Abstract Habitat fragmentation and loss are considered primary threats to common leopards ( Panthera pardus ) across their geographical range. We investigated anthropogenic environmental factors influencing the habitat suitability of in northern Pakistan using an ensemble model direct indirect leopard signs during 2014–2022. Using location data from 206 sightings model's performance was good (true skill statistic, TSS = 0.52). highest forest cover negatively related density settlements...
Abstract Climate change is among the greatest drivers of biodiversity loss, threatening up to 15–30% described species by end twenty-first century. We estimated current suitable habitat and forecasted future distribution ranges Indian pangolin ( Manis crassicaudata ) under climate scenarios. collected occurrence records using burrow counts, remote camera previously published literature in Pakistan during 2021–2023. downloaded bioclimatic data for (1970–2000) (2041–2060, 2061–2080, 2081–2100)...
Niche overlap between sympatric species can indicate the extent of interspecific competition. Sympatric competing exhibit spatial, temporal, and dietary adjustments to reduce We investigated niche Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) small Indian (Viverricula indica), in around Pir Lasura National Park, Pakistan. used remote cameras determine frequency timing detections estimate spatial temporal overlap, prey remains from scats overlap. collected scat samples (n = 108) 44) for...
Human-carnivore conflicts have been a most important driver of carnivore population declines globally. We investigated patterns, costs, and drivers human-leopard in Banna Valley, Pakistan during 2017–2018. Since topographic environmental factors can influence the frequency livestock depredations by leopards, we used leopard to investigate if changes influenced depredations. collected data from 150 respondents 20 villages who lost 300 domestic animals leopards. Leopards mainly killed goats...
Leucinodes orbonalis is a potential pest of eggplant, commonly known as fruit and shoot borer. Owing to its devastating nature, chemical pesticides are frequently applied insecticide pressure significantly higher in developing nations. Keeping the current situation mind most effective practical strategy for managing insect pests found humid subtropical environments bio-control. Entomopathogenic nematodes, has been utilized against many their management. view biocidal entomopathogenic study...
High Quality fodder crops are a key component of the white uprising milk yield. Berseem is top forage crop also known as Queen all Cultivated Fodders or Green Gold Asia. The experiment was designed to screen out six varieties berseem viz. F-01-16, F-02-16, F01-17, F-02-17, F-01-18 and F-02-18 against aphid leaf minor. data regarding miner recorded on weekly bases from five selected plants. results showed significant difference in population among varieties. depicted that maximum seasonal...
Cotton is an important cash crop of Pakistan and export commodity.Yield cotton affected by many factors but insect pests especially whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) destroying yield quality in recent times.Many control measures are adopted against this pest including chemical methods.Due to certain environmental issues insecticide resistance problems, adoption alternate methods imperative.In experiment we used some insecticides alone combination with Salicylic acid B....
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), a member of the Pedaliaceae family, is referred to as queen oilseeds. There are numerous barriers its production and productivity, including lack economically feasible technically adequate manufacturing technology, but insect pests particularly, sesame leaf webber (Antigastra catalaunalis) Mirid Bug (Creontiadus dilutes) play prime role in declining potential yield. In this study, five treatments, viz. T1:2-WAE (weeks after emergence), T2:2,4-WAE, T3: 2,4,6 WAE,...
Red spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, causes severe damage to economically important crops, fruits, vegetables, ornamentals etc. Management of red mite largely depends on chemicals. Application insecticides may cause massive outbreaks population. Sublethal effects imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and acetamiprid doses were investigated life-table parameters mite. All neonicotinoids revealed significant life characteristics i.e. development duration fecundity Mites treated with significantly...
Nanotechnology is a well advanced area and different types of nanoparticles are now produced. The most revolutionary topic the twenty-first century nanotechnology. Recently, metallic (NPs) have gained lot attention. In this study straightforward, safe, economical method used for synthesizing copper (CuNPs) by using cell free filtrate Aspergillus niger. Fungi secretes enormous amount enzymes which act as reducing stabilizing agents. Synthesized CuNPs were characterized techniques. Ultraviolet...
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) commonly known as gram is a widely cultivated grain legume crop in the Leguminosae (Fabaceae) family. Gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera) most damaging pest of chickpea that damages various parts plants at different growth stages. Various physio-morphological characteristics tend to affect infestation wall thickness, trichomes density, and color. For this purpose, research was conducted field area Entomological Research Institute, AARI, Faisalabad. Nine Kabuli...
The chickpea pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Hübner) is most severe insect pest in Asian countries due to its high mobility, fecundity rate and overlapping generations (Sarode, 1999).On an average, it causes 30-40% yield loss Abstract | Pod (Helicoverpa armigera) economically vital pests for chickpeas caused huge losses south countries.Host plant resistance, physio-morphic characters counteract the ability of demage cause minimum reduction yield.The experiment was conducted...
C otton, Gossypium hirsutum L., is backbone of economy Pakistan.It plays an important role in foreign exchange soenhance the country's economy.The production cotton crop 1% GDP while accounts for 5.2% agriculture value addition (Anonymous, 2017) and overall was 8.2 million 480-pound bales from area 2.8m ha 2018).The attack sucking insects pests like jassid, A. devastans (Dist.),whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.)and thrips, Thrips tabaci(Lind.)on (Gouda et al., 2014) has been increased due to...
