Attraction of wild male fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), was compared in trapping experiments during 2005-2009 in Florida. Traps were baited either with a commercial sex pheromone lure or corn and rice strain females obtained from laboratory colonies. Over 6,900 male moths were collected, and a large subset (>1,500) of these moths was analyzed for their host strain identity. ...

The effectiveness of a four-component "super lure" consisting of ethanol (E) and the cerambycid pheromones syn-2,3-hexanediol (D6), racemic 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one (K6), and racemic 3-hydroxyoctan-2-one (K8) on trap catches of Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) was determined in southeast United States with seven trapping experiments in 2011-2013. We captured 74 species of longhorn beetles in our three-yea...

Using event-related fMRI, Bunzeck and Düzel show that midbrain regions putatively housing dopamine cell bodies activate more for novel pictures than for negative pictures, pictures requiring a motor response, or repeated pictures. These findings indicate that midbrain regions preferentially respond to novelty and suggest that novelty can serve as its own reward.

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County joined with regional collaborators to monitor brown marmorated stink bug [BMSB, Halyomorpha halys (Stål)], populations in two fruit orchards using newly developed USDA # 10/20 pheromone lures. 12 traps were set near the forest borders adjacent to a 20-acre peach, a 10-acre apple orchard, and a 25-acre mixed (apple, peach, vegetable, cherries etc.)...

The culmination of artist Aya Ben Ron's six-month residence at the Wellcome Trust in London has been hanging dramatically in the main atrium of the building throughout the summer. The 25-metre-long " Hanging " glistens with kaleidoscopic, colourful images and patterns but on closer scrutiny holds a darker message. The colourful images are revealed to comprise images of various human diseases an...

Although organizational scholars have begun to study virtual work, they have yet to fully grapple with its diversity. We draw on semiotics to distinguish among three types of virtual work (virtual teams, remote control, and simulations) based on what it is that a technology makes virtual and whether work is done with or on, through, or within representations. Of the three types, simulations hav...

Memory is considered to be a flexible and reconstructive system. However, there little experimental evidence demonstrating how associations are falsely constructed in memory, even less known about the role of self memory construction. We investigated whether false involving non-presented stimuli can episodic plays such In two experiments, we paired participants’ own names (i.e., self-reference)...

conclusions regarding the results, it could be suggested that the reason for not being able to control diabetes was the existence of differences among viewpoints while by getting to know the obstacles for controlling diabetes from the viewpoints of the three studied groups, more effective planning for controlling diabetes could be possible. results the results of this research showed that there...
