Methanol extracts of different plants namely, Trichodesma africanum (Boraginaceae), Cleome rupicola (Capparceae) and Ochradenus baccatus (Resedaceae), were tested for larvicidal activity against 4 instar larvae of Aedes caspius and Culex pipiens mosquitoes. All plant extracts tested against Ae. caspius showed 100% mortality at 10μg/ml except the stem of O. baccatus which showed 90% mortality. H...

Relationships between sea urchins and noncrustose macroalgae are typically nonlinear, an abrupt phase shift from a barren to macroalgae-dominated state vice versa happens when the urchin abundance exceeds critical threshold. Here, we have used two mass mortality events as natural experiment study progressive changes dynamics these stable states. In 2009–2010 2018, mortalities decimated populati...
