Abstract Australian arboreal mammals are experiencing significant population declines, particularly due to land clearing and resulting habitat fragmentation. The squirrel glider, Petaurus norfolcensis , is a threatened species in New South Wales, with stronghold the Lake Macquarie Local Government Area (LGA) where fragmentation urbanization an ongoing problem for conservation. Here we report on...

This study reports on the molecular identification of fish species from processed products which had a priori been classified as belonging to 5 important species in Iran for human consumption. DNA barcoding using direct sequencing of an approximately 650bp of mitochondrial Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene revealed incorrect labeling of Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel samples. High occurre...

Meat samples of various animal species have been obtained from Giza Governorate's butcher shops, common retail markets, veterinary faculties, Zoo and hospitals. Physical, bacteriological, molecular analysis was carried out on the meat samples. Physical examination showed that typical untypical differed. Bacteriological highest TCC found in horse while least goat meat. The total count S. aureus ...

Members of Nemacheilidae Family, Turcinoemacheilus genus were subjected to molecular phylogenetic analysis in this study. This genus was reported in 2009 to inhabit in Karoon River drainage, in contrary to previous assumption that it was the endemic species in the Basin of Tigris River. It was sampled from three stations placed in different tributaries in Karoon drainage and evaluated to unders...

The habitats of Batillaria multiformis (Near Threatened species) and attramentaria are often overlapping on a mudflat, young individuals two snails were difficult to identify by shell morphology. This is one the causes that study, such as population dynamics species, did not advance. Recently, species identification DNA analysis for B. was developed using PCR-RFLP method. However, only restrict...

Nuclear mitochondrial-like sequences (numts) are copies of mitochondrial DNA that have migrated to the genomic DNA. We present the first characterization of numts in ants, these numts being homologues to a mitochondrial DNA fragment containing loci the 3' portion of the cytochrome oxidase I gene, an intergenic spacer, the tRNA leucine gene and the 5' portion of the cytochrome oxidase II gene. A...

background: the adult female sand flies (diptera: psychodidae) of the subgenus larroussius are important vectors of leishmania infantum (kinetoplastida: tripanosomatidae) in meshkinshahr district, northwest of iran. four phle­boto­mus ( larroussius ) species are present in this area, i.e. phlebotomus ( larroussius ) kandelakii , p. ( la. ) major , p. ( la. ) perfiliewi and p. ( la. ) tobbi . th...

The ATP-dependent PIM1 protease, a Lon-like protease localized in the mitochondrial matrix, is required for mitochondrial genome integrity in yeast. Cells lacking PIM1 accumulate lesions in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and therefore lose respiratory competence. The identification of a multicopy suppressor, which stabilizes mtDNA in the absence of PIM1, enabled us to characterize novel function...

Osteochilus spilurus is one of the native fish in Indonesia. This species from North Lampung has variations body shape with populations Bangka and Belitung. Morphological plasticity genetic variation are potential causes these differences. To confirm this, it necessary to identify molecular using mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) gene. Fish samples had morphological characters that matched des...

Pancorius Simon, 1902 is a relatively large genus of jumping spider family Salticidae and currently contains 42 valid species that are mainly distributed in South East Asia, 11 which recorded from China. A new the Guiyang City southwest China, described under name P. guiyang Yang, Gu & Yu, sp. nov. Detailed descriptions photographs provided. DNA barcodes (a partial fragment mitochondrial cy...
