The invasive grass Bromus tectorum fuels fires, displaces native species, and reduces wildlife habitat on sagebrush steppe throughout the western United States. Recently, it has spread from the Great Basin Desert into higher elevations of the eastern Sierra Nevada, where it coexists with natives but has not yet altered fire regimes. We evaluated effects of a springtime water pulse (+10 mm) in a...

Many hemiparasites, including several members of the Castilleja genus (Scrophulariaceae), obtain secondary compounds from their host plants. Both Castilleja miniata in subalpine Colorado and C. indivisa in central Texas have reduced herbivory when obtaining alkaloids from the hosts Lupinus argenteus and L. texensis (Fabaceae), respectively. However, pollinators were not deterred from visiting C...

The Pb, Hg and As content of the muscle, gill and liver of marin organisms Otolithes rubber, Pampus argenteus, Parastromateus niger, Scomberomorus commerson, Onchorynchus mykiss were measured. Analysis of lead and arsenic was carried out by anodic stripping voltammetry method. Hg analysis was done spectrophotometrically. It was found that mercury concentration reaches to maximum in the gill of ...

this study was conducted to estimating the amount of non-standard sizes (with lengths less than lm50) fishes of shrimp trawls in the hormozgan province coastal water during shrimp fishing season. sampling was carried out using the tabas otriger commercial trawler during 55 hauls. eight commercially valuable species including pampus argenteus, parastromateus niger, plicofollis dussumieri, saurid...

uct was obtained under the same PCR conditions as those used for A. argenteus. However, three primer sets (MSAA-3, MSAA-4 and MSAA-6) gave PCR products in the amplification using low annealing temperatures at 45 ¡C, 35 ¡C and 40 ¡C, respectively, although the remaining sets did not provide any products even at the low annealing temperatures (e.g. 10 ¡C below the annealing temperature in Table 1...

The accumulations of Cd, Ni, Pb, and Cr were measured in muscle, gill, kidney, and liver of Platycephalus indicus and Pampus argenteus. Our results indicated that all metals were found to be the highest in tissues in P. indicus (benthic species). Except Ni in P. indicus, concentrations of metals and bioaccumulation factor were in the following sequence: liver > kidney > gill > muscle. The data ...
