A new genus, Canobolas Reid, Jurado-Rivera & Beatson, is erected for four species of Chrysomelinae: C. nobilis (Lea) (comb. nov. from Geomela Lea, and type species), C. jarrah sp. nov., C. minang sp. nov. and C. tubrabucca sp. nov., all of which are described. Canobolas is endemic to Australia, where it is confined to the far western and eastern edges of the continent. All species are flightles...

In the present research, modification of the zona radiata (ZR) around the molly (Poecilia sphenops, Valencinnes 1846) and bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis, Richardson 1845) oocytes and in the zygotes were studied for pre- and post-fertilization stages and its relationship with the reproductive strategy. Light and scanning electron microscopic studies on the histological sections of...

Pinna nobilis is distributed in the northwest area of Mediterranean and Aegean Sea. In this study, on 9 September 2020, one specimen nobilis, pen shell, was observed during scuba diving at a depth 16 m off Samandag coast (36.259444° N, 35.810111° E), northeastern we for first time P. from Coast Turkey, coast. region, presence has never been previously recorded, new record confirms location

BACKGROUND Multidrug resistance is a worrying cause of treatment failure in bacterial infections. The search of bioactive constituents from medicinal plants against multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria has significantly evolved in the two last decades. In the present study, twenty-two compounds (three terpenoids, eleven phenolics and eight alkaloids) isolated from three Cameroonian medicinal plan...

Medicinal and aromatic plants are used since ancient times in folk medicine and traditional food, but also in novel pharmaceutical preparations. The controversy lies in the use of cultivated and/or wild plants presenting both advantages and disadvantages in biological, ecological but also economic terms. Herein, cultivated and wild samples of Laurus nobilis L. were chemically characterized rega...

Understanding is currently limited of the biological processes underlying the responses of modular organisms to climate change and the potential to adapt through morphological plasticity related to their modularity. Here, we investigate the effects of ocean acidification and seawater warming on the growth, life history and morphological plasticity in the modular bryozoan Calpensia nobilis using...

The aim of the research was to determine the occurrence of insect’s pathogens and nematodes in Orthotomicus laricis (F.), Orthotomicus erosus (Wollaston), and Orthotomicus nobilis (Wollaston) in central-south Europe. We found three insect’s pathogens Chytridiopsis sp., Gregarina sp., Mattesia sp. and nonspecific gut nematodes and nematodes in the haemolymph, where adult nematodes were identifie...
