This study provides the first phylogenetic analysis of a large sample of the two largest genera of seed-beetles, Acanthoscelides Schilsky and Bruchidius Schilsky, which mostly feed on legumes (Fabaceae). The goal of this study was to investigate evolutionary patterns in relation to biogeography and host-plant associations. We used three mitochondrial molecular markers and parsimony and Bayesian...

samplings were done in different locations of northeastern iran and different specimens were collected during two years. the specimens belong to 26 different species attributing to 6 families: scuridae (spermophilus fulvus), cricetidae (microtus transcaspicus, microtus paradoxus, blanfordimys afghanus, chionomys nivalis, ellobius talpinus, ellobius fuscocapillus, cricetulus migratorius), calomy...

Bruchidius atrolineatus (pic) (Ba) is one of the most dangerous pests seeds cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp). The infestation begins in fields crops and continues stocks where damage can be considerable absence any protective measure. importance these justifies development appropriate, less expensive easily applicable peasant struggles. A recommended ash test for traditional storage was evalu...

Abstract Oreopanax fulvus is a species endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, assessed as rare and vulnerable in states of Paraná Rio Grande do Sul, respectively. This adverse situation requires conservation actions that must be supported by understanding its autecology. We aimed identify phenological patterns O. populations from two Araucaria Rainforest remnants Paraná. Monthly phenology mo...
