ground beetles (family carabidae) with more than 40,000 described species worldwide are one of the most important generalist predators in agroecosystems. because of their habit of feeding on agricultural pests and weed seeds, in this study we tried to assess their biodiversity in agroecosystems of azadshahr region, eastern golestan province. samples were collected for some main crops, using pit...

Wetland ecosystems are highly productive and valued for numerous reasons including wildlife habitat, biodiversity, water quantity quality, human uses. Grazing livestock on wet grasslands can sometimes be controversial due the humidity of but other hand, it plays an important role in grassland preservation. Therefore, we evaluated impact Polish white-backed cattle grazing changes vegetation (13 ...

Thrips species diversity in a Citrus organic orchard the region of Mograne Northeastern Tunisia based on biodiversity parameters (Shannon index, dominance, and equitability) showed existence ten thrips species. Among those species, five are phytophagous: tabaci, angusticeps, Frankliniella occidentalis, Limothrips denticornis, Melanthrips fuscus. The remaining predatory: Aeolothrips tenuicornis,...

Quantitative study of species diversity across different land use units and districts is important to document status of local plant biodiversity, to evaluate impact of management and for planning future management. This study aimed at determining impacts of land use units on species diversity and spatial distribution of species in two districts of Borana zone, Oromia, Ethiopia. Stratification ...

Fish biodiversity largely depends on different environmental factors including water quality parameters. The current study was conducted to investigate the impacts of variables fish at upstream and downstream river Meghna in dry rainy season 2011. Twelve samples 66 were collected from 2 sampling stations during period where 61 finfish species 5 shellfish species. number catch both seasons signi...
