, with a focus on recently sequ...

Coniophora olivacea has been traditionally considered as an important decay agent of building timbers broadleaf and conifer woods, causes significant damage on doors, window frames other wood structures exposed to the environment. A more restricted role tree pathogen also reported in cold climates. Studies predicted distribution potentially invasive species are a useful tool focus management ef...
