This study aimed to analyze the effect of pollution caused by stone quarries on the morpho-anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology of a medicinal wild bramble Rubus plicatus Weihe & Nees. Samples were collected from two natural protected areas: Iron Gates Natural Park and Jiu Gorge National Park, both located in the southwestern part of Romania, and...

The cuticle is the interface between an animal and its environment; thus, it has a special importance. In Arthropods, the cuticle is not uniform, having numerous formations, which is also the case of epigeic terrestrial isopods. Our study presents data on cuticle surface morphology, obtained with a scanning electron microscope, of an endemic terres...

The stone crayfish is a native European freshwater species with significant population declines caused by anthropogenic pressure onto its habitats, climate change and spreading of non-indigenous invasive crayfish and their pathogens (e.g., Aphanomyces astaci). We present the first record of an Austropotamobius torrentium population in a small strea...

This study presents a monitoring of vegetative structure of some species from the Crisuri Rivers basin ecosystem, in order to identify a possible accumulation of pharmaceuticals and metabolites in this area. The research was part from a complex project which was carried out to survey the pharmaceuticals in water, sediment, fishes and macrophytes wi...

The present work refers to the study of a community of soil-surface arthropods in a forest established through territorial arrangement in the area of Borod (Bihor County). Invertebrates were determined after collected from 5 habitats with the help of the Barber traps. A total of 348 invertebrates were collected, belonging to 16 different taxa. In h...

This paper has the aim to study the macrozoobenthic invertebrate communities from 3 semipermanent ponds around Arginesi village, Mehedinti County. In the three ponds we have found a number of nine macrozoobenthic invertebrate species. The density of the individuals is not very high, because the ponds are shallow and this fact determine a low oxigen...

This paper deals with the study of the macrolepidoptera community in the area of Săcădat village. The study was made during may and october 2006. The investigate habitate was a grassland where formerly agricultural crops were raised. During the agricultural period the land was intense treated with pesticides, but in the last 15 years, the agricultu...

During the present study we wanted to evaluate the diseases and pests of the ornamental tree species from University and Balcescu parks. From these two parks we have collected samples in three periods of the year – may, June and September. The samples consist from attacked leaves of 16 species of ornamental tree and shrub species.
