A 2-year field study was conducted in the southern High Plains region of Texas to evaluate the effect of tillage system and cotton planting date window on seasonal abundance and activity patterns of predacious ground beetles. The experiment was deployed in a split-plot randomized block design with tillage as the main-plot factor and planting date as the subplot factor. There were two levels for...

Over one-year period, 150 pasture soil samples and 138 sheep faecal samples, collected from different parts of Iran were screened for the presence of nematophagous fungi. The samples were cultured at 25ºC on chloramphenicol-2% water agar (CHF-WA) plates in the presence of Haemonchus contortus third stage larvae (L3) and checked over a two-month period for characteristic conidia, conidiophores a...

Seasonal abundance of phytophagous, predacious, miscellaneous and soil mites associated with mango orchards were investigated in the Giza governorate. Samples taken from five different cultivars during four seasons through year 2020–2021. Different parts trees such as leaves, raceme, buds well underneath sampled at fortnightly intervals. In total, 17 species representing 16 genera 12 families f...

quicklime for controlling Acanthaster must depend on the ability of coral polyps and other soft-bodied reef organisms to remove quicklime effectively from their bodies by mucus secretion or other mechanisms. I agree with North and Pearse that preliminary experiments need to be undertaken to determine the effects of quicklime on inhabitants of coral reefs. Quicklime may prove more serious to the...

The isolation, structural elucidation and biological activities of oligosporon (1), oligosporol A (2) and oligosporol B (3), three new antibiotics from cultures of the predacious deuteromycete, Arthrobotrys oligospora, are reported. The structures were elucidated by means of high resolution mass and high field N M R spectroscopy. The compounds exhibited weak antimicro­ bial, cytotoxic and hemol...

This study had the objective of assessing the differences in foraging activity of the predacious ants between two areas, one conventional and other with no-till agriculture systems. The research was conducted in two contiguous 1.5 ha plots in Dourados MS, Brazil, from February 2001 to December 2003. Each plot received 750 baits (Nasutitermes termites), 425 at daylight and 325 at night. The term...

The species of Odonata are highly predacious on invertebrates, especially the immature stages, which generalist predators. Odonate diversity protected areas Gujarat state, India was studied from August, 2014 to July, 2017. Fifteen were surveyed. A total 60 (41 Anisoptera and 19 Zygoptera) belonging 40 genera under 8 families two suborders recorded. Maximum (54) recorded Purna Wildlife Sanctuary...
