Parasitological examination of three passerine bird species: the Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio, Eurasian Golden Oriole Oriolus oriolus and Yellow Wagtail Motacilla flava, revealed the presence of the nematodes Acuaria subula, Diplotriaena ozouxi, Viguiera euryoptera and Microtetrameres inermis. All the birds were obtained in the spring (April-May); the nematodes found were mature, which ind...

This paper examines some biological aspects and the predatory capacity of Chrysoperla externa fed nymphs of Sipha flava and reared at different temperatures. Recently hatched larvae were placed individually in Petri dishes, fed ad libitum with S. flava and reared at either 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 or 32 ± 1°C, a RH of 70 ± 10% and a 12-h photophase. The experiment was fully randomized with 30 replica...

We report the draft genome sequence of Hydrotalea flava CCUG 51397(T), the type strain of the genus Hydrotalea (family Chitinophagaceae), isolated from water samples in southern Sweden.

Herbicides are considered the most effective weed management approach in world. Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS, EC 2.2.1.6) is widely used due to its advantages crop selectivity, effectiveness control broad-spectrum weeds and low mammalian toxicity has become one of popular herbicides by farmers. The overreliance on same over years led evolution herbicide resistance several species, including ...

Abstract Three sawfly species ( Hoplocampa minuta, flava, fulviicornis ) have been monitored in plum orchards during the flowering period three consecutive years at different locations Hungary using chromotropic white sticky traps. Black and yellow sawflies H. minuta flava are one of most important pests orchards, however plum-fruit fulvicornis has not yet documented from Hungary. In almost all...

We designed a primer pair (BtubNomF/BtubNomR) specifically for amplifying Aspergillus nomius DNA. In vitro assays confirmed BtubNomF/BtubNomR specificity, corroborating its usefulness in detecting and identifying A. nomius. We then investigated the occurrence of A. nomius in floral visitors of Bertholletia excelsa trees by means of PCR, and A. nomius was detected in the following bees: Xylocopa...

1 A 2-year field study examined the demographic consequences of association with shrubs in an herbaceous perennial, Cryptantha flava . Physiological data were collected to evaluate whether shrub effects were mediated primarily through water, nutrient or light availability. 2 Microclimatic conditions under the north side of shrubs differed from open microhabitats, primarily in light availability...

Ramaria flava is a species of edible mushroom with some bioactivity. The anticancer, antioxidant and antibiotic activities and chemical composition of R. flava ethanol extract (EE) were evaluated. The present study exhibited that the EE displayed the strongest inhibitory activity against tumor cell MDA-MB-231 with an IC50 value of 66.54 μg/mL in three tested tumor cell lines, and the inhibition...
