They are particularly sensitive to natural world disturbances. As a result, the current study was carried out to investigate and identify the diverse garden spider species at two distinct locations: a large college campus garden and a house garden (small). \u0000Place and Duration of Study: Garden of Magadh Mahila College (Patna, India) and the house garden (Patna city, India), between July 2001 to March 2022. \u0000Methodology: Visual examination and camera capture of photographs of spiders in both research sites, and identification based on general shape, size, distinctive colour pattern, number and positioning of eyes, length and arrangement of their legs, and so on. \u0000Results: Spiders are among the most diverse groups of organisms that exist in almost all microhabitats, as evidenced by the presence of 07 families, 15 genus, and 25 species in a small area. Due to their small numbers, this group cannot be disproved in conservation studies. Less species were found in the small garden in the house that was located in a well-built area, whereas a large number of different species of spiders were found in the college campus garden with a larger area of vegetation. \u0000Conclusion: According to this brief investigation, multiple species were present, each belonging to a different taxonomic group. As a result of this research, we will be able to gain a better understanding of spider diversity and taxonomy.","PeriodicalId":355136,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Zoology","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133785718","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}

Mosquitoes were collected for four weeks (4) on a weekly basis indoors at dawn from the female hostel of Prince Abubakar Audu University, Anyigba, Kogi State, Nigeria. Samples were collected from three different blocks (A, B, and C) of the study area. The samples were identified clearly based on their visible morphological features up to genus levels using routine methods. The data obtained from the study was analyzed using an SPSS version 21.0 for windows. Analysis of variance was used to test for significant difference in the abundance of mosquitoes’ genera between weeks and blocks. The resulting outputs were presented in tables. The weekly mosquito genera and relative abundance in block A of the study area showed that the total mosquito genera recorded were Anopheles 72 (40%), Culex 73 (40.6%), and Aedes 35 (19.4%). Mosquitoes were most abundant in week 4 (31.1%) and least abundant in week 1 (18.9%) in block A of the study area, which were statistically significant at P < 0.05. The weekly mosquito genera and relative abundance in block B of the study area showed that the total mosquito genera recorded were Anopheles 71 (39.7%), Culex 73 (40.8%), and Aedes 35 (19.6%). Mosquitoes were most abundant in week 4 (30.2%) and least abundant in week 1 (21.2%) in block B of the study area (P < 0.05). The weekly mosquito genera and relative abundance in block C of the study area showed that the total mosquito genera recorded were Anopheles 47 (37.6%), Culex 45 (36%), and Aedes 33 (26.4%). Mosquitoes were most abundant in week 1 (25.6%) and least abundant in week 2 (21.6%) in block C of the study area (P < 0.05).

