Microevolutionary processes in isolated populations of terrestrial vertebrates with an example on squamate reptiles

Knowledge on distribution, structure and history of origin of isolated animal populations has an important value for solution of fundamental problems of zoogeography, systematics, phylogeny and evo lution theory as well as for biodiversity conservation. Kazakhstan is a key area to study taxonomy, zoogeography and origin of many of squamate taxa. Complex Pliocene-Pleistocene history of relief and climate and accordingly current great landscape diversity of Kazakhstan are the reasons of presence of a number of isolated herp populations here both poor studied and still unknown. Some populations belong to rare, locally distributed and narrow endemic forms included to the Red Data Book of Kazakhstan. In the framework of present project a set of fieldworks directed to detection and comprehensive investigation of the isolated populations will be carry out within a wide area of South Altay, Junggarian Alatau and Tien-Shan mountains divided with Zaissan Lake, Alakol Lake and Ily River intermountain depressions (Eastern and Southeastern Kazakhstan). The main methods for determination of isolated populations will be comparative morphology and molecular genetics. GIS and Remote Sensing Data will be used for modeling of their ecological niches. ...

Effect of different bloods(sheep, frog, goat, camel) on sextual maturity and of coccon of oriental leech(Hirudo orientalis)

In recent years, leeches have been used to treat some diseases, extract many enzymes and substances that are effective in treating diseases.This research is aimed at determining the aim blood for the growth and survival of oriental leech. For this purpose, 240 leeches with an average age of one week and an average weight of 0/1±0/04 in 4 treatments (feeding on goat, camel, sheep and frog blood) and each treatment with 3 repetitions were divided into 10 liter plastic containers. To feed the leeches with frog blood, 100 frogs were prepare. To feed the rest of the leeches, the required blood was prepared from the slaughterhouse sodium heparin was added to the blood and the container was shaken continuously. To feed the leeches, the blood reached a temperature of 37 to38 °c .For the first 48 the water in the containers was changed twice. Re-feeding was performed one month after the previous feeding and in 6 steps. The results of the experiment showed that the growth and survival of leech fed on goat blood was significantly higher than the treatment of frog blood (p <0.05). Also, the increase in the weight of camel-fed treatment did not significantly differ from that treated with sheep's blood (p ˃0.05). There was no significant difference in mortality between treatments fed with camel and sheep blood (p ˃ 0.05). The number of cocoons and larvae produced in goat blood-fed treatment was significantly different from frog blood treatment (p <0.05). Therefore, according to the research findings, it is recommended that leeches be fed on the blood of mammals such as goats and not on the blood of frogs. ... [more]

Distribution and Current Status of the European Souslik ( Spermophilus Citellus L.) in Sofia Valley...

April 2014 · Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment

In the last decades the situation of the European souslik in Bulgaria is undergoing substantial changes towards reduction of inhabited territories and extinction in a number of formerly inhabited areas, which respectively changed its conservation status. At the same time, there is a definite shortage of detailed data concerning the situation of this species in many regions of the country. The ... [Show full abstract] present research determines the species' situation in the study area –Sofia valley and its adjacent territories. A distribution map of the species is elaborated, and the distribution changes dating from the middle of the past century till present day are analyzed. An assessment of the contemporary population status in the study area is made, based on relative population density and on the sizes of inhabited areas. The data obtained allowed the potential risk factors to be estimated and a number of measures for monitoring and protection of the species to be proposed.

Ultra-high temperature ablation behavior of MoAlB ceramics under an oxyacetylene flame

June 2019 · Journal of the European Ceramic Society

The ultra-high temperature ablation of a polycrystalline, fully dense, predominantly single phase MoAlB ceramic discs under an oxyacetylene flame is examined. The linear ablation rate decreases from 1.3 μm/s during the first 30 s to - 0.7 μm/s after 60 s when the surface temperature reached about 2050 °C (with a flame temperature around 3000 °C). Up to 60 s, the MoAlB is ablation resistant due to ... [Show full abstract] the formation of a protective and viscous surface Al2O3 layer. As the ablation time is prolonged, the protective Al2O3 scale becomes porous and is almost fully destroyed at the central ablation region after 120 s. This accelerates the formation of large amounts of volatile species (mainly B and Mo oxides), resulting in a reduction in the ablation resistance.

Efect of Plant Spacing on Yield and Yield Attributes of Maize Hybrids

September 2016

Manoj Sharma

The study was conducted at experimental ields of the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kapurthala. The experiment was laid out in a 6 strip plots with plot size of 48 m2 including 2 hybrids (PMH 1 and DKC 9125) at 3 plant population densities comprising of 55,555, 83,333 and 1,11,111 plants/ha with the objective of observing the efect of plant spacing on yield attributes and yield of maize hybrids. The yield ... [Show full abstract] attributing factors as number of rows per cob, number of grains per row, cob girth and cob length were determined and inally the yield was recorded for both the hybrids. In case of DKC 9125 the only factor contributing to increase in cob yield and grain yield per unit area was the number of plants grown in the area, so the maximum yield was obtained at 15 cm plant spacing whereas, in case of PMH 1, both yield attributing factors (cob length and plant spacing) ultimately led to increase in grain yield. At 20 cm plant spacing the number of plants were reduced but increase in cob length at wider plant spacing nulliied the efect of lesser plants grown per unit area. It was due to the reason that increase in cob length did not occur proportionately to the reduction in plant population. Hence, PMH 1 hybrid gave maximum cob yield and grain yield at 20 cm plant spacing.

Beresford L. Cadogan

Matacil® (aminocarb)_180F flowable insecticide mixed in both water and insectide diluent ID585 and Matacil 1 · 8D oil-soluble concentrate (OSC) mixed in ID585 were sprayed aerially at 70 g a.i./1 · 51 of spray mix/ha in two applications to control spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.). The spray droplet density on Kromekote cards, the spray volume recovered on glass slides, larval ... [Show full abstract] population reductions and host tree defoliation were compared. The data indicate that Matacil 180F was as effective in controlling budworm populations and protecting the foliage of host trees as Matacil 1 · 8D and that the aqueous mix was as efficacious as the ID585 mix.
