Overwintering of arthropods in soils of arable fields and adjacent semi-natural habitats
In order to determine the significance of field margins for the overwintering of arthropods in agricultural landscapes, different sites of an integrated and of an organically managed farm were investigated in the northwest of Switzerland. During December 1995 and January 1996, soil samples were taken with an electronic-hydraulic soil borer (depth: 25 cm, diameter: 8 cm). After hand sorting the ...
متن کاملOn the Verges of Overconfidence
E conomists have been concerned about issues of overconfidence at least since Adam Smith (1776, Book I, Chapter X), who wrote in The Wealth of Nations: “The over-weening conceit which the greater part of men have of their own abilities, is an ancient evil remarked by the philosophers and moralists of all ages.” Titans of modern economics have had similar reactions to the “ancient evil.” Daniel ...
متن کاملOverwintering in Tegu Lizards
The tegu, Tupinambis merianae, is a large South American teiid lizard, which is active only during part of the year (hot summer months), spending the cold winter months sheltered in burrows in the ground. This pattern of activity is accompanied by seasonal changes in preferred body temperature, metabolism, and cardiorespiratory function. In the summer months these changes are quite large, but d...
متن کاملRole of Spermidine in Overwintering of Cyanobacteria.
UNLABELLED Polyamines are found in all groups of cyanobacteria, but their role in environmental adaptation has been barely investigated. In Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, inactivation of spermidine synthesis genes significantly reduced the survivability under chill (5°C)-light stress, and the survivability could be restored by addition of spermidine. To analyze the effects of spermidine on ...
متن کاملGeotropic Orientation in Arthropods
The creeping of the beetle Tetraopes tetraopthalmus during negatively geotropic orientation shows the angles of orientation (theta) on a surface inclined at alpha degrees to the horizontal to be proportional to sin alpha. The direction of orientation easily suffers temporary reversal to positive as result of handling. Mechanical stability during upward progression should be just possible when K...
