Discrepancies in scale dynamics often make cohesive structural conclusions difficult, especially when dealing with ecological variance. We studied presence and abundance of grasshopper species in similar, yet distinct, montane habitat of southeast Wyoming and northern Colorado, USA. By limiting ecological variance, grasshopper species structure at two behavioral scales (grouped species dynamics...

Although the specific mechanisms of locust phase transformation are wellunderstood for model locust species such as the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria and the migratory locust Locusta migratoria, the expressions of density-dependent phase polyphenism in other nonmodel locust species are not wellknown. The present paper is an attempt to review and synthesize what we know about these nonmode...

Antiserum against horseradish peroxidase (anti-HRP Ab) labels the surfaces of neurons in both Drosophila and grasshopper (Jan and Jan, 1982). Here we show that the anti-HRP Ab (1) immunoprecipitates at least 17 different membrane glycoproteins from the Drosophila embryo CNS (and a similar array from grasshopper), and (2) recognizes a neural-specific carbohydrate moiety expressed by most if not ...

As high performance design is becoming more desirable in the field of architecture, the need for supporting architects with environmental analysis tools is also growing. Rhino/Grasshopper is one of the most widely used platforms that are used by designers today. There are already a number of environmental plugins developed for Rhino/Grasshopper. However, Ladybug offers several advantages that a...

Host-plant preferences were assessed by Þeldmeasurement of grasshopper abundance in relation to measurements of ßoral community and by laboratory host-plant preferences. Correlations between grasshoppers and plants (biomass and percentage cover) were based on data gathered at 29 study sites in Þve distinct Florida habitats (including disturbed, freshwater marsh, high pine, oak hammock, and swam...

We have identified the neurons that pioneer the major CNS axon tracts in the Drosophila embryo and determined their trajectory and fasciculation choices using serial section electron microscopy. Although Drosophila pioneer neurons make choices similar to those of their grasshopper homologs, there are interesting differences that reflect the much smaller nervous system size and the much faster r...

The susceptibility of all nymphal and adult stages of the Acridid grasshopper H. littoralis to different inoculum levels of the insect pathogenic nematodes of the family Heterorahabitidae was recorded. The two tested nematode species were local isolates belong to Heterorhabditis indica (Poinar, Karunakar & David, 1992) (isolate EGB4) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar, 1979) (isolate EKB...

Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous deadly diseases for individuals worldwide. Thus, survival rate low due to difficulty in detecting lung at advanced stages like symptoms; thus, prominence early diagnosis important. The detection and treatment having great importance diagnosis. existing Convolution Neural Network (CNN) based deep learning methods showed tuning was problem choosing a set h...
