Non-significant intersexual differences in millipede mass

Interspecific and intersexual learning rate differences in four butterfly species.

Learning plays an important role in food acquisition for a wide range of insects and has been demonstrated to be essential during flower foraging in taxa such as bees, parasitoid wasps, butterflies and moths. However, little attention has been focused on differences in floral cue learning abilities among species and sexes. We examined the associative learning of flower colour with nectar in fou...

In search of significant differences.

Consider reading the following: "After lengthy study, no statistically significant differences were found between male and female subjects, however, the trend shows ...’" or "Variables 1 and 2 were significantly different at the 0.01 level, but variables 3 and 4 were different at only the 0.05 level; however, variables 5 and 6 were different at the 0.001 level." Such statements indicate a basic...

Intersexual conflict in spiders

Reproductive strategies of males and females usually differ and. as a consequence, may impose asymmetric costs of reproduction on tire two sexes and result in conflict between the sexes. In spiders, males do not provide parental care and females can store sufficient sperm for several clutches. These characteristics define the stage for a conflict between males and females that occurs mainly ove...

The ejected mass distribution of Type Ia supernovae: a significant rate of non-Chandrasekhar-mass progenitors

The ejected mass distribution of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) directly probes progenitor evolutionary history and explosionmechanisms,with implications for their use as cosmological probes. Although the Chandrasekhar mass is a natural mass scale for the explosion of white dwarfs as SNe Ia, models allowing SNe Ia to explode at other masses have attracted much recent attention. Using an empirical ...
