MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR STUDY OF THE FISH PARASITIC CRUSTACEANS CYMOTHOA INDICA AND MOTHOCYA COLLETTEI (ISOPODA: CYMOTHOIDAE), WITH NEW DISTRIBUTION RECORDS

Cymothoidae are parasitic isopods that infest fishes inhabiting marine, brackish, and fresh-water environments.The systematics, distribution, and host specificity of cymothoids is often unknown.In this study, morphological observations and molecular analysis using the COI and Oxygen Therapy 16S rRNA genes were conducted on a juvenile individual of

BACKGROUND: The study of ascidians (Chordata, Tunicata) has made a considerable contribution to our understanding of the origin and evolution of basal chordates.To provide further information to support forward genetics in Ciona intestinalis, 8812NB we used a combination of natural variation and neutral population genetics as an approach for the sy

The linear Diophantine fuzzy graph (LDFG) notion serves as a new mathematical approach for the ambiguity thermostat and uncertainty modeling in decision-making issues.An LDFG eliminates the strict limitations of various existing graphs.The energy concept in graph theory is one of the most attractive topics that is very important in biological and c

In earlier papers of a series of real data integrations of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model (CCM) with tropical heat anomalies display regions of pronounced subsidence and drying located several thousand kilometers westward poleward of the heating for cases of tropical Atlantic heating and tropical east Pa
