Impact of Climatic Change on Mosquito Distribution in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, North-Central Nigeria
2018
Climate changes have been widely associated with the development mosquito population and therefore help spread diseases, the need to continually check the diversity of the mosquitoes in Nigeria cannot be overemphasis. Indoor resting mosquitoes were collected in the University of Abuja Campus using Pyrethrum spray insecticide, climatic data were determined using daily weather report software on Nokia Ash 230 phone. Of the three hundred and ninety-eight (398) mosquito species encountered, they include; Anopheles gambiae 137 (34.42 %), Anopheles arabiensis 98 (24.62 %), Anopheles funestus 67 (16.83 %), Anopheles rufipes 60 (15.09 %), Culex sp 34 (8.54 %) and Aedes aegypti 2(0.50 %). Monthly ab…

Karyotype dispersal of the common lizard Zootoca vivipara (Lichtenstein, 1823) in eastern and northeastern Fennoscandia
2015
The wide-ranging Eurasian common lizard Zootoca vivipara (Lichtenstein, 1823) is remarkably uniform morphologically but highly varied in its karyotype. Previous studies have revealed two distinctly different chromosomal forms of Z. v. vivipara in the Baltic basin. Moreover, a zone of secondary contact between these forms has been localized on the southern Baltic Sea seashore. Intraspecific karyotype diversity for Z. vivipara and new zones of secondary contact have recently been suggested for other parts of the Baltic Sea seashore. We studied the karyotype of Z. vivipara in central, western and northern parts of Finland. All the individuals karyotyped represented the Russian form of Z. v. vi…

Differences in composition between the ‘neck’ (a) and abdominal (b) fluids of wood tiger moths. Neck fluids have a richer chemical profile, with their main compounds being carboxylic acids (see Table II in Supplementary Material 5). Photos: Janne Valkonen.
Influence of Cognettia sphagnetorum (Enchytraeidae) on birch growth and microbial activity, composition and biomass in soil with or without wood ash
2001
In this laboratory study using microcosms with seedlings of silver birch (Betula pendula), we explored whether Cognettia sphagnetorum (Enchytraeidae) can retain its important role of accelerating decomposition processes in soils and stimulating primary production under disturbance. We established systems with or without wood ash amendment (first-order disturbance) in the soil, either in the presence or absence of C. sphagnetorum. To test whether the systems treated with wood ash are more sensitive to an additional disturbance than the ash-free systems, the microcosms were later on disturbed by drought. To determine the influence of two disturbances on the enchytraeids and populations of oth…
Investigation of fungicidal activity of 3-piperazine-bis(benzoxaborole) and its boronic acid analogue
2014
3-Piperazine-bis(benzoxaborole) and its bis(phenylboronic acid) analogue were investigated in terms of their fungicidal activity. The study was carried out against five filamentous fungi: Aspergillus terreus, Fusarium dimerum, Fusarium solani, Penicillium ochrochloron and Aspergillus niger. 3-Piperazine-bis(benzoxaborole) revealed higher inhibitory activity towards the examined strains than standard antibiotic (amphotericin B), whereas bis(phenylboronic acid) proved to be inactive. The study unequivocally showed that the presence of the heterocyclic benzoxaborole system is essential for antifungal action of the examined compounds.
New solutions in grain protection against fusariosis
2014
Fuzariozy zbóż wywoływane są przez fitopatogenne grzyby strzępkowe rodzaju Fusarium, które przyczyniają się do strat gospodarczych, co wynika z ich patogenności i toksynotwórczości. W uprawach zbóż obniżają plon ziarna i pogorszają jego jakość, a zwłaszcza zdolność kiełkowania i parametry wypiekowe. Głównymi sprawcami chorób pszenicy są grzyby gatunków: F. culmorum, F. graminearum, F. nivale, F. avenaceum, F. sporotrichioides, F. poae, F. oxysporum i F. verticillioides. Do ich zwalczania stosuje się często chemiczne środki grzybobójcze, które mimo wysokiej skuteczności i łatwości stosowania nie cieszą się uznaniem, ze względu na zagrożenie bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego konsumenta spowodowane p…
Frequency-dependent flight activity in the colour polymorphic wood tiger moth
2015
Predators efficiently learn to avoid one type of warning signal rather than several, making colour polymorphisms unexpected. Aposematic wood tiger moth males Parasemia plantaginis have either white or yellow hindwing coloration across Europe. Previous studies indicate that yellow males are better defended from predators, while white males have a positively frequency-dependent mating advantage. However, the potential frequency-dependent behavioural differences in flight between the morphs, as well as the role of male-male interactions in inducing flying activity, have not been previously considered. We ran an outdoor cage experiment where proportions of both male morphs were manipulated to t…
