The chaetotaxy and structures of the head, thorax and abdominal segments VIII and X of the first 3 instars of A&U aegqpti (Linnaeus) and An hUthi Huang, are tabulated and illustrated. Characters are tabulated that will permit identification of the 4 larval stages within each species and differentiate the first 3 larval instars of aegqp;ti and beti& A serial acquisition of certain thoracic setae...

Urban areas are a complex combination of various land-cover types, and show a variety of land-use structures and spatial layouts. Furthermore, the spectral similarity between built-up areas and bare land is a great challenge when using high spatial resolution remote sensing images to map urban areas, especially for images obtained in dry and cold seasons or high-latitude regions. In this study,...

Background Athletes demonstrate major adaptative changes in their hearts with high level of exercise. However the long term consequences of endurance training were not completely understood. We aimed to to explore the effect of long term endurance exercise on cardiac morphology and function, and diffuse fibrosis, and assess the significance of any discovered changes (correlation with documented...

Overall, Ellis's book is quite accessible in that it provides context for the reader in each of the chapters and consistently pOints out how both his and other studies fit into particular paradigms and address (or neglect to address) particular issues. In spite of a multitude of typographical errors, which can be quite disconcerting, the book invites the reader to participate in current SLA deb...

The developmental stages [4] of the chick [5] embryo were examined by Viktor Hamburger [6] and Howard L. Hamilton [7] in ?A Series of Normal Stages in the Development of the Chick Embryo,? published in the Journal of Morphology [8] in 1951. These stages were published to standardize the development of the chick [5] based on varying laboratory conditions and genetic differences. The stages Hambu...

In order to determine genetic variability among 33 isolates of Fusarium semitectum, morpho- logical and molecular studies were carried out. Isolates from different paddy fields in the north of Iran were separated from each other in four morphotype groups. The isolates showed a high level of variation in aerial mycelium, color of colony, number of septa and growth rate on potato dextrose agar (P...

Characterizing plant functional diversity is essential to decipher community assembly rules and ecosystem functioning. Most studies focused on above-ground traits whereas the analysis of root lags far behind. We analyzed structure fine (< 2 mm) diameter distribution at level as an indicator morphological diversity, hypothesized that shape provide insights types exploration strategies. tested th...
