The first Turkish record of Opopanax chironius (L.) W.D.J. Koch was firstly collected from Tekirdağ province in 1969. morphological description the species “Flora Turkey and East Aegean Islands” written based on these specimens. has not been for along time untilday.

Plant traits associated with alien invasiveness may also distinguish rare from common native species. To test this, we grew 23 native (9 common, 14 rare) and 18 alien (8 common, 10 rare) herbaceous species in Switzerland from six plant families under nutrient-addition and competition treatments. Alien and common species achieved greater biomass than native and rare species did overall respectiv...

two species of tachinidae, masicera sphingivora (robineau & desvoidy) and bithia glirina (rondani), were collected from pupae and larvae of hyles euphorbiae (l.) (lep.: sphingidae) and chamaesphecia schizoceriformis kolenati (lep.: sesiidae) respectively. masicera sphingivora belongs to the subfamily exoristinae and has mostly been reared from the larvae of sphingidae, especially the genus hyle...

Theory has recognized a combination of niche and neutral processes each contributing, with varying importance, to species coexistence. However, long-term persistence of rare species has been difficult to produce in trait-based models of coexistence that incorporate stochastic dynamics, raising questions about how rare species persist despite such variability. Following recent evidence that rare...

This study focuses on Anguilliformes specimens revising which collected during 2006-08 in some Iranian museums. For this study, all museum samples from Iranian coastal waters of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea were investigated. The results indicated that species diversity in the Iranian waters can be classified into six families of Anguiliformes (Eels and Morays fishes). A total of 11 species ...
