A species of sea anemone found in shallow water areas of southern Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, but never before reported from Hawaii, is described. It is identified as Actiniogeton sesere, previously recorded and described from the Torres Straits (Haddon and Shackleton 1893). HAWAII'S COELENTERATE FAUNA is poorly known and is in need of serious study. As I have discussed elsewhere (Dunn 1974), the single...

The parasitoid complex associated with Monochamus galloprovincialis (Olivier), vector of the pine wood nematode, is discussed. Four species of the family Braconidae and one Ichneumonidae were found associated with Monochamus galloprovincialis in Portugal, namely Atanycolus denigrator (Linnaeus), Atanycolus ivanowi (Kokujev), Cyanopterus flavator (Fabricius), Doryctes striatellus (Nees) (Braconi...

Result obtained during ten years research work (1990-2000) on distribution of monogenean fauna Iranian fishes indicates that its composition of monogenean fauna of Iranian fishes depends on their habit and since Iran includes three different zoogeographical zones with highly endemic fish hosts, its monogenean parasites have specific composition. The Caspian fauna is characterized by relatively ...

Across Europe, the majority of afforestation is carried out on former agricultural land. Given this current planting trend it is important to assess the impact that afforestation will have on the flora and fauna of habitats typically used for afforestation. The study aim was to investigate the initial effects of afforestation (5 years after planting) on the ground-dwelling spider fauna within t...

Seagrasses play a critical role in the function and structure of coastal ecosystems, and they are an important habitat for a variety of marine organisms. Damage to seagrass beds from boat propellers is significant in many areas. Recognizing the need to protect this valuable habitat, three voluntary no motor zones were established in Redfish Bay, Texas. This study was designed to test the effect...

in 2013, we launched a project to collect and identify the insects, which were associated with the pistachio gall aphid species forda hirsuta mordv. and slavum mordvilovi kreutz in tang-shekan region of the city of arsanjan in the province of fars. we collected the ichneumonid wasp aneuclis melanaria (holmgren) of the subfamily tersilochinae on the aphid populations of s. mordvilovi. this paras...

medicinal plants were used from past to present. different small arthropods such as acari were found on these plants. therefore a study on the acari fauna associated with some medicinal plants (family: asteraceae) in hamedan region was carried out during 2008–2009. in this survey, 23 species belonging 18 genera from 15 different families of the subclass acari were collected and identified. two ...

The objective of this study was to measure the communities associated with different seagrass species to predict how shifts in seagrass species composition may affect associated fauna. In the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, coverage of the historically dominant shoal grass (Halodule wrightii) is decreasing, while coverage of manatee grass (Syringodium filiforme) and turtle grass (Thalassia testudi...

The redwood forests support an unknown but large number of invertebrate species and, over all seasons, more than two hundred species of vertebrates (A. Cooperrider, unpub. comp.). Beyond this, knowledge of the redwoods fauna is surprisingly limited. Despite the enormous public attention that has been focused on redwood forests in recent years, comparatively little has been written about the eco...
