Abstract

Effect of melatonin administration in the late photophase on the follicular development, vitellogenesis and atresia in the prepubertal pigeon was investigated. Birds were autopsied after the last injection and ovaries were dissected out and processed for histology. Follicles were separated using the spring scissor and classified based on their diameter, (i) < 75 μm (ii) 76-300 μm and (iii) > 300 μm. In initial control birds, follicles < 75 μm and < 300 μm diameters were found while in final control and melatonin treated birds follicles of < 75 μm, < 300 μm and > 300 μm were found. Significant increase in the number of follicles < 75 μm diameter and atretic follicles were found in melatonin treated pigeons. Early vitellogenic follicles were absent in melatonin treated pigeons. The present study suggests that the treatment with melatonin in late photophase to prepubertal female pigeos affects the growth of the follicles and inhibits the formation of vitellogenic follicles.

Abstract

Rete ovarii is the secondary sexual organ which is supposed to have a secretory activity. There are three parts in rete ovarii: 1) Intraovarian Rete (lOR), 2) Extraovarian Rete (EOR) and Connecting Rete (CR). The intraovarian rete is supposed to be non-ciliated, whereas the connecting rete is lined by ciliated epithelial cells (McEntee, 1990). The role of rete ovarii in the follicle formation of mouse ovary was studied (Byskov and Moore 1973; Byskov et al, 1977). Further, the rete ovarii is supposed to initiate meiosis and follicle formation in the cat, mink and ferret (Byskov, 1975). The anatomy and ultrastructure of the rete system was also studied (Byskov, 1978). Rete ovarii cells of the human ovary was studied by Czemobilsky et al. (1985). Perusal of literature reveals that no study has been done on the rete system of birds. Hence, an attempt is made to throw light on the rete ovarii of the domestic pigeon, Cohimba livia

Abstract

The family Tenebrionidae is the fifth largest family of the order Coleoptera All Gonocephalum species are characteristic elements of open land in different altitudes, but lacking in closed mature forests. They can be found quite often in cultivated land along roads, in bushlands. Gonocephalum species are mostly collected under stones but also under bark of rotten trunks or under cattle excrements where they usually aggregate during daytime (Schawaller, 1997). Except (Hegde, 2012), there is no report on the Tenebrionidae fauna of Karnataka state. The collection of Gonocephalum strangulatum (Fairmaire, 1888) in the arecanut plantation, under the stone from Kadatoka village (North Kanara), Karnataka state constitutes the new record of that species not only from Karnataka state, but also from India.

Abstract

Chhattisgarh state is located in the central part of India surrounded by 05 states, viz; Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh and occupying an area of about 1,35,000 sq. k. m. A perusal of literature reveals that 103 species of different groups of insects are reported from Chhattisgarh (Ramakrishna et al., 2006). Recent reference (Srivastava, 2014) on Dermaptera of Achanakmar Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve of Chhattisgarh state reveals the record of 05 species only. Hence, an attempt has been made to explore the Dermaptera fauna of this state by studying the collections made during the recent surveys conducted by different survey parties of the Zoological Survey of India.

Abstract

The Lagriine genus Bothynogria was named by Borchmann (1915) and 06 species has been described till date. A perusal of literature reveals that three species of Bothynogria namely himalayana Borchmann, 1936, bicolor (Kollar and Redtenbacher, 1848) and meghalayana (Merkl, 1990) were reported from Nilgiri Hills, Tamil Nadu; Sikkim and West Bengal (DarjeelingLebong and Lopchu) and Meghalaya respectively. The occurrence of the 4^th species Bothynogria ruficollis from Uttarakhand state increases the number of Lagriine species in India and extends its distribution from eastwards and southwards to western Himalayan ecosystem.

Abstract

The family Staphylinidae commonly known as Rove beetles is one of the largest family of the superfamily Staphylinoidea. The family is divided into 14 subfamilies of which members of the subfamily Paederinae can be easily distinguished by its head being more or less constricted behind. Major workers dealt the group are Motschulsky (1858), Fauvel (1895), Bernhauer (1915) etc. prior to Cameron’s work on the fauna of India Series (1930-1939).

Abstract

The representatives of the coleopteran family Erotylidae are commonly known as "pleasing fungus beetles". They are often elongate-elliptical to hemispherical or sub-orbicular in shape, moderately flattened and brightly patterned with red or yellow and black or seldom metallic blue color. They are primarily inhabitants of the humid forest areas where diverse fungi grow, necessarily mycophagous, feed mostly on surface of fungal fruiting bodies or occasionally feed inside them. Their larvae generally feed within the larger fruiting bodies of mushrooms and bracket fungi.

Scaritine Ground beetles are dark in color; body pedunculate and nearly cylindrical, sometimes slightly flattened; legs digitate and with variable spurs which are suitable for digging; eyes well developed but not so much externally protruding. Scarites can be differentiated from other genera of the group by hooked maxillae, one supraorbital seta, head without central tubercle, and extended buccal fissure. Scarites is represented by nearly 55 species in Indian Subcontinent. These beetles are generally found on moist, sandy or loose soil and make deep burrows in the soil and rest there during day times and come out in the night.
