Ethometry (i.e., quantitative, numerical analysis) of approach of the insect to objects moved in the air with a fishing rod and their pursuit proved a successful field method for objective evaluation of the valence of an object's features for Bembex rostrata males tested during their "sun dance". The maximum distance from which the insect reacts with a leap toward the object being a parameter o...

The eastern shovelnose ray (Aptychotrema rostrata) is a medium-sized coastal batoid endemic to the coast of Australia. It most common elasmobranch incidentally caught in Queensland east otter trawl fishery, Australia’s largest penaeid-trawl fishery. Despite this, age and growth studies on this species are lacking. present study estimated parameters age-at-maturity for A. rostrata basis sampling...

Goal: Assess host-race formation in certain moths by examining their genetic and ecological differentiation. Organisms: Stalk-feeding moths, Prodoxus quinquepunctellus, collected from sympatric populations of Yucca elata and Y. rostrata in west Texas, USA. Results: Moths on the two yuccas differed significantly in mtDNA haplotype frequencies, emergence time, wing dot number, body size, and ovip...

The tropical legume Sesbania rostrata can be nodulated by Azorhizobium caulinodans on both its stem and its root system. Here we investigate in detail the process of root nodulation and show that nodules develop exclusively at the base of secondary roots. Intercellular infection leads to the formation of infection pockets, which then give rise to infection threads. Concomitantly with infection,...

Agrobacterium strains were isolated from five different leguminous plants viz., Pisum sativum, Sesbania rostrata, Vigna mungo, V. radita and V. ungiculata. The isolated bacteria was characterized and identified as Agrobacterium rhizogenes based on their morphological, biochemical, cultural and pathogenicity tests. Antibiogram and protein profile of isolates were also studied by disc diffusion a...

ABSTRACT: We described a case of rhinitis caused by Exserohilum rostratum in 3-year-old, mixed breed, afemale goat, presenting with decreased appetite, dyspnea, and face deformity, evolution approximately 2 months. Necropsy revealed an extensive brownish yellow, irregular, ulcerated, friable focal lesion the nasal cavity. Purulent secretion drained from lesion, affecting vestibule extending cau...
