Ossified gastralia, clavicles and sternal ribs are known in a variety of reptilians, including dinosaurs. In sauropods, however, the identity of these bones is controversial. The peculiar shapes of these bones complicate their identification, which led to various differing interpretations in the past. Here we describe different elements from the chest region of diplodocids, found near Shell, Wy...

The effects of wheat bug infestation (Eurygaster spp. and Aelia spp.) on the composition of wheat gluten proteins and its influence on flour technological quality were investigated in the present study. Wheat samples of six wheat varieties, collected from two localities in northern Serbia, were characterized by significantly different level of wheat bug infestation. Composition of wheat gluten ...

Abstract Archaeobotanical investigations at the Roman town of Aelia Mursa, located near Danube frontier in modern day Croatia, have revealed an extraordinary assemblage food remains from a series pits dated to early 2nd century ad . The site yielded wide array economically important remains, including staples such as Hordeum (barley), Panicum miliaceum (broomcorn millet), Triticum aestivum (bre...

The aim of this study was to comparatively, morphometrically and macroanatomically investigate skeleton appendiculare. Atotal 24 goose cadavers were used. Scapula length 107.31 ± 1.05 mm in female geese; it 116.63 0.65 male geese.While the os coracoideum 78.5 0.6 detected as 87 0.8 geese. claviculalength 66.90 0.71 geese 73.39 0.59 determined that both claviculashaped furcula with a distinct cu...

Wheat bugs are widely distributed in various areas of Europe, Asia and North Africa. Species belonging to the genus Eurygaster and Aelia pierce wheat kernels affecting protein quality. The effects of these insects’ feeding activity have been studied mainly in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). This study provides information on the degradation of prolamin proteins (glutenins and gliadins) of b...

This study was carried out to determine tachinid (Diptera: Tachinidae) parasitoids obtained from some hemipterous hosts in Adana, Ankara, Hatay, Konya and Uşak provinces of Türkiye between 2001 2020. For this purpose, adult hemipters were collected perennial arboreal annual herbaceous plants. The samples brought the laboratory cultured on relevant host plant material. As a result study, 11 spec...
