Biodiversity and structure of the benthic macrofauna communities were studied in the southeast the Caspian Sea (Golestan Province – Iran) during one year from October 2014 to September 2015. Seasonal samplings were done at 6 stations in 3 transects. Depth, temperature, salinity, pH, E.C., total organic matter and grain size were measured. More than 4,037 individuals belonging to five orders, Po...

The Diamantina Plateau is located in the central region of Espinhaço Range, State Minas Gerais, which dominated by campo rupestre formations. We describe a new species Lippia L., endemic to Plateau, and provide an annotated checklist identification key for 17 genus occurring area. raoniana P.H.Cardoso & Salimena sp. nov. mainly distinguished its ovate leaves with adaxial abaxial surfaces de...

This study was conducted for extensive and systemic investigation of anatomical, palynological seed morphological properties two endemic Noccaea species, naturally growing in Turkey. Independent sample T-test box plot were carried out using quantitative characters the studied species. The anatomical results showed that species had similar characteristics, though there significant differences ro...

The copepod Nemesissanthadevii sp. nov. (Siphonostomatoida: Eudactylinidae), which is parasitizing the gill filaments of Coral catshark Atelomycterus marmoratus (Anonymous (Bennett), 1830) off Kota Kinabalu waters, Malaysia, described and illustrated in this article. new species Nemesis santhadevii prominently differs from its congeners following features: (1) cephalothorax sub-circular 1.3 tim...

We describe a new Hoya species from Central Kalimantan, H. buntokensis , and subspecies of wallichii West subsp. tenebrosa . is part group four that form specialised leaf structures harbouring ants (here defined as megadomatia), it most similar to undulata differs in lamina margin (flat vs undulate); shape corona lobes outer processes (fan shaped elliptic), the pollinarium morphology (corpuscul...

in the present research work, influence of fleawort (plantago ovate l.) seed hydrocolloid at three concentration level (0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%) was investigated on physicochemical, textural and sensory characteristics of low fat yoghurt. the treated yoghurt samples were compared with a positive (3% fat) and negative (0.2%) control sample after 1, 7 and 15 days of storage. fleawort seed hydrocolloid...

Symbiosis represents close and long-term interactions—which can be mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic—between two different taxa. Symbiotic associations play a pivotal role in accelerating eukaryotic evolution diversification. However, the Proterozoic fossil record of symbiosis is rarely documented despite abundance eukaryotes their accelerated diversification Neoproterozoic. The scarcit...

In this study, the relationship among four species of Polygonum (including P. hyrcanicum (three samples), P. persicaria, P. avicular, and P. hydropiper) was investigated by GC profiling. Furthermore, the major compounds of the ethylic ether extract of P. hyrcanicum were identified by GC/MS as: α-bisabolol (17.5%), cedrol (15.9%), sesquisabinene hydra...
