Author Information Genelyn G. Madjos  from the Institute of the  Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science and Mathematics, Western Mindanao State University, Zamboanga City, Philippines Journal Name Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences | JBES Abstract Nickel miningposed a serious environmental problem due to run-offs and tailings. To address this, current techniques include excavation, chemical stabilization and soil flushing, but these methods are costly and impractical. One of the ecologically accepted treatments is phytoremediation. With the capacity of Centella asiatica (gotu kola) to thrive in moist soils with domestic effluents, this present study sought to evaluate its phytoremediation potential by employing an experimental design with three replicates of: (a

In this study, 150 specimens of the Sphecini tribe (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae: Sphecinae), collected from different region of Iraq are investigated.

Nine species belonging to two genera were determined; this species are: Sphex flavipennis Fabricius, S. pruinosus Germar, S. zubaidiyacus Augul, Prionyx crudelis (F. Smith), P. macula (Fabricius), P. stschurowskii (Radoszkowski), Prionyx viduatus (Christ,), Prionyx lividocinctus (A. Costa), Prionyx niveatus (Dufour) and Prionyx kirbii (van der Linden).

The last two species have been recorded for the first time in Iraq. Identification keys to genera, species and figured of male genitalia are illustrated.
