The family Calliphoridae is a group of heterogenous calyptrate flies with worldwide distribution including species ecological, veterinary, medical, and forensic importance. Notorious for their parasitic habits, the larvae many blowflies are characterised – like some other dipteran by ability to develop in animal flesh. When parasitism affects living host, it termed "myiasis". This has led be considered as pivotal its relationship man. Nevertheless, even after more than 50 years research, phylogenetic relationships among calliphorid subfamilies together evolutionary origin myiasis remain unclear. In order elucidate these problems, we constructed three trees using nucleotide sequence data from cytochrome oxidase subunit one (COI), representing mitochondrial conservative gene, nuclear 28S ribosomal RNA gene (28S rRNA) interpret profile Calliphoridae. sequenced represented associated ectoparasitic life-styles, either saprophagy or facultative obligate parasitism. A total number accessions were collected rRNA, 56 COI, 38 combined sequences phylogeny.

The impact of climate change on biodiversity has been the subject numerous research in recent years. multiple elements are expected to affect all levels biodiversity, including microorganisms. common worldwide fungus Fusarium oxysporum colonizes plant roots as well soil and several other substrates. It causes predominant vascular wilt disease different strategic crops such banana, tomato, palm, even cotton, thereby leading severe losses. So, a robust maximum entropy algorithm was implemented well-known modeling program Maxent forecast current future global distribution F. under two representative concentration pathways (RCPs 2.6 8.5) for 2050 2070. model calibrated using 1885 occurrence points. resulting models were fit with AUC TSS values equal 0.9 (±0.001) 0.7, respectively.

Avena sterilis L. (A. sterilis) and ludoviciana Dur. ludoviciana) are extremely invasive weeds with strong competitive ability multiple transmission routes. Both species can invade a variety of dryland crops, including wheat, corn, beans. Asia, as the world's major food-producing continent, will experience significant losses to agricultural production if it is invaded by these on large scale. This study used MaxEnt model ArcGIS map distribution suitable habitats two in Asia under climate change conditions. The constructed comprised four levels, total 25 index-level indicator factors evaluate invasion risk species. results showed that for both was highly dependent precipitation temperature.
