Natural product extraction is ingenuity that permits the mass manufacturing of specific products in a cost-effective manner. With aim obtaining an alternative chitosan supply, carapace dead horseshoe crabs seemed feasible. This sparked investigation structural changes and antioxidant capacity crab (HCH) by γ-irradiation using 60Co source. Chitosan was extracted from (Tachypleus gigas; Müller) heterogeneous chemical N-deacetylation chitin, followed irradiation HCH at dose-dependent rate 10...
This dataset presents morphological features, elemental composition and functional groups of different pre- post-gamma (γ)-irradiated chitosan (10kGy & 20kGy) prepared from shrimp waste. The γ-irradiated was characterized using Fourier transfer infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) were performed Perkin Elmer Pyris Diamond DSC with a heating rate 10 °C/minute dynamic synthetic atmospheric air set at flow 100...
Abstract Background Eurycoma longifolia ( E. ) , Labisia pumila L. and Orthosiphon stamineus O. are popular species known for their therapeutic properties. An increase in local demand herbal products makes them susceptible to adulteration, which poses a risk safety efficacy. Current identification methods, such as organoleptic, microscopic, macroscopic analysis, need be revised identify plant highly processed due limited ability detect morphological features provide comprehensive taxonomy...
Species distribution models are used to predict ideal grounds, species range, and spatial shifts in an ecology over a span of time.With aim use Maximum entropy model (MaxEnt), presence records pseudo-absence points the Tachypleus gigas spawning activity for 2030 2050 northeast India.The bearings sixty T. grounds identified 2018 were inserted into ArcGIS v.10.1.Meanwhile, 19 environment variables MaxEnt v. 3.3.3,before performance was tested using receiver operational characteristics area...
The Setiu Wetlands, a unique area with nine interconnected habitats, comprises considerable fraction of the total Peninsular Malaysia’s wetland flora. Although botanical collecting in has been active past 10 years, only few studies dealing flora have published. Thus, detailed checklist this is urgently needed to ensure continuity its inter-relating and fauna, as well livelihood local people. In work we conducted survey vascular plant Wetlands investigated most important plants used by...
Horseshoe crabs have survived until Holocene, but their persistence beyond the Anthropocene is challenged by drastic environment changes that entail impoverishments and resultant unusual growth sizes.Previously, allometry via morphometric ratio was introduced to classify horseshoe into normal-abnormal growth.However, descriptive size weight analysis indicated a considerable portion of Tachypleus gigas with normal allometry.This error caused median sorting values.Therefore, same data treated...
The Tachypleus tridentatus (Chelicerata: Xiphosura) is an arthropod that usually displays high site fidelity by restricting its distribution to natal vicinities.Briefly, shore perturbation from boating (Kudat), electric, cyanide and bombing (Kunak) tourism (Semporna) in Sabah can impair the T. growth produce sexually mature adults with unusual size.The 8-point morphometry of Kudat (Sulu Sea), Kunak Semporna (Celebes produces final output constituting accurate size classification for...
Although horseshoe crabs have ecological and biomedical value, their restricted distribution in the northeast coast (Odisha, West Bengal) to a limited number of researchers made them an understudied arthropod India.With objective that uses 'desktop review' for crab ecology, biology life cycle India, it is learnt actions conserve T. gigas C. rotundicauda are still implementing stages.In Asia, Tachypleus Carcinoscorpius present sandy muddy intertidal zones, which termed nursery feeding grounds...
Summary The rattan genus Korthalsia Blume (Arecaceae: Calamoideae: Calameae) is widespread in the Malesian region. Among 28 accepted species are 10 that form intimate associations with ants. ants inhabit conspicuous ocreas produced by these species, using them as domatia to care for their young and aphids. As a foundation future work, we present here taxonomic treatment of myrmecophilous based on extensive research pursued both herbarium field. In addition, conduct detailed morphological...
Purpose Birds are biological indicators for environment health in which their sightings and abundance could reflect a certain situation or become evaluation tool co-existence of another species. Here, the study aims to observe urban settlements with substantial forestation, may it be artificial natural, occurrence bird assemblage across time. Considering foraging activity birds hardcoded sustainability, spatial overlap resultant into service provision, can mean, baseline an expected...
Understanding local community attitudes toward wildlife and environment is critical for making context-sensitive conservation planning management decisions while facilitating better human–wildlife coexistence among Indian coastline communities. We conducted questionnaire-based interviews with 388 households from12 different villages in Balasore, Odisha between September 2018 February 2019. A theoretical framework was constructed by categorizing variables to explain par them key factors...
Leaf epidermal characteristics are essential for phylogenetic and taxonomic studies of many plants. Among the family Zingiberaceae, Alpinia is recorded as largest genus. This study aimed to identify leaf micromorphological genus that can be used in species identification supportive data classification also determine value their characteristics. In fact, has been studied less Malaysia requires more supporting identification. Hence, a conducted on eight Alpinia, which assimilis, A. javanica,...
The notched threadfin bream, Nemipterus peronii, is captured using a gill net or trap (bubu) in Malaysia.Accessibility to 5 locations and 42 samples enabled the present investigation.Samples originating from nearshore environments accumulated Cr, Cu, Fe, Se lesser quantities than open water samples.For size-to-weight evaluations, fish caught bubu weighed less those nets.Although correlation was poor for their location (p = 0.066), data better correlated ~0.30-0.60)for accumulation of Fe...
This data article is on riparian vegetation species richness in four different streams located the Sultan Mahmud Hydroelectric dam, also known as Kenyir dam and commonly referred to Tasik Kenyir, Terengganu. The dataset consists of three reservoir-island other a small stream mainland. A total 41 families 90 plants were reported for first time after 34 years establishment dam. Trees contributing 60% recorded this study others non-tree species, including climbers, ferns, epiphyte, herbs,...
Abstract Malaysia’s biodiversity forests are producing numerous species of plants. Books, picture walls, posters, and brochures often use to display these plants’ static images promote wilderness treasures. Though the fits its purpose, they less attractive in providing information. ARPlant prototype provides an interactive application that enhances rainforest information displayed using mobile platform. We Mobile Application Development Lifecycle (MADLC) design develop ARPlant. gauge...
Abstract. Shahimi S, Jamaludin AA, Ahmad A. 2023. Species richness and phytogeographic affinities of rattan genus Korthalsia in Malaysia. Biodiversitas 24: 5764-5778. The clustering climbing palm Blume (Arecaceae: Calamoideae: Calameae) is widespread the Malesian region with 28 documented species. However, as many 18 species are available Malaysian rainforests. An inquiry was carried out 2019 throughout Malaysia that included for Korthalsia. Currently, highly diverse Sabah Sarawak, 15 this...