Though spinning of a web is considered to be an inbuilt feature of almost all the spiders, certain spiders do not spin typical webs, and Plexippus petersi is one of them. The present study was undertaken, to investigate if this species of spiders can build a web when exposed to any sort of calamity. In this regard, male and female spiders were carefully handpicked, identified and maintained under laboratory condition for a period of four days. After the experimental period, the spiders were relived from captivity and were individually photographed.  During the experimental period, it was quite fascinating to observe that the female of this species, secreted silk threads from her abdominal glands, and were woven in to a sheet web. The silk of the web, was sticky in nature, white in color and was able to be molded in to long filamentous structure. This web spinning behavior was only observed in the female and not in male spiders. The results of this study precisely illustrate the fact that, when triggered under the pressure of a disaster,  the female spiders  can weave a web and evade any uncertainty  This amusing observational study, gives a deeper acumen not only about the behavioral aspect, but also explains, the probable success of these tiny arachnids,  in evolution which may be probably attributed to their jumping behavior and web building strategy  of  the females. The female spiders, seem to weave the web, not just for escape from predators, catching the prey, and    protection of egg cases  but also to  escape from adversaries at uncertain times.","PeriodicalId":355136,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Zoology","volume":"337 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134478572","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 using of heavy metals has greatly contributed to the comfort of our everyday lives. Blood is directly affected by poisoning when such metals are inhaled from environments where heavy metals occur in high levels. Research is constantly advancing our knowledge of the connection between various trace elements and disease, particularly cancer, since the effects of heavy metals on human health remain a serious health concern. \u0000Objective: The objective of this work is to establish levels of a range of elements in human blood, serum and hair samples of patient undergo lung cancer comparing with control (healthy persons) so that potential exposures can be better identified in future cases. \u0000Methods: Elements concentrations including As(arsenic), Ba(barium), Co(cobalt), Li(lithium), Mg(magnesium), Mn(manganese), Mo(molybdenum), Rb(rubidium), Sr(strontium) and Ti(titanium) was analysis used MS ICP (an inductively coupled plasma atomic absorption spectrophotometer). \u0000Results: Test found that Mn has substantially (p<0.05) high concentration in three tissues including whole blood, serum, and hair of patients with lung cancer (291,487.2,68.03) ug / l respectively. In comparison as occurs in the lowest concentration. Sr was 77.5ug / l, Rb 41.6ug / l, and Ba 35.2ug / g. On other hand, Co, Li, Mg, Mo and Ti were found in low levels ranged 1.7-5.5 ug/l, in whole blood of patients. Hair samples accumulated the lowest concentration of As, Ba, Co, Mg, Mn and Rb. When we compare the concentration of trace elements between lung patients and control samples, that clear most of the elements accumulate at high levels in lung cancer patients. Result found significantly high As, Ba, Co, Mg, Mo concentration in whole blood and serum of lung cancer patients, in contract, Li, Mn and Rb occur in high levels in whole blood of control sample. Even as hair of control samples have elevated levels of As, Sr and Ti. However, concentrations of trace elements in the whole blood of smokers and non-smokers showed that all ten elements accumulated at elevated levels in the blood of smokers relative to non-smokers. Spearman correlation found significantly positive correlation among trace elements in the blood of patients with smoker lung cancer and non-smokers. \u0000Conclusion: The study conclude that trace metals level in smokers persons are elevated than non-smokers. The findings of this study lend some support to the link between heavy metals pollution and lung cancer cases.","PeriodicalId":355136,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Zoology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124251379","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}

Large quantities of wastewater effluent are inadequately treated or untreated before discharge into receiving waterbodies, resulting in environmental health concerns. Thus, this study investigated the efficacy of a brewery wastewater treatment system in Lagos by assessing the physicochemical characteristics, acute toxicity, and oxidative stress induction capabilities of the influent (untreated) and effluent (treated) on African mud catfish, Clarias, gariepinus and brackish water Shrimp, Palaemonetes africanus. The test organisms were acutely and sub-lethally exposed to predetermined concentrations of treated and untreated brewery wastewater. Results from the physicochemical assessment of the respective wastewater indicated that the treatment process was relatively effective in improving acidity levels (80.0% reduction), suspended solids (88.0% reduction), total nitrogen concentration (77.0% reduction), chemical oxygen demand (24.05% reduction), and biological oxygen demand (30.0% reduction), while nickel and cobalt concentrations reduced by 50%. Also, there was improvement of dissolved oxygen by about 250%. The 96 h LC50 value of the Catfishes and shrimps exposed to treated wastewater were 12.926 ml/L and 1.095 ml/L respectively compared to and 10.371 mg/L and 0.061 mg/L for the untreated wastewater, indicating an improvement factor of 1.23 and 17.95 for both species, correspondingly. Inhibition of the levels of activities of anti-oxidative enzymes (Reduced glutathione GSH, Superoxide dismutase SOD, and Catalase CAT) and increased lipid peroxidation damage (Malondialdehyde MDA) were recorded in all treatments for both test species, relative to the unexposed control groups.
