Features of preimaginal and imaginal feeding of calliphoridae of the Far Eastern region of Russia are considered, ecological complexes and trophic groupings are distinguished, and their species composition is indicated. Aspects of calliphoridae’ synantropism are discussed.
The subfamily Chrysomyinae includes blowflies of considerable ecological and applied importance. Previous extensive morphological investigations have affirmed chrysomyine monophyly, but did not support the monophyly of traditional chrysomyine tribes. Conversely, molecular systematic analyses sugg...
Habitat selection exploited by Chrysomya albiceps during its initial spread in Northern Italy was analyzed in relation to landscape structure. The results of two short studies and a case report are here discussed. C. albiceps was not found on experimental pig carcasses in the urban area of Pavia...
We present here the first comprehensive genetic characterization of melon landraces from the humid tropics of southern India. The genetic diversity among 50 melon landraces collected from 3 agro-ecological regions of southern India (6 agro-ecological sub-regions) was assessed by variation at 17 S...
Swida controversa (Cornaceae) is a vertebrate-dispersed tree species that is widely distributed in East Asia. The maintenance of S. controversa is important for the conservation of fruit-frugivore ecological networks, because the fruits of S. controversa are an important component of the diet of ...
A detailed characterization of the relief, parent materials, soils, woody vegetation, and the links between them is given for a small part of the southern taiga zone in the center of the East European Plain. A methodology for determining the vegetation succession patterns on different soils with ...
Relationships between morphological characters of the generative organs of larch and ecogeographic and climatic factors in the Russian Far East have been analyzed. It has been shown that local ecological factors have an effect on metric morphological characters of cones such as the length, width,...
Ordination and classification techniques have been applied to an integrated study of the ecological characteristics of the Mula River watershed (Murcia, south-east Spain), as environmental background for use and management.These techniques facilitate an objective determination of the main tendenc...
The ecological aspects of meiofaunal communities in the Muthupettai mangrove forest, East coast of India, has not been investigated in the last two decades. Surface water temperature ranged from 23.5 °C to 31.8 °C. Salinity varied from 24 to 34 ppt, while water pH fluctuated from 7.4 to 8.3. Di...
We present here the first comprehensive genetic characterization of wild melon accessions from northern India. The genetic diversity among 43 wild melon accessions collected from the six agro-ecological regions of the Punjab State of India was assessed by measuring variation at 16 Simple Sequence...
The regional ecological scales developed previously (Komarova et al., 2003) are applied to the comparative assessment of ecological tolerance of different plant species with respect to factors of moisture supply, active soil richness, and temperature regime of habitats in forest areas in the midd...
