Biological diversity, also known as biodiversity, is an important criterion for measuring the value of an ecosystem. As biodiversity is closely related to human welfare and quality of life, many efforts to restore and maintain the biodiversity of species have been made by government agencies and non-governmental organizations, thereby drawing a substantial amount of international attention. In ...

Amplicon length heterogeneity PCR (LH-PCR) was investigated for its ability to distinguish between microbial community patterns from the same soil type under different land management practices. Natural sagebrush and irrigated mouldboard-ploughed soils from Idaho were queried as to which hypervariable domains, or combinations of 16S rRNA gene domains, were the best molecular markers. Using stan...

This study examined the diversity, abundance and evenness of butterfly pollinators in Kumaun region, Uttarakhand from March 2019 to February 2020. A total 394 butterflies, representing 40 species five families were collected. Nymphalidae was most dominant family with 19 species, followed by Pieridae (9 species), Lycaenidae Papilionidae (2 Hesperiidae (1 respectively. Pieris canidia indica (Evan...

The influence of soil pH was evaluated on the abundance and generic diversity of cyanobacteria in soil samples collected from diverse rice soil ecologies of India. Qualitative and quantitative studies of the 52 soil samples collected from nine agroecologies was carried out using enrichment, MPN (Most Probable Number) techniques and diversity indices were measured. A total of 166 forms, includin...

We studied short-term (1–3 years) responses of plant species and functional group abundances, richness, evenness, diversity, and similarity following cessation of 25 years (1972–1997) of herbicide application in a remnant of Blackland Tallgrass Prairie in central Texas. Substantial increases in plant cover from 1998 to 2000 were observed for annual forbs (359%–900%), primarily attributable to f...

In this paper, a new yarn evenness measurement method based on machine vision is introduced, which is a direct measurement process, as opposed to other methods. Two types of yarns (i.e., same yarn count but different quality grade and same quality grade but different yarn count) are measured to determine the coefficient of variation unevenness, which can be compared with the results of USTER ME...

Indonesia is a megadiverse country. Butterflies become one of the Indonesian diversities. has second-highest butterfly species in world with more than 2000 species. Flower plants are used by butterflies as hostplants and foodplant. The aims this research were to know butterflies’ diversity food Mount Muria at Kudus City, Central Java. quadran sampling transect method three stations (along 2 km)...
