This study was carried out in a biodiversity hotspot within the Nimba region located in the northeastern part of Liberia. The Nimba region is known to harbor exceptional fauna diversity. However, the small mammal communities in Nimba region are poorly documented. The aim of this study was to determine the species richness and relative abundance of rodents and shrews in five sites: Bento, East Nimba, Gangra-Yuelliton, Tokadeh and Vayampah. A total of 244 individual of small mammals comprising 18 species were trapped on 4,375 trap nights. Rodent species recorded include: Arvicanthis rufinus, Dephomys defua, Grammomys buntingi, Graphiurus lorraineus, Hybomys planifrons, Hybomys trivirgatus, Hylomyscus simus, Lemniscomys striatus, Lophuromys sikapusi, Malacomys edwardsi, Mastomys erythroleucus, Mus muscoloides, Mus setulosus and Praomys rostratus. Shrew species were Crocidura eburnea, Crocidura jouvenetae, Crocidura muricauda and Crocidura obscurior. The most dominant species was Hylomyscus simus (22.95%), followed by Praomys rostratus, Crocidura muricauda and Crocidura eburnea. The highest species richness was recorded at Gangra-Yuelliton and lowest at Tokadeh. Diversity indexes were higher at East nimba (H’ = 2.01; 1-D = 0.82) and Gangra-Yuelliton (H’ = 2.00; 1-D = 0.83) and lower at Tokadeh (H’ = 1.57; 1-D = 0.75). Similarity index revealed high resemblance in species composition between Bento and Vayampah. The lowest similarity was observed between Tokadeh and Gangra-Yuelliton. This study highlighted the high biological diversity of small mammal communities in Liberia's Mount Nimba region. Thus, this zoological group should now be taken into account in the biodiversity conservation strategies of Mount Nimba

In sericulture, the nutritional ability of mulberry varieties and conversional traits of silkworm breeds have an important role in the improvement of silk yield. The present study aims to evaluate silk conversion efficiency in a few breeds and hybrids. The silkworm Bombyx mori breeds and hybrids viz., MVI, PMxCSR2, MV1xS8 and FC1xFC2 were assessed during the fifth instar, with PM as control during the years 2019 and 2020. The study focused on the nutritional indices and conversion traits of silkworms by feeding V1 mulberry leaves, reared under the same environmental conditions. Significant variations were observed among silkworm breeds and hybrids. The test breed and hybrids were found superior to the control PM, which recorded an ingestion of 2.33g and a conversion ability of 8.65%. The bivoltine double hybrid FC1xFC2 showed high food ingestion (3.25g) and conversion (18.18%), followed by the cross breed MV1xS8 with moderate ingestion (3.17g) and conversion (16.63%). The values for ingesta and conversion in PMxCSR2 were 3.43 g and 8.92%, respectively. Further, in respect of Efficiency Conversion of Ingesta (ECI) of shell, the highest conversion of shell is shown by FC1xFC2 (13.56%) followed by MV1xS8 (10.14%), MV1 (9.73%) and PMxCSR2 (9.36%), having a percentage difference of 63.27%, 36.08%, 32.11% and 28.30% respectively over PM. The silk conversion efficiency of bivoltine double hybrid FC1xFC2 was found to be profoundly high, followed by multivoltine cross-breeds and pure line (PM) tested.

Some aspects of population dynamic and the stock status of Selene dorsalis were investigated in the coastal waters of Côte d’Ivoire from March 2016 to February 2018. For this purpose, 869 fish species were collected. The range length of collected species was 7.5cm to 30.3 cm. The asymptotic length (L∞) was 32.02 cm, with a growth rate (K) of 0.56 per year. The growth performance index (Φ′) was 2.76 per year with longevity of 5.35 year. The natural mortality rate (M) was estimated at 1.16 year-1 and lower than the fishing mortality rates (F) estimated at 1.19 year-1. The current exploitation rate (0.50) was higher than E0.5 (0.38). The main losses in the stock up to 13.5 cm size was due to natural causes and after this size mortality due to fishing increased and eventually outnumbered the natural losses. The annual total stock and biomass were estimated at 10.412, 5.546 tons respectively

