MITOCHONDRIAL DNA AND DISTRIBUTION MODELLING EVIDENCED THE LOST GENETIC DIVERSITY AND WILD-RESIDENCE OF STAR TORTOISE, GEOCHELONE ELEGANS (TESTUDINES: TESTUDINIDAE) IN INDIA

The Indian star tortoise (Geochelone elegans) is a massively traded animal in South Asia.To mitigate this risk, the conservation agencies recommended guidelines to safeguard this charismatic species in nature.We adopted mitochondrial DNA-based investigation and performed species distribution modeling of G.elegans throughout its distribution range i

AbstractIn developing countries, economic inequality is attracting considerable attention.Many factors including financial exclusion are key in explaining income gap in developing countries.This paper examines the effect of access to financial services through digital technologies on income inequality.Using data from the World Development Indicator

RNA interference (RNAi) has previously been shown to be effective in western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) larvae via oral delivery of synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in an artificial diet bioassay, as well as by ingestion of transgenic corn plant tissues engineered to express dsRNA.Although the RNAi machinery co
