A study for tribe Coccinellini (Coccinellidae, Coeloptera) was conducted in south of Syria. The objective of this study was to determine the species and their relative abundance. Members of this tribe important for biological control because they are primariy predators on aphids. The adults Coccinellids were collected from agriclture and natural ecosystems from August 2001 the end of July 2003. The results revealed the presence of 10 species belonging to 8 genera. The investigation included their abundance and distribution in south of Syria. The species Anisosticta novemdecimpunctata (L.) was recorded in Syria for the first time. The Adonis ladybird, Hippodamia (Adonia) variegata (Goeze), was the commonest species. and the most abundant ones were H. variegata (Goeze) 44.9%, Oenopia conglobata (L.) 27.7% and Coccinella septempunctata L. 10.5%.

This research concludes an determination of some Culicinae mosquitoes distributed in south of Syria. The study show that there are 14 species, 3 of them were recorded for the first time in the study area, these 3 species were described, illustrate d , and distinguished from related species ,the seasonal reproduction and the habitat types of these were studied . (Culex perexiguus , Cx.sinaiticus , Cx.territans).
This study was conducted on predator Coccinella septempunctata at laboratory conditions , under average of temperature 20± 2Cº. Results confirmed: Average of life cycle time was :27.3±4.1 days ( egg development time 6.5±0.5 , larvae 13.2±0.5 , pup a 7.5±0.5 days).Also the study of predation efficiency showed that the average number of aphids consumed by each of the four instars larvae were (57.9±10.6 , 63.7±9.4 , 66.5±8.3 , and 348±43.4) respectively. Therefore the fourth larva instar seemed more predation efficiency, as compared to other three instars ,it consumed double that the three instars consumed, but adult consumed 121±4.5 number of aphids in one day.
A Laboratory study was conducted during 2010 on the biology of seed beetles: Callosobruchus chinensis, C. maculatus and C. analis (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) on lentil seeds for the first specie and chickpea seeds for the last two species. These beetles completed 10, 8 and 5 generations respectively when they were active (from March to November for the first and second species and from April to October for the third species ). C. maculatus laid an average of 100.29 ± 18.26 eggs over a period of 11.14 ± 0.64 days, C. chinensis laid 83.29 ± 6.32 eggs over 6.43 ± 0.49 days and C. analis 75.29 ± 9.05 eggs over 6.71 ± 0.70 days. The total development process from egg to adult takes an average of 25.87 ± 3.29, 31.43 ± 5.09 and 35.36 ± 3.49 days respectively for species under the ambient laboratory conditions. There was no difference in the development time between males and females except for C. maculatus, where the male emerged about twelve hours before the female. Sex ratio (male: female) was more in favour of female than male in C. chinensis (1: 1.1) and more in favour of male than female in C. maculatus (1.1: 1), but equal in C. analis (1: 1). The parasite wasp Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard, 1881) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) could be considered the first recorded on C. maculatus in Syria.
Primary survey study of the Bryidae has been reported in this research, whithin range of Biodiversity and Ecodiversity in Syria. We found ٢٩ species, which has been identified, and defined their distribution in different places in the north and so uth of the country, also the identification of the most important peristome as a scales of classification, the nature of growth substrates, has been investigated. Three of these Bryidae recorded for first time which is: Tortella tortuosa, Grimmia laevigata, Bryum caespiticium.
This study aims to define bird species that use artificial lakes in Syrian coast, and evaluate their population size for management and protection of wildlife. Four different sites were chosen in Syrian coast, which considered the most important ar tificial lakes. Point counts method was used in bird survey in November, December, January, February, March in 2011. 15 waterbird species were recorded belonging to 9 family and 6 order. Wading birds were the main component of waterbird (60% of all species) in Syrian coast. Populations size was 1 to 300 individuals. Diversity of birds and their Populations were greatest in sites which are rich in food ( especially fish). The results showed a difference in composition of bird communities in studied sites.
