Phytochemical investigation of a hexane extract of the aerial parts of Plectranthus ornatus yielded three new neoclerodane diterpenoids (1-3), two labdane diterpenes (4 and 5) obtained for the first time as natural products, and several previously known substances. The structures and relative stereochemistry of 1-5 were established mainly on the basis of NMR spectroscopic studies and by compari...

Non-random female mating preferences may contribute to the maintenance of phenotypic variation in color polymorphic species. However, the effect of female preference depends on the types of male traits used as signals by receptive females. If preference signals derive from discrete male traits (i.e., morph-specific), female preferences may rapidly fix to a morph. However, female preference sign...

in the course of our survey on oribatid mite fauna of the orchards of the city of arak (markazi province), in 2005-2006, we identified the species tectoribates ornatus (schuster). this species belongs to the family tegoribatidae and is a new record for the iranian mite fauna.

The complete genome sequence of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) was discovered from a rainbow bee-eater (Merops ornatus), a species of Coraciiformes The genome consisted of 1,996 bp encoding two major bidirectional transcribed open reading frames. This is the first evidence of BFDV infection and complete genome characterization for this novel host species.

As the dominant seed dispersal agents in many ecosystems, frugivorous animals profoundly impact gene movement and fine-scale genetic structure of plants. Most frugivores engage in some form of destination-based dispersal, in that they move seeds towards specific destinations, resulting in clumped distributions of seeds away from the source tree. Molecular analyses of dispersed seeds and seedlin...

We investigated the effects of eyestalk ablation and cheliped autotomy in inducing molting Callinectes ornatus. The specimens intermolt stage were divided into two size classes: 1 (30-50 mm) 2 (51-70 further four experimental groups. In CA group (Cheliped Autotomy, n=76), crabs submitted to autotomy; UA (Unilateral Ablation, n=66) BA (Bilateral unilateral bilateral ablation, respectively. C (Co...
