Evolutionary models estimating phenotypic selection in character size usually assume that the character is invariant across reproductive bouts. We show that variation in the size of reproductive traits may be large over multiple events and can influence fitness in organisms where these traits are produced anew each season. With data from populations of two orchid species, Caladenia valida and T...

The starred for-adverbial in (1a) reflects standard judgments: in the presence of a DP direct object like a cake—which following terminology by Borer (2005) is referred to here as a Q(uantity)-DP— with an incremental theme verb like eat, the VP is telic. In contrast, in (1b), with a mass noun direct object like cake—referred to here as a non-Q-DP—the VP is atelic. Although these are the pattern...

Gymnnocnemia editaerevayae nov. sp. is described from the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco and compared to Gymnocneinia variegata Schneider, 1845. Descriptions of male genitalia and male and female terminalia of G. variegata are provided. Both species are illustrated.

A central topic in work on ellipsis is the parallelism between missing VPs and their antecedents. There is evidence that parallelism is conditioned both syntactically and semantically. This has resulted in complex hybrid principles that regulate both syntactic structures and their interpretations (e.g., Fox 1995, 2000). We present an alternative, unified account based on parallelism of semantic...

Previous field and laboratory studies have identified the alga Lobophora variegata as a good candidate for biomonitoring metal contamination in the New Caledonia lagoon which is subjected to intensive and extensive metal inputs from land-based mining activities. The aim of this work was to further assess the bioindicative potential of this species by investigating, in the field, its bioaccumula...

The sea height level along Libyan coasts is considered one of the environmental pressures that lives in soil vegetation characteristics. Therefore, two experiments were conducted (laboratory - pots) to find out effect irrigation with seawater at concentration (10%, 20%, 40%, 60%) on germination seeds and seedlings Bauhinia variegate trees an age 6 months, treated using pre-soaking gibberellin a...

Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm xác định lượng ăn vào và khả năng tiêu hóa lá sắn dây (Pueraria thomsoni Benth.) vông (Erythrina variegate L.) của thỏ lai (New Zealand x Địa Phương). Mười sáu đực bố trí ngẫu nhiên 2 nghiệm thức với 8 lần lặp lại. Ở mỗi thức, tương ứng 100% hoặc dạng tươi. Kết quả thu cho thấy trong cả giai đoạn thí ở giống nhau (p>0,05). Tỷ lệ vật chất khô (DM), hữu cơ (OM), ...
