The myrmicine genus Rotastruma is a rarely collected arboreal ant group and only two species, R. recava Bolton stenoceps Bolton, are known from the Oriental Region. A new epispina sp. nov. , described Cambodia based on worker queen castes. species distinguished by having propodeal spine directed upwards elongated peduncle of petiole. Herein, we provide an update to identification key diagnostic...

Abstract: A new species of Phanerothecium Kritsky & Thatcher, 1977 (Oogyrodactylidae Harris, 1983) is described from locariid fish southeast Brazil. macrosomum n. sp. (Oogyrodactylidae) the body surface Hypostomus regani (Ihering, 1905) (Loricariidae). It characterized by an armed male copulatory organ containing spines different size proximal to distal extremity, short peduncle and robust ...

Phenotypic characterization has been recognized as very important for the identification and selection of promising lines in improvement programs. This study aimed at characterizing selecting early-maturing high-yielding African yam bean (AYB) mutant M2 generation. The experiment was carried out experimental field Institute Agricultural Research Training, Nigeria. design used a randomized compl...

A novel method for spatially mapping anisotropy/orientation coherence of the eigenvector is presented. By using an eigenvector-based approach, an intervoxel diffusion coherence (IVDC) index was used to quantify the coherence of the principal diffusion directions within a voxel neighborhood. This method may allow reconstruction of a whole brain map to be used for diagnostic purposes. The IVDC in...

Recovery of motor function after subcortical stroke appears to be related to the integrity of descending connections from the ipsilesional cortical motor system, a view supported by the observation of greater than normal movement-related activation in ipsilesional motor regions in chronic subcortical stroke patients. This suggests that damage to the descending output fibres from one region of t...
