a survey was conducted to identify parasitoids of vegetable leafminer, liriomyza trifolii (burgess), in shiraz region from april 2004 to september 2005. a total of eight eulophid species, viz. baryscapus impeditus nees*, closterocerus formosus westwood, diaulinopsis arenaria erdos*, diglyphus crassinervis erdos, diglyphus isaea walker, diglyphus pulchripes crawford*, hemiptarsenus zilahisebessi...

Terfezia arenaria is a desert truffle native to the Mediterranean Basin region, highly appreciated for its nutritional and aromatic properties. Despite increasing interest in this truffle, T. not listed as an edible authorized trade European Union. Therefore, our objective was showcase arenaria’s chemical composition volatile profile. The analysis showed that good source of carbohydrates (67%),...

Eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica, Northern hard clams, Mercenaria mercenaria, soft-shell clams, Mya arenaria, and bay scallops, Argopeclen irradians are routinely cultured in shellfish hatcheries throughout the northeastern United States for private sale, public stock enhancement and management programs. The culture process involves spawning adults, rearing the resultant larvae in large t...

Investigations of how we produce and perceive prosodic patterns are not only interesting in their own right but can inform fundamental questions in language research. We here argue that functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in general - and the functional localization approach in particular (e.g., Kanwisher et al., 1997; Saxe et al., 2006; Fedorenko et al., 2010; Nieto-Castañon & Fedoren...
