Abstract Spondylidinae is a minor subfamily of Cerambycidae with around 100 species in 20 genera. The tribes Asemini and Spondylidini, both salient owing to vectors invaders into the limelight phytosanitary authorities, constitute “spondylidine branch”. Although few branch were being included some higher taxonomic level studies, phylogenetic relationships within taxa have never been evaluated f...

Objective: Acanthus syriacus (AS) is one of the valuable herbal plants with immunomodulatory potentials. The aim of this study is to assemble a phytochemical investigation of A. syriacus exploring its anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties...

Abstract Due to the rise in substitution and adulteration of herbal products, as well lack genetic information on Hibiscus plants, more molecular markers are needed understand diversity avoid their misidentification. There many allelic variants functional genes other which control respective phenotypes characteristics. Identifying alleles desired trait by determining diversification through gen...

There is increasing interest in using natural enemies to control pests urban green spaces, but this often hampered by a lack of information on particular pest groups. Here we provide an assessment for the first time seasonal population coccid species and its Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murray) Parl, 1864. The main pest, Planococcus vovae (Nasonov, 1909), attacked parasitoids predators. Accordi...

Spadefoot toads (Pelobates) and Parsley frogs (Pelodytes) are an enigmatic group of Western Palaearctic anurans. In the genus Pelobates, a fossorial lifestyle has enforced a conserved bauplan that masks their intraspecifi c evolutionary history. We used partial sequences of the mitochondrial 16S and 12S rRNA genes to infer a paleobiogeographic scenario of speciation events in these two anuran g...
