The present study was conducted to investigate the diversity and abundance of soil arthropods in selected habitats in Jahangirnagar University campus, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Sampling was conducted at three different habitats, viz., woodland (W), grassland with herbs (GH), and woodland with herbs (WH), from February 2022 to July 2022 using pitfall traps. A total of 9054 arthropods belonging to 19 different orders viz., Collembola, Diplura, Thysanoptera, Odonata, Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Blattodea, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Isoptera, Lepidoptera, Acari, Araneae, Mesostigmata, Polydesmida, Isopoda, Scolopendrellida and Scolopendromorpha were collected. The most abundant order was Collembola (64.49%) followed by Diptera (12.89%), Hymenoptera (9.82%), Orthoptera (4.73%), Araneae (2.85%) and Coleoptera (1.38%), and the least abundant orders were Isoptera (0.17%), Scolopendrellida (0.13%), Thysanoptera (0.10%), Acai (0.09%), and Diplura (0.08%). Blattodea, Polydesmida, Lepidoptera and Isopoda represented 0.76%, 0.64%, 0.34% and 0.27% of the total captured individuals, respectively. The greatest number of individuals were collected from habitat-W (49.78%) followed by habitat-GH (28.32%) and habitat-WH (21.90%). The collembolans exhibited the highest abundance in all three habitats. Both the Shannon-Weiner index (H') and Pielou’s evenness index. (J') showed the highest score in habitat-GH (H'=1.49, J'=0.5), whereas the least score in habitat-W (H'=1.04, (J'=0.36). Information revealed in this study is expected to contribute to developing baseline data of arthropod fauna in Jahangirnagr University campus. More importantly, this information would help us monitor any change in the abundance and diversity of soil-dwelling arthropods in Jahangirnagar University campus.","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76645068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current research looked at how L-leucine and L-tryptophan affected layer chicks' meal intake. Leucine and tryptophan were administered intracerebroventricularly (ICV) to 4-day-old layer chicks, and feed intake was monitored at different time intervals. Our findings demonstrated that L-leucine administration by ICV enhanced feed intake up to two hours after treatment (P 0.05). On the other hand, L-tryptophan (10 or 100 g) had no discernible impact on feed consumption. These results showed that L-leucine may impact appetite inside the hypothalamus and that orexigenic and anorexigenic Neuropeptide genes may be directly involved in these effects","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74527430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study monitored the larvicidal effect of Bacillus thuringiesis and Bacillus sphaericus against Anopheles mosquito larvae and the effect of physical factors on the larvicidal potency on mosquito larvae. \u0000Methodology: Mid-guts of Anopheles mosquito larvae were inoculated on both Blood Agar and MacConkey Agar culture media. Depending on Gram stain to determine gram positive and gram-negative bacteria, and to identify the bacterial cells` morphology. A 1000µl of Bacillus thuringiensis. Sample was heated at 80°C for 12 min and diluted from 10 -1 to l0-8 with sterile normal saline. Bacillus strains were inoculated into Müller Hinton broth media and incubated over-night at 37°C. This time was quite enough to form the spores and crystals. The supernatant fluid was discarded and the cell suspensions were washed with sterile distilled water the process was repeated up to 3 times until spores and crystals were free from debris by using phase contrast microscopy. Collected spores and crystals were kept in sterile containers in fridge until used. \u0000Results: Fifty-three mid-gut contents of Anopheles arabiensis larvae were identified morphologically and biochemically. Bacillus species were the most prevalent bacteria. The highest larval mortality rate was recorded by 5ml of Bt1 and Bt2 after 24 hrs.  of treatment and by 150µl of Bacillus species spore.100% mortality was recorded by the Bacillus spore-crystal mixture. A mortality of 60% was recorded at pH 8.0, by 400 C the mortality rate was 20%at 24 hrs. After 12 hours, the exposure to UV light, larvicidal activity reduced to 40 %.  \u0000Unique Contribution to Theory Policy and Practices: These findings revealed that both B.thuringiensis and Bacillus sphaericus are a good control agent for Anopheles mosquitoes. More deep investigations are needed to verify the effect of the entomopathogens, which has biological and economic importance in mosquito control. In addition, Intensive studies must be needed to validate reliability.","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"173 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89000235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
