T. KOREN: Prvi nalaz vrste Trox perrisii Fairmaire, 1868. u Hrvatskoj. Entomol. Croat. Vol. 19. Num. 1–4: 31–35. Jedna jedinka vrste Trox perrisii skupljena je u sjeverozapadnoj Hrvatskoj na planini Ivanščici. Ovo je prvi nalaz ove vrste za Hrvatsku pa popunjava prazninu u distribuciji između Slovenije i Mađarske. Priložen je i nadopunjeni popis vrsta iz porodice Trogidae koje dolaze u Hrvatsko...

Synergism and antagonism impact of different plant metabolites present in crude fruit extract of Tribulus terrestris 'the herbal Viagra' have been studied. Variability in plant composition, biomass and metabolites concentration in different modules was significantly contributed by spatial factor. However the edhaphic parameters also changes with both spatial and temporal factors significantly. ...

1. Sensory neural units responding to sinusoidal stretching of the body wall were studied in the earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris L. 2. A phasic stretch-sensitive unit found in segmental nerve I responded optimally to stretching at frequencies of 4-6/min. 3. The number of spikes per stretch and the spike frequency in the unit were directly related to the amplitude of the applied stretch within a...

The genus Tribulus belongs to the family Zygophyllaceae comprises approximately 25 species that grow as prostrate. This study will collect terrestris L. and subramanyamii P. Singh, G.S. Giri & V. Singh. analyzed for their macroscopic, microscopic phytochemical properties. Selected plant were collected from three geographical locations in Maharashtra State, India. To confirm quality authenti...

Thirty fungal species grown on Cichorium intybus L. root extract as a sole carbon source, were screened for the production of exo-inulinase activities. The thermophile Thielavia terrestris NRRL 8126 and mesophile Aspergillus foetidus NRRL 337 gave the highest production levels of inulinases I & II at 50 and 24 ºC respectively. Yeast extract and peptone were the best nitrogen sources for highest...

The fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis is typically perpetuated in a cycle with red foxes as definitive hosts and various rodent species as intermediate hosts. In this study, foxes were baited with a highly efficient drug against cestodes (praziquantel) in 5 blocks of 1 km2. Voles, Arvicola terrestris, the most abundant intermediate host species, were trapped in the 5 baited blocks and in...

Foraging specialization allows social insects to more efficiently exploit resources in their environment. Recent research on honeybees suggests that specialization on pollen or nectar among foragers is linked to reproductive physiology and sensory tuning (the Reproductive Ground-Plan Hypothesis; RGPH). However, our understanding of the underlying physiological relationships in non-Apis bees is ...
