residential buildings in central and western parts of Iran. Samples were identified using a diagnostic key at the species level and confirmed by molecular studies. Phylogenetic analysis using COI gene was also carried out. This study is the first report...

Background: Most species of owls (Strigidae) represent cryptic species and their taxonomic study is in flux. In recent years, two new species of owls of the genus Strix have been described from the Arabian peninsula by ...

in the GenBank, highest with the isolate Bris-A (AJ278405) (92 and 91.7 %) from Australia. When compared for separate genes, most of their genes shared the highest identities with Australian and Argentinean isolates. Phylogenetic analysis...

The Aphidiinae subfamily (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) have significant role in biological control of aphids

(Hemiptera: Aphididae). The successful use of biological control agents requires rapid and accurate identification ...

distinct groups. Thus, the present study highlighted the phylogenetic relationships among ten species of Puntius inferred from both mitochondrial and nuclear genes by using DNA sequences from the Cytochrome b (857 bp), Cytochrome oxidase 1 (501 bp...

The entomopathogenic fungi are widely used as a biocontrol agent against many insect pests. In the present study,
strains of Metarhizium were isolated and identified from Badakhshan province of Afghanistan. The taxonomic ...

individuals of seven subspecies, and compared this with 214 sequences from

29 other owl species. Phylogenetic analysis of the T. alba samples gives very strong support for

an Old World alba–clade (three subspecies) and a New World furcata...
