Ten species of the genus Lista are recognized from China. Among them, five species are described as new to science, namely, Lista angustusasp. n., Lista gilvasasp. n., Lista longifundamenasp. n., Lista menghaiensissp. n., and Lista sichuanensissp. n. Diagnoses are provided for the genus and five previously described species, Lista haraldusalis (Walker, 1859), Lista insulsalis (Lederer, 1863), L...

On the other hand, and to our surprise , fructosamine concentrations in the survey specimens were higher in the ABA-VP (3/') than in the Multistat (x') and least-squares regression of those data (n = 24) gave the equation:

Most studies of predator-induced plasticity have focused on documenting how prey species respond to predators by modifying phenotypic traits and how traits correlate with fitness. We have previously shown that Pleurodema thaul tadpoles exposed to the dragonfly Rhionaeschna variegata responded strongly by showing morphological changes, less activity, and better survival than non-exposed tadpoles...

Unaccusativity, or split intransitivity, refers to the generalization that intransitive verbs divide into two subclasses, unaccusatives and unergatives. While the core arguments of unaccusatives share common properties with direct objects of transitive verbs, the core arguments of unergatives do so with transitive subjects. The Unaccusative Hypothesis (Perlmutter 1978; Burzio 1986) accounts for...

Gamma irradiation treatments have commonly been applied to induce variation in plant genetic improvement programs. The of nyawai (Ficus variegata Blume) is urgently needed mainly break the seed dormancy, increase seedling growth, and for selecting desired traits. This research aimed assess effect gamma doses on germination, leaf morphology Ficus variegate Blume. experiment's ranged from 5-240 G...
