the bottom trawl selectivity parameters (22mm cod-end mesh size) were determined for saurida undosquamis , mullus barbatus , upeneus pori , and pagellus erythrinus along karatas coasts of turkey in northeastern mediterranean waters during fishing season for the year 2002-2003. the lengths at first capture (l 50 ) values for s. undosquamis , m. barbatus , u. pori and p. erythrinus were 12.57, 9....

Objective: Liver cancer is one of the most common causes death, with reduced survival rates. The development new chemotherapeutic agents essential to find effective cytotoxic drugs that give minimum side effects surrounding healthy tissues. main objective present study was evaluate and mechanism cell death induced by crude diethyl ether extract Xylocarpus mouccensis on human hepatocellular carc...

Predation plays a major role in shaping prey behaviour. Temporal patterns of predation risk have been shown to drive daily activity and foraging patterns in prey. Yet the ability to respond to temporal patterns of predation risk in environments inhabited by highly diverse predator communities, such as rainforests and coral reefs, has received surprisingly little attention. In this study, we inv...

Population parameters were estimated for goatfish (Upeneus sulphureus, Cuvier, 1829) as a small size and abundant species in the Persian Gulf ecosystem. A method of Tropfish R package based on length frequencies analysis was used. A total of 520 fish samples were taken monthly from landing stations in the coastal area of Iranian Waters in the Persian Gulf (Bushehr coasts) from January 2017 to D...

Members of the order Psittaciformes (parrots and cockatoos) are among the most long-lived and endangered avian species. Comprehensive data on lifespan and breeding are critical to setting conservation priorities, parameterizing population viability models, and managing captive and wild populations. To meet these needs, we analyzed 83, 212 life history records of captive birds from the Internati...

Twenty-nine new limonoids-named xylomolins A₁-A₇, B₁-B₂, C₁-C₂, D-F, G₁-G₅, H-I, J₁-J₂, K₁-K₂, L₁-L₂, and M-N, were isolated from the seeds of the mangrove plant, Xylocarpus moluccensis. Compounds 1-13 are mexicanolides with one double bond or two conjugated double bonds, while 14 belongs to a small group of mexicanolides with an oxygen bridge between C1 and C8. Compounds 15-19 are khayanolides...
