Time limitation, egg limitation, the cost of oviposition, and lifetime reproduction by an insect in nature.
For more than 80 years, ecologists have debated whether reproduction by female insect herbivores and parasitoids is constrained by the time needed to find hosts (time limitation) or by the finite supply of mature eggs (egg limitation). Here we present the first direct measures of permanent time limitation and egg limitation and their influences on the cost of oviposition and lifetime reproducti...
متن کاملEgg maturation, egg resorption and the costliness of transient egg limitation in insects.
Although there is widespread agreement that the cost of oviposition underlies selective oviposition in insects, there is no consensus regarding which factors mediate the cost of oviposition. Models have suggested that egg costs are often paramount in those insects that do not continue to mature eggs during the adult stage (pro-ovigenic insects). Here we address the hypothesis that egg costs are...
متن کاملA Fundamental Limitation of Symbol-Argument-Argument Notation As a Model of Human Relational Representations
Human mental representations are both structure-sensitive (i.e., symbolic) and semantically rich. Connectionist models have well-known limitations in capturing the structuresensitivity of mental representations, while traditional symbolic models based on varieties of symbol-argumentargument notation (SAA) have difficulty capturing their semantic richness. We argue that this limitation of SAA is...
متن کاملAn argument for Hamiltonicity
A constant-round interactive argument is introduced to show existence of a Hamiltonian cycle in a directed graph. Graph is represented with a characteristic polynomial, top coefficient of a verification polynomial is tested to fit the cycle, soundness follows from Schwartz-Zippel lemma.
متن کاملAn argument for intolerance.
"Multiculturalism", "pluralism" and "tolerance" have become buzz words in applied ethics. While serious and well thought out work is going on in these areas, a misunderstanding of the importance of tolerance, and the difficulties raised by multicultural moral conflict seems common. In this paper I argue that intolerance of some cultural traditions is morally required, and suggest that the forgi...
