Objective of research: To study the species diversity of ticks in the north — eastern part of Uzbekistan: fauna, distribution patterns and ecology. Materials and methods: Research samples were collected with the use of common parasitological methods [2, 3, 4]. Host animals were examined once a decade by collecting parasites from certain groups of farm and wild animals. Results and discussion: 13 species of 6 tick genera discovered during the research period on the territory of the north — eastern Uzbekistan: Ixodes persulcatus, I. redikorzevi, I. crenulatus, Haemaphusalis caucasica, Boophilus calcaratus, Dermacentor pictus, D. daghestanicus, D. pavlovskyi, Rhipicephalis turanicus, H. asiaticum, H. detritum, H. anatolicum, H. plumbeum turanikum. Species B. salcaratus, H. asiaticum are distributed in all survey areas what confirms their high ecological flexibility. The extensity of infection of livestock with ticks is rather high — 51.3 — 52.3%. The infestation of synanthropic and wild animals ranged from 37.0 to 40.0%.

Purpose – This study aims to examine the present trend of academic libraries consortia and the likely ways to improve on the development of consortia in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopted the descriptive survey method. It covers four selected academic libraries in the north and eastern parts of Nigeria. A questionnaire entitled “Library Consortia in Nigerian Universities Questionnaire (LCNUQ)” was designed to collect data for the study. Findings – The study revealed that academic libraries in Nigeria have not fully embraced library consortia, as only two out of the four academic libraries surveyed have functioning library consortia. The paper shows that none of the libraries surveyed have collection development policies on e-resources, as well as union catalogues and interlibrary networking. It also reveals some likely ways of improving library consortia to include: jointly budgeting, increased funding and collective and compulsory development of interlibrary networking and union catalogues among university libraries within the country. Practical implications – The study will encourage librarians and library management in developing countries to embrace and facilitate the development of library consortia. Originality/value – The paper reveals the present trend of library consortia in Nigeria. Therefore, the findings may be of help to librarians, university administrators and government to build and improve on the development of library consortia in Nigeria and other developing countries.

This research was conducted in January 2019 in the mangrove area of Purnama Village, Dumai City, Riau Province. The purpose of this study was to determine the crab community structure which includes the type, abundance, crab distribution patterns, species diversity (H '), species uniformity (E), and species dominance (C) crabs. The method used in this study is a survey method. There are three observation stations with each of the three transects at each station, on each transect line there is a square plot with a size of 5x5 m2. Crab sampling is done quantitatively and qualitatively. Based on the results of the study it was found that the species of crabs identified at the area of the research were Sesarma reticulatum, S. guttatum, Uca dussumieri, U. rosea, U. vocans, Cardisoma carnifex, and Clistocoeloma merguinse. Furthermore, the abundance of crabs obtained is between 1560-2040 Ind / Ha with cluster distribution patterns. The average value of species diversity (H ') indicates moderate diversity, uniformity (E) indicates high species uniformity, and species dominance value (C) indicates no dominating species.This research was conducted in January 2019 in the mangrove area of Purnama Village, Dumai City, Riau Province.

Lullabies are essentially sung for their soothing nature but, as this article shows, they have other important functions. One of the most important of these is that lullabies may provide much-needed language stimulation with important long-term consequences for future learning. This paper begins the work of addressing the dearth of scholarly research on lullabies, especially in the Yoruba (Nigeria: Niger-Congo) culture. It looks at the range of themes, dictions, and prosody that are intertwined to reveal Yoruba beliefs and world-views about children, starting with their time in the womb. The study uses a descriptive survey method to analyse data collected through participant observation. It shows that Yoruba lullabies not only offer insights into Yoruba cultural beliefs but also depend greatly on figurative expression and prosodic systems. These rich literary qualities identify lullabies as the earliest sub-genre of children's poetry.

AbstractEnterovirus A71 (EV-A71), Coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) and CV-A10 are the major causative agents of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). The conformational epitopes play a vital role in monitoring the antigenic evolution, predicting dominant strains and preparing vaccines. In this study, we employed a Bioinformatics-based algorithm to predict the conformational epitopes of EV-A71 and CV-A16 and compared with that of CV-A10. Prediction results revealed that the distribution patterns of conformational epitopes of EV-A71 and CV-A16 were similar to that of CV-A10 and their epitopes likewise consisted of three sites: site 1 (on the “north rim” of the canyon around the fivefold vertex), site 2 (on the “puff”) and site 3 (one part was in the “knob” and the other was near the threefold vertex). The reported epitopes highly overlapped with our predicted epitopes indicating the predicted results were reliable. These data suggested that three-site distribution pattern may be the basic distribution role of epitopes on the enteroviruses capsids. Our prediction results of EV-A71 and CV-A16 can provide essential information for monitoring the antigenic evolution of enterovirus.

AbstractCharacterization of species diversity of zooplankton is key to understanding, assessing, and predicting the function and future of pelagic ecosystems throughout the global ocean. The marine zooplankton assemblage, including only metazoans, is highly diverse and taxonomically complex, with an estimated ~28,000 species of 41 major taxonomic groups. This review provides a comprehensive summary of DNA sequences for the barcode region of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) for identified specimens. The foundation of this summary is the MetaZooGene Barcode Atlas and Database (MZGdb), a new open-access data and metadata portal that is linked to NCBI GenBank and BOLD data repositories. The MZGdb provides enhanced quality control and tools for assembling COI reference sequence databases that are specific to selected taxonomic groups and/or ocean regions, with associated metadata (e.g., collection georeferencing, verification of species identification, molecular protocols), and tools for statistical analysis, mapping, and visualization. To date, over 150,000 COI sequences for ~ 5600 described species of marine metazoan plankton (including holo- and meroplankton) are available via the MZGdb portal. This review uses the MZGdb as a resource for summaries of COI barcode data and metadata for important taxonomic groups of marine zooplankton and selected regions, including the North Atlantic, Arctic, North Pacific, and Southern Oceans. The MZGdb is designed to provide a foundation for analysis of species diversity of marine zooplankton based on DNA barcoding and metabarcoding for assessment of marine ecosystems and rapid detection of the impacts of climate change.

The distribution patterns of many marine benthic invertebrates are not well known, and when records exist they are usually in the form of presence and absence data with little or no information on the relative density of populations from area to area.
