  • Diversity of Spiders from Zolambi Region of Chandoli National Park
    IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) e-ISSN: 2278-3008, p-ISSN:2319-7676. Volume 10, Issue 2 Ver. 1 (Mar -Apr. 2015), PP 30-33 www.iosrjournals.org Diversity of Spiders from Zolambi Region of Chandoli National Park Dr. Suvarna More Dept. of Zoology P. V. P. Mahavidyalaya, Kavathe Mahankal, Dist. -Sangli. (MS), India 416405 Abstract: Diversity of spiders from Zolambi region of Chandoli National Park in Western Ghats is studied for the first time. A total of 90 species belonging to 55 genera and 19 families are recorded from the study area during 2011-2013 with a dominance of Araneid, Salticid and Lycosid spiders. Key words: Spider diversity, Western Ghats I. Introduction Spiders comprise one of the largest orders of animals. The spider fauna of India has never been studied in its entirety despite of contributions by many arachnologists since Stoliczka (1869). The pioneering contribution on the taxonomy of Indian spiders is that of European arachnologist Stoliczka (1869). Review of available literature reveals that the earliest contribution by Blackwall (1867); Karsch (1873); Simon (1887); Thorell (1895) and Pocock (1900) were the pioneer workers of Indian spiders. They described many species from India. Tikader (1980, 1982), Tikader, described spiders from India. Tikader (1980) compiled a book on Thomisidae spiders of India, comprising two subfamilies, 25 genera and 115 species. Pocock (1900) and Tikader (1980, 1987) made major contributions to the Indian Arachnology, have high lightened spider studies to the notice of other researcher. Tikader (1987) also published the first comprehensive list of Indian spiders, which included 1067 species belonging to 249 genera in 43 families.

    Georgian Country and Culture Guide მშვიდობის კორპუსი საქართველოში Peace Corps Georgia 2017 Forward What you have in your hands right now is the collaborate effort of numerous Peace Corps Volunteers and staff, who researched, wrote and edited the entire book. The process began in the fall of 2011, when the Language and Cross-Culture component of Peace Corps Georgia launched a Georgian Country and Culture Guide project and PCVs from different regions volunteered to do research and gather information on their specific areas. After the initial information was gathered, the arduous process of merging the researched information began. Extensive editing followed and this is the end result. The book is accompanied by a CD with Georgian music and dance audio and video files. We hope that this book is both informative and useful for you during your service.

  • Tersilochinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) of Israel. Part 1
    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 48 (2), pp. 113–121 (2 July 2018) This contribution is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Dan Gerling, a scientist, a colleague and a friend Tersilochinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) of Israel. Part 1 ANDREY I. KH A L ai M Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia, and Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas, Cd. Victoria, Mexico. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Tersilochinae fauna of Israel is reviewed. Five genera with nine species are found to occur in Israel: Aneuclis brevicauda (Thomson), A. incidens (Thom- son), Diaparsis gerlingi n. sp., D. nitida Horstmann, D. frontella (Holmgren), Ge lanes clavulatus Khalaim & Blank, G. simillimus Horstmann, Palpator turpi- lucricupidus Khalaim and Phradis interstitialis (Thomson). Two more genera, Prob les Förster and Tersilochus Holmgren, are formally recorded here from Is- rael but excluded from the present paper and will be treated separately. KEYWORDS: Ichneumonidae, Tersilochinae, Middle East, fauna, new species, new records, parasitoids, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION Tersilochinae is a moderately large subfamily of ichneumonid wasps of world- wide distribution. It comprises approximately 500 described species, with 190 spe- cies in 13 genera known to occur in Europe (Yu et al. 2016; Khalaim & Várkonyi 2018). Most host records of Tersilochinae are from larvae of Coleoptera, mostly of the families Curculionidae, Chrysomelidae and Nitidulidae, but some tersi lochines are known as parasitoids of xyelid sawflies (Hymenoptera: Xyelidae) in staminate pine cones, gall-forming Pontania spp. (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) and leaf- mining Eriocraniidae (Lepidoptera) (Yu et al. 2016; Khalaim & Várkonyi 2018). Virtually nothing was known about the Tersilochinae of Israel before commen - cement of this study.

  • The Dissemination of Magnitotactic Microorganisms in the Water Reservoirs of Georgia
    Russian Journal of Biological Research, 2018, 5(1) Copyright © 2018 by Academic Publishing House Researcher s.r.o. Published in the Slovak Republic Russian Journal of Biological Research Has been issued since 2014. E-ISSN: 2413-7413 2018, 5(1): 6-9 DOI: 10.13187/ejbr.2018.1.6 www.ejournal23.com The Dissemination of Magnitotactic Microorganisms in the Water Reservoirs of Georgia Magda D. Davitashvili a , *, Nana K. Natsvlishvili a, Gela S. Azikuri a a Iakob Gogebashvili Telavi State University, Georgia Abstract A search for magnetotactic bacteria was conducted in several water reservoirs of Georgia. At least five species of magnitotactic microorganisms reacting to geomagnetic field have been found. The majority of the organisms move in northern direction. Light and electron microscopic studies of the morphological features of these microorganisms have indicated that all magnetotactic cells contain magnetic domains, so-called magnetosomes. The shape, dimensions and intracellular guantity of these organeles are species – specific. Keywords: magnitotactic microorganisms, magnetic domains, magnetosomes, magnetotaxis, eutrophic lakes, microaerophiles, obligate anaerobes, biogenic magnetitis, enriched culture. 1. Introduction Microorganisms are one of the most interesting and at the same time rarely studied phenomena of the microbial world; they are oriented in the earth's magnetic field and are moving in the direction of magnetic lines of this field. These microbes i. e. Magnetotactic bacteria were discovered by Blakemore in 1975 (Lins de Barro, Eskuivel', 1989). During the last decade a number of researchers have identified some morpho-physiological and biochemical properties of such bacteria (Balkwill, Maratea, 1980; Bazylinski et al., 1988; Blakemore, 1975; Blakemore, 1932).
