Gynaikothrips uzeli (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is a minuscule insect species, which forms galls, is subsocial, and parthenogenetic. It is associated with Ficus benjamina L. (Moraceae) and has a pantropical occurrence. The paucity of genetic studies on the order Thysanoptera led us to use inter-simple sequence repeat molecular marker to assess intra- and inter-gall, as well as intra- and in...

field trials with ficus benjamina l.were conducted at the experimental farm of faculty of agriculture, university azad jiroft in 2012 growth seasons. the aim of this work is to study the effect of foliar application with gibberellic acid (ga3) and benzyladenine (ba) at 0, 100 and 200 mg.l-1 on the vegetative growth and photosynthetic pigments of ficus benjamina plants. the obtained results show...

Artykuł porusza problematykę retoryczności kolekcji w świetle debiutanckiej powieści angielskiego pisarza i eseisty Johna Fowlesa Kolekcjoner (1963). Na wstępie uzasadniono sposób rozumienia pojęcia retoryczność jako swoistego doświadczenia kulturowego oparciu o poststrukturalistyczną teorię literatury Adama Regiewicza oraz przy postrzeganiu świadectwa katalogowania, według Umberto Eco. W artyk...

Although the genus Sycophila has broad host preferences, some species are specifically associated with figs as nonpollinator wasps. Because of their sexual dimorphism, morphological plasticity, cryptic mating behaviour and poorly known biology, species identifications are often uncertain. It is particularly difficult to match conspecific females and males. In this study, we employed two molecul...