Moringa oleifera, a multi-purpose woody species that is increasingly being cultivated in Burkina Faso. The purpose of this study is to determine the best way to produce Moringa seedlings. The study was conducted at AMIFOB, Ouagadougou in (12°7’32’’N et 01°40’24’’W). Germination tests of Moringa seeds and seedling growth were carried out with newly harvested seeds, one and two-year-old, in plastic pots and directly on the ground, arranged together in ambient atmospheres receiving a daily water supply of 250 ml. Seedlings from the pots are transplanted to the same substrate on the 35th day after sowing. The results showed that the age of the seed has a significant effect on the germination rate of the seeds (p<0.05). Older seeds have a low germination rate (42.33%). After 35 days after germination, the height and collar diameter growth of potted seedlings is higher than that of direct seeding. Seedlings emerging from the ground have a recovery rate of 81.35%. On the other hand, those in the pots have a 100% recovery rate. Sixty-five days after transplanting, potted seedlings and those growing on the ground showed no significant difference in growth in height and diameter (p>0.05). The recovery rate for seedlings from pots is 83.33% compared to 65.56% for those from direct seeding on the ground. The germination rate of older seeds is low and the water content of the substrate influences the germination rate of Moringa seeds.

The study of endemic fish species is of great importance, considering that extensive knowledge is a prerequisite for adequate protection and conservation. This study investigated the histology of the digestive tract of the steno-endemic fish Cobitis herzegoviniensis Buj & Šanda 2014, from Mostarsko Blato (Neretva River basin, Bosnia and Herzegovina). Histology of the digestive tract of this species was investigated, since there is a scarcity of information regarding its digestive biology. Specimens (average total length 78 mm, average standard length 69 mm, mean weight 3,836 g) of the species C. herzegoviniensis were caught in the lower course of the Lištica River in the area of Mostarsko Blato in June 2019. The tissue of selected organs of the digestive system was used as the basic material. Using basic histological techniques, microscopic preparations were made from the tissue. This species has only esophagus and intestine. When studying the microscopic structure of the wall of the digestive tract, it was determined that the wall consists of three layers: mucosa (tunica mucosa), muscular layer (tunica muscularis) and outer layer (tunica serosa). The basic building block of the liver is the liver cell or hepatocyte.

Biological research is significantly impacted by bioinformatics. Without the bioinformatics component, massive research endeavors like the human genome project would be worthless. After the raw data is available, in silico testing of hypotheses is possible. A form of obstructive lung illness called COPD is characterized by persistently inadequate airflow. Shortness of breath and a cough that produces phlegm are the prominent symptoms. Usually, it gets worse with time. It will eventually be challenging to carry objects or climb stairs. COPD is the primary diagnosis for chronic bronchitis. The most frequent cause of COPD is tobacco use, with other variables such as air pollution and genetics having a lesser impact.

The proximate composition (Protein, carbohydrate, lipid, ash, moisture and total dietary fiber content) and physicochemical properties of Portieria hornemannii were studied. The proximate composition of protein 33.82 ± 1.48 followed by carbohydrate and lipid the protein is highest activity. Total dietary fiber contained 2.24 ± 0.39 for thr red seaweed of Portieria hornemannii contains neutral sugars corresponded to sulphated galactoans (Carrageen and agar). Insoluble fiber 1.22 ± 0.06 and soluble fiber 1.02 ± 0.05, moisture and ash were 12.96 ± 0.55 and 18.42 ± 1.03 respectively. Followed by WHC and swelling both had strong physicochemical characteristics at high temperatures. The oil retention is very low. Finally the seaweed P.hornemannii is used in anti diabetic activity of α amylase enzyme activity IC50 value 121.68. The P.hornemannii can be effective inhibition of anti diabetic activity and its leads to develop the natural drug in pharmaceutical application
