DNA sequencing

COI amplification used the pair of primers, FishF1 and FishR1(Ward et al., 2005). PCR was carried out in Thermo Cycler with a 25 μL volumes, containing 8.5 μL sterile nuclease free water, 2 μL of each primer , 12.5 μL Go Taq® Green Master Mix (Promega Inc, U.S.A.) and 2 μL of template DNA. PCR program used a thermal profile, including a preliminary denaturation for 2 minutes at 95 °C followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 40 seconds, annealing at 52°C for 40 seconds, and extension at 72°C for 90 seconds, and finally a single extra extension at 72°C for 5 minutes. PCR products were confirmed via gel electrophoresis using 1.5% agarose gel stained with SybrGreen fluorescent dye for band characterization through Gel Imaging System. Subsequently, PCR products were sent for sequencing at Sangon Biotech Cooperation Ltd (Shanghai, P.R. China)

What are the 15 Most Dangerous Animals in Africa?

Africa is home to some of the world’s most powerful and dangerous wildlife. While most wild animals avoid humans, certain species can become dangerous when threatened, surprised, or approached too closely. Here are 15 animals known for causing serious injuries or posing significant risks to people. 1. 🦛 Hippopotamus Despite its slow appearance, the hippopotamus can be extremely aggressive, especially near water. It has powerful jaws and large canine teeth and can seriously injure or kill people. 2. 🐊 Nile Crocodile The Nile crocodile is a powerful ambush predator. It can attack animals and people who get too close to the water’s edge. 3. 🐘 African Elephant Elephants are generally peaceful when left undisturbed, but they can become dangerous when threatened, particularly females protecting calves and males during periods of heightened aggression. 4. 🦁 African Lion As Africa’s largest big cat, lions have the strength and hunting ability to kill large prey. Although attacks o...

22 IMPORTANT POPULATION ECOLOGY TERMS

1. POPULATION Is a group of individuals of the same species that interact with each other in the same place at the same time. 2. DEMOGRAPHY: The study of vital statistics of a population, including birth and death rates, age of first breeding, and fecundity. 3. BIRTH RATE: The average number of births per individual per unit of time. 4. DEATH RATE: The average number of deaths per individual per unit of time. 5. CARRYING CAPACITY (K): is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other necessities available in the environment. The point where the realized growth of a population equals zero due to density-dependent factors that affect birth and death rates. 6. DENSITY : The number of individuals per area within the range of a species. 7. DENSITY- DEPENDENT FACTORS: Factors (e.g., disease, starvation, lack of nesting space) that cause declines in birth rates or increases in death rates due to intra...
