The rate of predation by stage IV instar Toxorhynchites splendens larvae on the equivalent instar stage larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus and Armigeres subalbatus, co-occurring in sewage drains, were noted for a period of three consecutive days in the laboratory using different prey densities and combinations. The rate of predation varied by age of the predator, density of prey, and prey type. T...

In arctic and boreal ecosystems, ground bryophytes play an important role in regulating carbon (C) exchange between vast belowground C stores the atmosphere. Climate is changing particularly fast these high-latitude regions, but it unclear how altered precipitation regimes will affect dynamics bryosphere (i.e. moss layer including senesced moss, litter associated biota) closely upper humus laye...

Premenstrual syndrome is a common chronic disorder in most women of reproductive age. The main symptoms are depression, anxiety, tension, feeling out of control, and mastalgia. In premenstrual syndrome, the effects of aromatic edible Elsholtzia splendens and Cirsium japonicum were investigated for over 3 months in 30 women participants in their twenties. In the Elsholtzia splendens capsule trea...

The growth of Achnatherum splendens (A. splendens) inhibits the dominant grassland herbaceous species, resulting in a loss biomass and worsening ecological environment. Therefore, it is crucial to identify dynamic development A. adequately. This study intended offer transformer-based detection model named YOLO-Sp through ground-based visible spectrum proximal sensing images. achieved 98.4% 95.4...

Pot and field experiments were conducted to evaluate bioavailability of Cu in contaminated paddy soil (PS) and phytoremediation potential by Elsholtzia splendens as affected by soil amendments. The results from pot experiment showed that organic manure (M) applied to the PS not only remarkably raised the H2O exchangeable Cu, which were mainly due to the increased exchangeable and organic fracti...

The effects of copper (Cu) on the yield and Cu uptake of three ecotypes of Elsholtzia splendens and one of Elsholtzia argyi were studied using solution culture. Three Cu concentrations were compared: 0.31 (control), 50 and 100 micromol L(-1). Although E. argyi took up more Cu in the aboveground parts, typical visual symptoms of Cu toxicity appeared when the plants grew in 50 and 100 micromol Cu...

Problems in species recognition are thought to affect the evolution of secondary sexual characters mainly through avoidance of maladaptive hybridization. Another, but much less studied avenue for the evolution of sexual characters due to species recognition problems is through interspecific aggression. In the damselfly, Calopteryx splendens, males have pigmented wing spots as a sexual character...

Examination of type material for Ulnaria splendens, aequalis and obtusa provides evidence to support each as a distinct definable taxon. None can be considered more closely related any other species in the genus are therefore all recognised at same rank, that species. We briefly discuss five further taxa involve name Synedra splendens: splendens var. marina, salina, brevis, subspathulata (ulna ...
