WEATHER FACTORS AFFECTING THE MALE MATE-LOCATING TACTICS OF THE SMALL COPPER BUTTERFLY (LEPIDOPTERA: LYCAENIDAE)

Weather factors affecting the male mate-locating tactics of the small copper butterfly (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)

5 Piece King Canopy Bed Males of the small copper butterfly, Lycaena phlaeas daimio, exhibit two mate-locating tactics: patrolling and perching.Field investigations were conducted to determine the biotic and abiotic factors affecting the mate-locating behaviour of male L.phlaeas.Patrolling was often observed when light intensity was high.Perching w

Effects of Plant Age and Root Damage on Internalization of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli in Leafy Vegetables and Herbs

Our previous study reported that fresh produce grown in aquaponic and hydroponic systems can pose potential food safety hazards due to an accidental introduction of contaminated fish and cross-contamination between the systems.In this study, we examined the effects of plant species and age on the likelihood and level of internalization of Shiga tox

Population Synthesis Models for Normal Galaxies with Dusty Disks

To investigate the SEDs of galaxies considering the dust extinction processes in the galactic disks, we present the population synthesis models for normal galaxies with dusty disks.We use PEGASE (Fioc & Rocca-Volmerange 1997) to model them with standard input parameters for stars and new Tankini dust parameters.We find that the model results Baby B
