Bhubaneswar 2Associate Professor, V.S.S.U.T, Burla 3Mtech Student, Civil Engg. Department, C.E.T, Bhubaneswar, Abstract: - In the present research program the status of The Mahanadi watershed is the most developed and pollution of water of a major river namely Mahanadi of Odisha urbanized region in the state of Odisha. The increasing (downstream of Hirakud dam) has been analyzed. The study deterioration of water quality of the watershed is mainly was conducted to assess and ascertain the physico-chemical attributed to the uncontrolled and improper disposal of properties of Mahanadi river water from sixteen different solid and toxic waste from industrial effluents, agricultural water quality monitoring stations of State Pollution Control Board. The analysis was carried out by taking certain runoff and other human activities. This alarming water important water quality determining parameters like pH, pollution not only causing degradation of water quality but Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), also threatens human health and balance of aquatic Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Chloride, Total Dissolved ecosystem, and economic development of the state. Oxygen (TDS), Nitrate, Sulphates, Total Hardness (TH), In the present study, data matrix obtained during 14 years Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Fluoride. Analyzed monitoring program (2000 to 2014) is subjected to different parameters like pH, DO, TH, Chloride, Sulphate and TDS multivariate statistical approach to extract information were found within permissible limit prescribed by IS 10500 about the similarities or dissimilarities between sampling except Nitrate and Fluoride content which exceeds at some sites, and the influences of possible sources on water sites.

  • A Closer Look at the Antennae of the Invasive Halyomorpha Halys: Fine Structure of the Sensilla
    Bulletin of Insectology 72 (2): 187-199, 2019 ISSN 1721-8861 eISSN 2283-0332 A closer look at the antennae of the invasive Halyomorpha halys: fine structure of the sensilla Aya IBRAHIM1,2, Ilaria GIOVANNINI3, Gianfranco ANFORA2,4, Marco Valerio ROSSI STACCONI5, Robert MALEK2,6, Lara MAISTRELLO3, Roberto GUIDETTI3, Roberto ROMANI7 1Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental and Animal Sciences, University of Udine, Italy 2Research and Innovation Center, Fondazione Edmund Mach, Italy 3Department of Life Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy 4Center for Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Trento, Italy 5Department of Horticulture, Oregon State University, USA 6Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, University of Trento, Italy 7Department of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences, University of Perugia, Italy Abstract The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, is an invasive agricultural and urban pest capable of feeding on over 100 species of host plants. The antennae of this bug play an important role not only in detecting food and mates but also in short-range location of conspecifics when aggregating for diapause. The morphology and distribution of antennal sensilla of H. halys were investigated at an ultrastructural level using scanning and transmission electron microscopy approaches. Adults have 5-segmented antennae, made up of a scape, a 2-segmented pedicel and two flagellomeres, while 5th instar nymphs have shorter, 4-segmented antennae, with only one pedicel segment. Five types of sensilla are distinguished, based on their shape, length and basal width and the presence of basal socket and pores: sensilla basiconica (types A, B, C, D and E), sensilla coeloconica, sensilla trichoidea and sensilla chaetica (types A and B).

    OPOLE SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY NATURE JOURNAL No 45 – 2012: 55-64 DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF ALIEN DNA IN MUSEUM SPECIMENS OF HETEROPTERA USING MOLECULAR TECHNIQUES – A POSSIBILITY FOR APPLYING IN * FORENSIC ENTOMOLOGY 1 ALEKSANDRA RAKOWIECKA , JERZY A. LIS Center for Biodiversity Studies, Department of Biosystematics, Opole University, Oleska 22, 45-052 Opole, Poland; 1e-mail: [email protected], http://www.cydnidae.uni.opole.pl ABSTRACT : Studies on nuclear DNA of museum specimens of pentatomoid bugs (Cydnidae, Dinidoridae, Thyreocoridae, and Tessaratomidae) are presented. Sequences of nuclear 28S rDNA subunit were analysed in the aspect of its usefulness in forensic entomology. Results of the study demonstrated that microorganisms and parasites detected by PCR methods can be useful in determining the geographical origin of the host-species with degraded DNA. KEY WORDS : forensic entomology, nuclear DNA, 28S rDNA, Heteroptera, Pentatomoidea, museum specimens, alien DNA. Introduction In last two decades, molecular techniques have been applied in many fields of science, such as phylogenetics, biogeography, medicine or forensic investigations. Nowadays, the analysis of DNA extracted from biological traces is widely used, especially in modern forensic investigations, where a molecular approach to identification of both, victims and criminals, are used to a large extent. Nuclear DNA in particular, seems to be a significant source for such analyses; however, also mitochondrial markers showed good feasibilities in human or animal species identification

Kakati 1, Patricia Kiewhuo 1 and Sapu Changkija 2 1 Department of Zoology, Nagaland University, Lumami, Nagaland 798627, India; [email protected] (L.N.K.); [email protected] (P.K.) 2 Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Nagaland University, Medziphema, Nagaland 797106, India; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 June 2020; Accepted: 19 June 2020; Published: 30 June 2020 Abstract: Located at the north-eastern part of India, Nagaland is a relatively unexplored area having had only few studies on the faunal diversity, especially concerning insects. Although the practice of entomophagy is widespread in the region, a detailed account regarding the utilization of edible insects is still lacking. The present study documents the existing knowledge of entomophagy in the region, emphasizing the currently most consumed insects in view of their marketing potential as possible future food items. Assessment was done with the help of semi-structured questionnaires, which mentioned a total of 106 insect species representing 32 families and 9 orders that were considered as health foods by the local ethnic groups. While most of the edible insects are consumed boiled, cooked, fried, roasted/toasted, some insects such as Cossus sp., larvae and pupae of ants, bees, wasps, and hornets as well as honey, bee comb, bee wax are consumed raw. Certain edible insects are either fully domesticated (e.g., Antheraea assamensis, Apis cerana indica, and Samia cynthia ricini) or semi-domesticated in their natural habitat (e.g., Vespa mandarinia, Vespa soror, Vespa tropica tropica, and Vespula orbata), and the potential of commercialization of these insects and some other species as a bio-resource in Nagaland exists.

Research Article ENVIRONMENTAL FLOWS ALLOCATION IN TWO MAIN DISTRIBUTARIES OF MAHANADI RIVER *Sangitarani Sahoo1, Deepak Khare1, Satyapriya Behera1 and Prabhash K Mishra2 1Water Resources Development and Management, IIT Roorkee 2National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT The environmental flows concept mainly recognizes, needs of fresh water system to maintain the ecological integrity and provide goods and services to society &dependent communities. In the Mahanadi river basin the environmental flow method was first introduced in Chilika Lagoon, downstream of Naraj Barrage, Odisha by World Bank Environment Department. In 2002 the EFA project was successed to integrate key water quality concern, particularly salinity within the lagoon, for functioning the lagoon ecosystem while it was not successed to influence in operation of the Barrage at Naraj. The river system attains zero and very low flows in low flow period due to construction of hydropower generating structures, water retaining structure and withdrawal of water by water users, which possesses a tremendous threat to the environment, ecology & aquatic life. Therefore, a need arises to regulate the reservoirs and barrages for releasing the adequate water in the river throughout the year. Thus, environmental flows assessment is done in Lower Mahanadi sub-basin and its two main distributaries for providing the Environmental Flow Requirements (EFRs), with a range of Low Flow Requirements (LFRs) and High Flow Requirements (HFRs) to be ensured at any circumstances to avoid any degradation of river ecosystem.
