Aqueous extracts of ink from four cephalopods, adult and young Sepiella inermis and Loligo duvaucelli were tested against Moloney murine leukaemia virus reverse transcriptase (MMLV RT). Ink from young cephalopods, S. intermis and L. duvaucelli showed strong inhibition of MMLV RT.

The simultaneous study of the temporal dynamics of foraging behaviour, diet and seed abundance is essential to assess the way in which resources affect the behaviour and ecology of harvester ants. Here, we evaluate how fluctuations in grass seed abundance during three consecutive growing seasons influenced the foraging behaviour and diet of the harvester ants Pogonomyrmex rastratus, P. mendozan...

The objective of this paper deal with the physico chemical aspects of certain colouring plants namely. Bixa orellana Linn. (Leaves) and Lawsonia inermis Linn (Leaves). The determined data under the physico chemical, chromatographic and spectrophotometric studies can be taken as a pharmacopoeial standards.
