Do functional traits improve prediction of predation rates for a disparate group of aphid predators?
Aphid predators are a systematically disparate group of arthropods united on the basis that they consume aphids as part of their diet. In Europe, this group includes Araneae, Opiliones, Heteroptera, chrysopids, Forficulina, syrphid larvae, carabids, staphylinids, cantharids and coccinellids. This functional group has no phylogenetic meaning but was created by ecologists as a way of understandin...
متن کاملPositive Predator–predator Interactions: Enhanced Predation Rates and Synergistic Suppression of Aphid Populations
Interactions among predators can a have substantial effect on the total impact of the predator complex. We investigated the interaction between foliar-foraging (Coccinella septempunctata) and ground-foraging (Harpalus pennsylvanicus) predators of the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) in a series of laboratory and field experiments. The intensity and direction of the interaction were determined by...
متن کاملAvoiding bias in cards cryptography
Public key cryptography bases its security on mathematical problems that are computationally hard to solve. There are also cryptographic protocols wherein discovering the secret is not too complex given the current state of technology, but logically impossible. One approach involves the use of a random deck of cards for such protocols. The messages in the protocol consist of announcements made ...
متن کاملTAMH: A Useful In Vitro Model for Assessing Hepatotoxic Mechanisms
In vitro models for hepatotoxicity can be useful tools to predict in vivo responses. In this review, we discuss the use of the transforming growth factor-α transgenic mouse hepatocyte (TAMH) cell line, which is an attractive model to study drug-induced liver injury due to its ability to retain a stable phenotype and express drug-metabolizing enzymes. Hepatotoxicity involves damage to the liver ...
متن کاملProviding A Model for Management Earnings Forecast Bias
Despite The Important Role That Management Profit Forecasting Plays In The Decision Making Of Capital Market Actors, These Predictions Appear To Be Biased. In The Attempt To Measure The Bias Of Predicting Profit Management, Numerous One- Dimensional Measurement Tools Have Been Proposed In The Accounting And Finance Literature. Despite These Efforts, No Comprehensive Composite Index Has Been Dev...
