The presence of Chionomys nivalis (Martins, 1842) (Mammalia Rodentia Cricetidae) in Calabria, the southern tip of the Italian peninsula, is reported in different literature sources, but the only Calabrian specimen, from Lago Cecita, Cosenza district, is preserved into Museo Zoologico “La Specola”, Firenze. A recent examination of this specimen, moreover, has shown that it is an Arvicola amphibi...

Amaç: Alchemilla L. cinsine ait türlerin genellikle toprak üstü kısımlarının halk arasında diüretik, astrenjan, antispazmodik, yara iyileştirici, aşırı menstürasyonda kür olarak ve konvulsif hastalıkların tedavisinde kullanılmakta olduğu bilinmektedir. Sahip oldukları zengin polifenol içeriği sebebiyle de antioksidan, antimikrobiyal antienflamatuvar etkiler gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma...

Potential events of allopolyploidy may be indicated by incongruences between separate phylogenies based on plastid and nuclear gene sequences. We sequenced two plastid regions and two nuclear ribosomal regions for 34 ingroup taxa in Fragariinae (Rosaceae), and six outgroup taxa. We found five well supported incongruences that might indicate allopolyploidy events. The incongruences involved Apha...

The aim of this study was to identify the flavonoid constituents of the Bulgarian endemic Alchemilla jumrukczalica Pawl. and evaluate the antiradical scavenging activity of the total extract, fractions and individual compounds. The total MeOH extract exhibited a significant DPPH activity (IC50 10.7±0.4 μg/ml), while EtOAc fraction obtained after partition of the total extract was found to be th...
