Ageing: Longevity, Successful and Positive

the biological parameters of sympiesis striatipes ashmead, one of the most abundant hymenopterous ectoparasitoid of phyllocnistis citrella stainton in ehime province of japan, were studied under laboratory and field conditions. the mean immature developmental time and adult longevity at different temperatures (22 to 31â°c), 50-70% rh and 12l: 12d photoperiod decreased as the temperature increas...

the biology of chrysocharis pentheus (walker) (hymenoptera: eulophidae), the most abundant endoparasitoid of phyllocnistis citrella stainton (lepidoptera: gracillariidae) in ehime prefecture, japan, was studied under laboratory and field conditions. the mean immature developmental time and adult longevity at different temperatures (22 to 31°c) under 50-70% rh decreased as the temperature increa...

Genetic parameters of longevity in crossbred Mule ewes, and genetic relationships among longevity, growth, body composition, and subjectively assessed traits on Mule lambs and ewes have been estimated using Bayesian linear censored models. Additionally, the genetic associations between longevity and culling reasons were examined. Data comprised 1,797 observations of Mule ewes for longevity, cul...

to investigate effect of calcium and growth medium on lilium (asiatic hybrid lilium bulbs “tresor” cultivar) and nutrients uptake, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted by three levels of calcium in nutrient solution (2, 4 and 6 mm*) and five growth media (100% perlite, 70% perlite + 30% cocopeat, 50% perlite + 50% cocopeat, 30% perlite + 70% cocopeat, 100% ...

BACKGROUND Individuals with exceptional longevity and their offspring manifest a lower prevalence of age-related diseases than families without longevity. However, the contribution of dietary habits to protection from disease has not been systematically assessed in families with exceptional longevity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to compare dietary patterns between individuals with pare...
