Methods: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the amount of eugenol, major constituent of clove EO. In addition, larvicidal activity of clove EO and eugenol was evaluated against An. stephensi. Results: The amount of eugenol in clove EO was determined as 67% using HPLC analysis. LC50 and LC90 of clove EO (57.49 and 93.14ppm, respectively) were significantly lower than those of eugenol (86.96 and 128.18 ppm, re- spectively). Conclusion: EO showed more effective than its major component. Considering the lower cost of the essential oil and lower risk in occurrence of resistance in larvae, use of clove EO is preferred as larvicide in comparison with eugenol, against An. stephensi.

    Ecological and Ethnoecological Classification of a Forested Landscape in the Tayal Mrqwang Territories, Taiwan (ROC) by Kevan James Berg A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Kevan J. Berg, May 2013 ABSTRACT ECOLOGICAL AND ETHNOECOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF A FORESTED LANDSCAPE IN THE TAYAL MRQWANG TERRITORIES, TAIWAN (ROC) Kevan James Berg Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Dr. Steven G. Newmaster In landscape ecology, it is widely acknowledged that landscape is as much a social and cultural entity as it is biophysical, and that people and place must be jointly considered to fully understand the evolution of spatial pattern. This thesis explores the overlapping biophysical and human dimensions of landscape in the context of an (i) ecological and (ii) ethnoecological classification on the local landscape of the Tayal Mrqwang indigenous people in north central Taiwan. The goal of the ecological classification was to identify ecosystem types for a ~3000 acre landscape by relating vegetation patterns to gradients of physiography, soil, humidity, light, pixel brightness, and human modification across 76 transect sample plots. Using multivariate analyses, seven ecosystem types were identified, ranging from xeric through submesic pine, bamboo, alder, and laurel forests to mesic evergreen broadleaved and mixed coniferous forests. At the broad scale, ecosystems were distributed along gradients of elevation, soil, humidity and human modification, while factors related to local variability in physiography and soil development were more important at the fine scale (i.e., within elevational ecoregions). Within lower elevation sites in particular, patterns of forest variation and soil development were resonant of ancestral practices, including shifting cultivation, terrace farming, arboriculture, and selective extraction.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The six mite species of the genus Euseius Wainstein from Taiwan are reviewed, including E. ovalis (Evans), E. daluensis sp. nov., E. macaranga sp. nov., E. paraovalis sp. nov., and two species recorded for the first time in Taiwan, E. aizawai (Ehara & Bhandhufalck) and E. circellatus (Wu & Li). Measurements of these species and an identification key for adult females of the six Euseius species from Taiwan are provided. Key words: Phytoseiidae, taxonomy, Taiwan, new species, new record Introduction Euseius Wainstein is a genus of phytoseiid mites mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas (Chant & McMurtry, 2005, 2007). Among the 193 known species (Demite et al., 2016), only E. ovalis has been recorded in Taiwan (Tseng, 1983; Liao et al., 2013). As generalist predators, Euseius mites are considered potential biocontrol agents (McMurtry et al., 2013), although some species have been observed to feed on plant leaves without causing substantial damage (Adar et al., 2012). In Taiwan, E. ovalis has been studied for future use as a biological control agent, especially regarding its response to different food resources and its predator-prey interactions (Shih et al., 1993; Shih & Wang, 1997).

  • Identification of Antimalarial and Larvicidal Compounds
    IDENTIFICATION OF ANTIMALARIAL AND LARVICIDAL COMPOUNDS FROM Trichilia megalantha HARMS AND Trichilia welwitschii C.D.C. (MELIACEAE) BY DORCAS ADENIKE FADARE (MATRIC NO. 58575) B.Sc. (Hons) Chem, MSc. (InOrg. Chem.), M.Phil. Pharmacogosy (UI) A thesis in the Department of Pharmacognosy Submitted to the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ibadan in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D) OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN, IBADAN March, 2017 i ABSTRACT Malaria is the second leading cause of death from infectious diseases in Africa. The global burden of malaria is increasing due to drug-resistant parasites and insecticide- resistant mosquitoes. Meliaceae has been known to possess antimalarial, larvicidal and other properties but many Nigerian Trichilia species have not been investigated. Thus there is dearth of information on the antimalarial and larvicidal activities of Trichilia megalantha (TM) and Trichilia welwitschii (TW). Therefore, this study investigated the antimalarial and larvicidal activities of both plants. Leaf, stem bark and root of TM (FHI 109556) and TW (FHI 109557) were extracted by maceration in methanol. The extracts (100-800 mg/kg) were subjected to in vivo mouse- model 4-day suppressive antimalarial evaluation using Plasmodium berghei ANKA strain. Toxicity was determined in vivo in mice and in vitro using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and brine shrimp lethality (BSL) assays. The larvicidal activities of extracts and compounds were evaluated on Anopheles gambiae larvae. Antioxidant activity was also investigated with 1, 1- diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl radical. Chloroquine, N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET), gallic acid, doxorubicin and etopoxide were used as positive controls in the antimalarial, larvicidal, antioxidant, cytoxicity and BSL assays, respectively.

The Report results from broad consultations carried out with the various sectors of people working on biodiversity. I am very pleased with the publication that depicts an update on biodiversity status, trends, and threats and implications for human well-being, progresses made on implementation of NBSAP and its mainstreaming as well as progress towards achieving Aichi Biodiversity Targets and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Bangladesh is biodiversity rich a country. Our people have traditionally been conserving biodiversity generations-after-generations. Maintaining the richness in biodiversity is very important for supporting the economy of Bangladesh with food supply and livelihoods. To this end, Bangladesh has taken various development initiatives on management of areas important on biodiversity of the country. Bangladesh has been enhancing its support for the conservation and sustainable use of its biodiversity with remarkable outcomes, such as, increase of conserved areas of wetlands, expansion of vegetation cover and reduction of deforestation, as well as, generation of knowledge on biodiversity.

Methods: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the amount of eugenol, major constituent of clove EO. In addition, larvicidal activity of clove EO and eugenol was evaluated against An. stephensi. Results: The amount of eugenol in clove EO was determined as 67% using HPLC analysis. LC50 and LC90 of clove EO (57.49 and 93.14ppm, respectively) were significantly lower than those of eugenol (86.96 and 128.18 ppm, re- spectively). Conclusion: EO showed more effective than its major component. Considering the lower cost of the essential oil and lower risk in occurrence of resistance in larvae, use of clove EO is preferred as larvicide in comparison with eugenol, against An.
