This study investigates the histopathological and biochemical changes in the liver of Labeo rohita (Rohu) under environmental stress, with a particular focus on the effects of oxidative stress. The liver, being a central organ in detoxification and metabolic processes, is highly susceptible to environmental changes such as pollution, temperature fluctuations, and low oxygen levels. In this study, we assess the histopathological alterations in liver tissues and measure key biochemical markers, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, to determine the extent of oxidative stress. The findings highlight significant liver damage and alterations in antioxidant enzyme activity in response to environmental stressors, suggesting a close relationship between oxidative damage and liver function in fish. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the physiological adaptations of Labeo rohita to environmental changes and underscore the potential of liver biomarkers for monitoring fish health in polluted aquatic environments.
An extensive field survey was conducted to assess the seasonal incidence and ecological relationship of insect pests associated with Ber (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) plantations in the Solapur district of Maharashtra. The survey covered all 11 tehsils of the district, with four distinct Ber plantation sites selected in each tehsil. The study was carried out over a period of three years, from January 2022 to December 2024. Observations were primarily recorded during the rainy and winter seasons, which coincide with the fruiting phase of the crop. A total of 23 insect pest species were documented as being associated with Ber in the study area. Among these, six species were identified as major pests due to their significant impact on the crop, while the remaining 17 were categorized as minor pests. The present investigation highlights the diversity of insect pests infesting Ziziphus jujuba in the Solapur region and provides detailed insights into the nature and extent of damage caused by these pests.
In the phylum Arthropoda, millipedes are categorised as Diplopoda. The goal of the current study was to investigate the diversity and distribution of pill millipedes, which are abundant in the KMTR of Tamil Nadu's Southern Western Ghats. A total number of four pill millipede samples Arthrosphaera brandtii (Humbert, 1865), Arthrosphaera dalyi (Pocock, 1895), Arthrosphaera hendersoni (Pocock, 1895), Arthrosphaera magna (Attems, 1936) belonging to order Sphaerotheriida and family belongs to Arthrospharidae also of four genera were annotate from the forest and tropical of KMTR of Southern Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu. According to these findings, pill millipede conservation and the checklist would be greatly improved by additional research. For precise identification and keys, the current study defined the morphological characteristics of each millipede.
Ramtek is situated in the Nagpur district of Vidarbha, Maharashtra, on the northern edge of the Deccan Plateau. This region is characterized by a wide variety of bioclimatic and geographical variables. The region is characterized by a mosaic of diverse ecosystems encompassing deciduous forests, scrublands, agricultural fields, and freshwater bodies, which harbor a rich variety of insect life for ecological and conservation research. Ramtek is situated in the Nagpur district of Vidarbha, Maharashtra, on the northern edge of the Deccan Plateau. The present study was carried out in and around Ramtek region of Maharashtra India. Total five spots were identified and study was undertaken in forest area, lake side area, agricultural farm, college campus and open land area of various vegetation. The study was conducted from January to April 2025 period. The collected insects were identified and maintain the record in tabulated form for analysis. Results shown that lepidopteran species were dominant followed by Odonata, Hymenoptera, Diptera, Orthoptera, Coleoptera, Isoptera etc. The objective of this study is to evaluate the dominance and abundance of various arthropods population in different region of Ramtek
