the workers and reigning queens typically perish, leaving only the newly fertilized queens to survive the winter and start the cycle anew in the spring.
For a long time, the life cycle ofM. alternatushas been accepted under the assumption that the larvae pass four instars in the field4,5,6,7,8. Overwintered, the third and fourth instars can emerge as adults in the current year without entering diapause6. But the first and second instar...
For thirty years we have driven through Western Canada on the Alaskan Highway and British Columbian roads running through the Coastal Range to Prince Rupert and a number of small towns. We have seen millions of acres of brown trees killed by the pine beetles that survive winters now. I was ...
As we cycle along the walls and in and out of the grand city gates, the cobbled streets are lively against the backdrop of lush palms, bougainvillea, busy parks and tucked away cafes. As the religious and educational center of the Spanish East Indies, Intramuros boasted the oldest university...

Evidence of extreme habitat stability in a Southeast Asian biodiversity hotspot based on the evolutionary analysis of neotenic net﹚inged beetles The diversification of neotenic beetle lineages has not been studied, despite the potential for defining biodiversity hotspots and elucidating the history ... ...
Jiang thinks the long life cycle of the Chinese sturgeon is one of the problems with conservation because it takes more than 12 years for the fish to become mature enough to breed in the upper reaches of the river. It’s impossible for the species to rebuild its population as quickly as ...
To develop a better understanding of interactions between beetles, fungi, and host trees, we used target-specific DNA primers with qPCR to assess the changes in fungal associate abundance over the stages of the MPB life cycle that occur in galleries under the bark of pine trees. Multivariate ...
The development rate of postembryonic in insects depends on external conditions, such as food availability, diet, and temperature [31], with temperature changes affecting the rate of growth and development, duration of the life cycle, and survival rate [32]. The current results showed that the ...
Ozaena ground beetles likely have anatomical adaptations enabling them to parasitize ant nests throughout their life cycle, according to a study published January 16, 2019 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Wendy Moore from the University of Arizona,
