A diallel analysis of gregarious oviposition in Drosophila melanogaster

Toxicological Evaluation of a New Lepidopteran Insecticide, Flubendiamide, in Non-Target Drosophila melanogaster Meigen (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Background: Flubendiamide, comparatively a new pesticide designed to eradicate lepidopteran insect pests is known to have low risk to birds, mammals, fish, algae, honey bees, non-target arthropods, earthworms, soil macro- and micro-organisms, non-target plants as well as sewage treatment organisms; however, the risk assessment for aquatic invertebrates from metabolite could not be finalized wit...

a swot analysis of the english program of a bilingual school in iran

با توجه به جایگاه زبان انگلیسی به عنوان زبانی بین المللی و با در نظر گرفتن این واقعیت که دولت ها و مسئولان آموزش و پرورش در سراسر جهان در حال حاضر احساس نیاز به ایجاد موقعیتی برای کودکان جهت یاد گیری زبان انگلیسی درسنین پایین در مدارس دو زبانه می کنند، تحقیق حاضر با استفاده از مدل swot (قوت ها، ضعف ها، فرصتها و تهدیدها) سعی در ارزیابی مدرسه ای دو زبانه در ایران را دارد. جهت انجام این تحقیق در م...

Cancer brings forward oviposition in the fly Drosophila melanogaster

Hosts often accelerate their reproductive effort in response to a parasitic infection, especially when their chances of future reproduction decrease with time from the onset of the infection. Because malignancies usually reduce survival, and hence potentially the fitness, it is expected that hosts with early cancer could have evolved to adjust their life-history traits to maximize their immedia...

Gene-Environment Interplay on Oviposition Site Selection in Drosophila melanogaster

The underlying mechanisms of decision-making behaviour are poorly understood. Oviposition site selection (OSS) in the Drosophila melanogaster fruit fly provides a useful system for studying simple decision-making. OSS is influenced by both genetic and environmental variation. Variation of the foraging gene (for) is known to affect OSS. Given a choice of highand low-nutrient oviposition sites, g...
