An erroneously cited text of Wason by subsequent authors has led to the assumption that Hipposideros lankadiva was first recorded in Rajasthan Bhim Bharak caves Jodhpur. A careful review Wason’s note revealed it fact mentioned another species from genus, H. fulvus. This erroneous citation several research articles published on ecological aspects this be misinformed. The discovered a small popul...

The pre-dispersal seed predator, Bruchidius villosus (Coleoptera, Bruchidae) destroyed ca. 8% of seeds of its major host-plant, Laburnum anagyroides (Fabaceae, Genisteae), a tree-like legume, in Hungary. However, almost 40% of the pods were infested by the beetle. Females did not show a resource concentration response: with increasing number of seeds per pod, the number of uninfested seeds also...

There are eight species in the genus Gyps : Gyps africanus , G. coprotheres, and G. rueppellii in Africa; G. bengalensis , G. indicus , G. tenuirostris , G. himalayensis in Asia; G. fulvus in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The ranges of many of these species overlap, and wintering G. fulvus overlap with several resident species in Asia and Africa (Fig. 1). Gyps species share a similar feeding ecolog...

In order to characterize the endocrine changes associated with ovarian function and pregnancy in wild redfronted lemurs (Eulemur fulvus rufus), profiles of immunoreactive 5alpha-pregnane-3alpha-ol-20-one (5-P-3OH) and total estrogens (E(t)) in feces were generated during the breeding season and gestation. HPLC data confirmed the presence of high amounts of 5-P-3OH in the feces of redfronted lem...

The red sunßower seed weevil, Smicronyx fulvus LeConte, is a pest of sunßower in the northern and central Plains sunßower production regions. Weevil larvae feed and develop in the sunßower achene dropping to the soil to overwinter. A total of 630 parasitoids emerging from seed weevil larvae recovered fromNorth and SouthDakota andMinnesota from1991 to 1995was identiÞed as Triaspis aequoris Marti...

Three Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented strains were isolated from the rhizospheres of Spathiphyllum plants grown in a compost-amended potting mix. The strains showed biological control activity towards the root-rot plant pathogen Cylindrocladium spathiphylli, and were characterized to determine their taxonomic position. Cells of the strains were non-motile rods, and the strains were oxidase- and...

Trypanosoma spp. of ground squirrels and most other rodents belong to the 3ubgenus Herpetosoma and have been recorded from approximately 80 to 90 different species of rodents throughout the world (Davis, 1952). They are often designated as leurisi-like after the type species, Trypanosoma (Herpetosoma) lewisi (Kent) Laveran & Mesnil. All are very similar in appearance and cannot be differentiate...
