Monodontomerus aeneus (Fonscolombe) is a parasitic wasp that oviposits on the prepupae and pupae of Osmia cornuta (Latreille) and other solitary bee species. A two-armed olfactometer was used to test the olfactory attractiveness of O. cornuta prepupae, cocoon, and larval frass to female M. aeneus. Both cocoon and frass attracted the female parasitoids, but frass alone was more attractive than t...

Inflammation is a necessary process to control infection. However, exacerbated inflammation, acute or chronic, promotes deleterious effects in the organism. Violacein (viola), a quorum sensing metabolite from the Gram-negative bacterium Chromobacterium violaceum, has been shown to protect mice from malaria and to have beneficial effects on tumors. However, it is not known whether this drug poss...

Tras la identificación de numerosas plantas recolectadas en una expedición a Marruecos durante 1989, nuestro objetivo fue averiguar si alguna implicaba ampliación o confirmación área para algunos los sectores considerados Checklist of Vascular Plants N Morocco. Con resultados obtenidos se amplía información corológica tres taxones angiospermas, recolectados Targuist (v.g. Sedum andegavense), Ts...

Viola is a tool for the development and support of visual interactive media applications. Possible viola applications range from a simple clock to a World Wide Web hypermedia browser (ViolaWWW). ViolaWWW is what most people equate with "Viola". It's a convenient association, but it is important to keep in mind that ViolaWWW (the Viola−based World Wide Web browser) is just an application, albeit...

Meloidogyne incognita and M. arenaria reproduction and host plant tolerance were assessed in field and greenhouse experiments on seven holly cultivars including Ilex glabra 'Shamrock', I. vomitoria 'Schelling's Dwarf', I. cornuta 'Carissa', red holly hybrid (Ilex Little Red), and I. crenata 'Compacta', 'Green Luster', and 'Helleri' as well as Japanese boxwood (Buxus microphylla) and two lantana...

Cladocerans occupy an important position among the bacterial consumers in freshwater food webs, being relatively non-selective filter feeders that can exert a strong impact on microbial populations. We evaluated the bacterivory potential of three cladocerans species of subtropical and tropical occurrence (Ceriodaphnia silvestrii, Daphnia gessneri and Ceriodaphnia cornuta) at different life stag...

Ilex cornuta Lindl. & Paxton is a commercially important horticultural species worldwide, and extensive cultivation hybridization have produced many varieties. Despite the considerable breeding, selection, widespread domestication, which may significant role in composition of genomes, there are no other previous reports intraspecific genome size variation different cultivars or hybrids this...
