Brewer et al. (2011) recently demonstrated that the generic name Euzonus was being used in both Arthropoda (Diplopoda) and Polychaeta (Opheliidae) systematics and that the arthropod name was the senior synonym. The diplopod name Euzonus Menge, 1854, based on a single species, E. collulum Menge, 1854 from Baltic amber predates Euzonus Grube, 1866, established for E. arcticus Grube, 1866 from the...

Mangrove forests are one of the most productive and bio-diverse wetlands environments on earth. In Malaysia, Forestry Department of Peninsular Malaysia (FDPM) has always been fully committed to the implementation of the sustainable forest management practices and in line with current concerns such as climate change, conservation of biodiversity and Tsunami, have brought about a heightened expec...

Recent studies have hypothesized that differences in elemental composition of zooplankton (N : P ratio) are related to differences in specific growth rate, as increased growth rate requires greater ribosomal RNA, which should result in increased %P and decreased N : l? This hypothesis was tested interspecifically using zooplankton taxa with different specific growth rates and intraspecifically ...

in vitro assessment of the antifungal activities was evaluated in the present study for both aqueous and ethanol extracts prepared from leaves of avicennia marina and rhizophora mucronata . leaves of mangrove species were collected from qeshm and syrik of south-east coast of iran, mangrove forest respectively. antimicrobial tests were carried out through disk diffusion method. minimum fungicida...

To evaluate the effect of dichloromethane fraction (DCM-F) of Rhizophora mucronata on noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) rats and find out the biological action using docking studies. Rats treated post orally DCM-F (100 mg/kg b.wt.) for forty-five days. Different biochemical profiles using blood sample, in addition, the levels of glycolytic enzymes in the liver tissues of animals es...
