in this paper we present thysanus walker, a genus new to the iranian fauna. only one species has been identified in iran: thysanus ater walker, 1840. we illustrate the species morphology of wings, antennae, head, thorax and abdomen.

Intertidal gastropods, Faunus ater (F. ater), were collected from four sampling sites in Peninsular Malaysia. It was found that the concentrations of Zinc (Zn) (mg/kg dry weight) ranged 347.23 to 356.21 for Digestive Caecum (DC), 95.00 100.91 foot, 102.73 109.00 muscle, 42.73 177.72 operculum, 87.57 161.76 remainder, and 24.42 53.96 shell F. ater. Current results indicate intertidal waters Pant...

Ptomaphaminus granophilus n. sp. from Vietnam is described and illustrated. The special subterranean biotope of this species, deep interstices in a granitic blockfield, is emphasized.

The active site of Viviparus ater (mollusc) hemocyanin was investigated using the fact that the binding of dioxygen to the binuclear copper-containing sites of hemocyanins is connected with the appearance of specific dichroic bands which are very sensitive to changes in the structrure and polarity of the environment. Oxy-Viviparus ater hemocyanin exhibits near UV and visible circular dichroism ...

Nesticodes rufipes is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, being strongly associated with humans. However, few behavioral and ecological studies have investigated interspecific interactions between these spiders and insects of medical and veterinary importance. Here, we have investigated prey choice by N. rufipes when two different prey species, Musca domestica and Dermestes ...

Longitudinal vocal records of 26 juvenile male cowbirds from 2 populations (Molothrus ater ater and Molothrus ater artemisiae) were analyzed to look for susceptibility to social influence from either female cowbirds or heterospecifics. Within each population, 1 group of males was individually housed with female conspecifics, and the other with pairs of canaries (Serinus canaria). Evidence was f...
