Temperature shapes the processes and outcomes of behaviors that occur throughout progression insect arachnid mating interactions reproduction. Here, we highlight how temperature impacts precopulatory activity levels, competition among rivals, communication with potential mates, relative costs benefits mating. We review both prevailing conditions during reproductive temperatures experienced earl...

introduction recently, employment of rotary tillers has been expanded in gardens and small farms, especially in the northern of iran. however using the l-shaped blades in the conventional rotary tillers have some problems such as severe vibration problems, weeds stucking around the blades, forming the plow pan and lower performance due to the less powers of such small rototillers. therefore in ...

INTRODUCTION: The choice of gradient sampling orientations for DT-MRI experiments has exercised many groups in the field. Of particular interest is the design of sampling schemes that will ensure that the error / variance in tensor estimates is independent of the relative orientation of the tensor to the reference frame established by the sampling vectors, which others have termed ‘statistical ...

Tunnel lining internal defect detection is essential for the safe operation of tunnels. This paper presents an automatic scheme based on rotational region deformable convolutional neural network (R 2 DCNN) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) images accurate defects rebars with arbitrary orientations. The R DCNN comprises inter-related modules, specifically, convolution, feature fusion, rotated m...

effects of mating sex ratios on production performance in indian peafowl were investigated at punjabwildlife research institute, gatwala faisalabad. research was conducted from may through august 2007 toexplore the most productive mating sex ratio. the sex ratios have a significant effect on egg production.maximum mean eggs (1.63) were produced by the sex ratio 1:2 while maximum egg fertility (...

Cells sense and respond to diverse environmental stimuli using a set of intracellular signaling components. Often, the signal transduction pathways contain shared components which lead to cross activation at different levels of the pathway. To discover the design principles that ensure signaling specificity is a challenging task, especially for pathways that contain numerous components. Here, w...

Rearing environment can have an impact on adult behavior, but it is less clear how rearing environment influences adult behavior plasticity. Here we explore the effect of rearing temperature on adult mating behavior plasticity in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana, a species that has evolved two seasonal forms in response to seasonal changes in temperature. These seasonal forms differ in both morph...
