To check for possible impacts of trap-specific trait compositions on the butterfly biomass of the Malaise traps, we calculated butterfly biomasses from species abundances and species body masses and compared them between trap types. Also, the noctuid moth biomasses were compared between the trap ...
We suggest that the reticular honeycomb structures do not separate particles by acting as traps (neither for small nor for large particles), but that the structures reduce the lumen of the reticulum during contractions at varying degrees of completeness in the different feeding types. In browsing ...
The deregulated apoptotic demise of neutrophils fuels inflammation, directing these cells towards secondary necrosis or the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), each driving inflammatory cascades. Hematopoietic disorders are linked to the impact of NET-induced hematopoietic precursor proliferation...
-Not for people who get hot at night; this foam traps and holds body heat. 3. Goose down pillow Don’t take the word “goose” literally when you shop for a down pillow because these days, any number of birds “donate” their down to the pillow industry. Goose down is associated wit...
The results of the present study illustrate different efficacy levels of the trap and attractant types tested on adults and larvae of T. granarium and T. variabile. Overall, our data indicate that both Dome and Box traps showed poor recaptures for monitoring of T. granarium, for both life sta...
For each carcass, four pitfall traps (10 cm in diameter) were used. The four traps were placed around each rabbit carcass. On each sampling day, each trap was filled up with a solution of water, soap and salts. Only adults were included in the counting of collected insects during this ...
Each site contained a trapping grid of regularly spaced traps (at approximately 5 m intervals) and was also used for other components of a larger field study (for more details see10). Ethics statement All animal procedures carried out as part of this larger field study were performed with ...
Although gut microbiota variation is thought to have important effects on animal fitness, our understanding of how different processes come together to shape microbiotas in natural populations remains limited. As with any ecological community, fundamental ecological processes will govern community assembly ...
As fallow land is increasingly exhausted, however, the substitution to non-land inputs accelerates, including substitutions of labor effort, fertilizers (initially organic, and then chemical), pesticides/herbicides, traction (animal, and then machine), land structures (e.g. terraces), increased use...
Thirty healthy adult bats with different diets were randomly collected using harp traps and mist nets from eight localities throughout Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo (Fig.1). The sampling was conducted in 2022 and 2023, primarily during the dry season to maximise the number of sampling nights. Each ...
