A study observing endophytic fungi from medicinal plant Melochia umbellata and their antibacterial potencies has been done.Twelve species of endophytic fungi were successfully isolated from Melochia umbellata leaves and twigs.Four of them showed an activity in the antagonist test against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio cholerae and
Aromia bungii (Faldermann) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is an invasive pest, damaging Rosaceae trees (particularly Prunus) in Japan and Europe.The establishment of this beetle in Japan was first detected in 2012, and subsequently, it has rapidly expanded its distribution.Currently, Japanese populations of A.bungii are widely distributed in six non-co
High elevation areas are sensitive and vulnerable to climate change and exhibited relatively rapid changes in response to warming involving changes of floristic composition, species upward migration, shrub and tree encroachment and surface area changes.For this reason, it is important to provide quantitative studies as tools allowing a long-term mo
Pesticides with novel modes of action including neonicotinoids and anthranilic diamides are increasingly detected in global surface waters.Little is known about how these pesticides of concern interact in mixtures at environmentally relevant concentrations, a common exposure scenario in waterways impacted by pesticide pollution.We examined effects
