UNLABELLED The northern European taxa of genus Melanostoma Schiner, 1860 (Syrphidae, Diptera) are revised. A longstanding question concerning the number of Melanostoma taxa occurring in northern Europe prompted us to contrast and compare their morphological and molecular variability. Particular uncertainty concerned the putative existence of a sibling species of Melanostoma mellinum, and the id...

The phoronid Phoronopsis albomaculata was collected in subtidal (28– 35 m) sandy sediments in Bahı́a Chatham during a benthic survey designed to describe the biota of Cocos Island (Isla del Coco), Costa Rica, a national park and Human Heritage Site. Occurrence of this widespread species in Cocos Island is the first report of a phoronid for Costa Rican waters and is the second locality recorded f...

A new species of Merizocotyle Cerfontaine, 1894 (Monogenea: Monocotylidae) is described from the nasal tissues of three deep sea rajid skates: the southern thorny skate, Amblyraja doellojuradoi (Pozzi), broadnose skate, Bathyraja brachyurops (Fowler), and yellownose skate, Zearaja chilensis (Guichenot), collected off Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, southwest Atlantic Ocean.

Plastome-genome incompatibility (PGI) is prevalent in several plants including the Zantedeschia species, a worldwide commercial flower crop native to South Africa. Generally, hybrids suffering from PGI appear less vigorous and more susceptible than normal plants. Previous reports revealed that the PGI level in interspecific hybrids is correlated with the relatedness of the parental species in t...

Mutation breeding is the defined approach used for crop production and has played a key role in creation of several varieties. The present research was carried out to induce mutants kodo millet variety CO 3 using physical mutagen (gamma rays) chemical (Ethyl Methane Sulphonate) creating novelty. Seeds were treated with five doses gamma-rays viz., 100 Gy, 200 300 400 500 Gy at BARC, Kalpakam thr...

Çalışma alanı olan Göksu Deltası , Irmağı’nın Silifke–Taşucu arasında denize açıldığı kısımda yer almaktadır. Paradeniz ve Akgöl, deltanın sağında bulunan iki lagün gölüdür.
