Effects of initial size on the growth and survival of a freshwater fish, Chondrostoma nasus, were tested in a field survey, where individually tagged larvae were introduced into a potential nursery habitat. Characteristics of individual daily growth trajectories were utilized as a basis to explain growth, as well as survival patterns, in relation to ontogeny. Initial size only affected growth r...

The taxonomy of the potamid genus Hainanpotamon Dai, 1995, from Vietnam, Laos, Hainan Island (China) and, purportedly, Okinawa Island (Japan) is reviewed. The type species, Potamon (Potamon) orientale (Parisi, 1916), is redescribed and a lectotype designated. In addition, three new species are described. The poorly known species Potamon (Geothelphusa) globosum Parisi, 1916, is assigned to Haina...

From the underground parts of Thalictrum orientale Boiss., a new phenolic compound 1 was isolated in addition to one known cyanoglycoside, lithospermoside (2). For the structure elucidation of all compounds, 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques (DEPT, COSY, HMBC, HSQC) and MS (HR-MALDI) were used. The structure of the new compound was established as 2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-nitroethane-4'-O-[beta-xylopyranosy...

Five new species of Hypseloecus viz., Hypseloecus acutus sp. nov., Hypseloecus articulatus sp. nov., Hypseloecus belli sp. nov., Hypseloecus orientale sp. nov. and Hypseloecus spinosus sp. nov. are described from India. The genus is recorded for the first time from India collected on hemiparasitic plants of the genera Dendrophthoe and Viscum (Santalales). A key to identification of the five spe...

this study was designed to examine the chemical composition and in-vitro antioxidant activity of the essential oil and methanolic extract of teucrium orientale subsp. taylori. the gc and gc–ms analysis of the essential oil resulted in determination of 40 components representing 96.4% of the oil. the major constituents of the oil were linalool (28.6%), caryophyllene oxide (15.6%), 1,8-cineol (4....

INTRODUCTION Lignans and flavonoids are widely distributed phenolics in the plant kingdom. Aryltetralin type lignans (podophyllotoxin derivatives) as the major secondary metabolites of Linum species play an important role in the production of chemotherapy drugs. In the present study, lignans and flavonoid glycosides from aerial parts of Linum mucronatum subsp. orientale were isolated and identi...
