“It feels like I’m taking a whole scientific team with me, virtually, on every walk,” said Lee. “Two weeks ago, I uploaded a picture of a beetle and got a message from a researcher who’d been looking for this beetle for 12 years and had yet ...
Although their mortality by natural enemies accounts for a large proportion, behavioral and morphological adaptations against those enemies have been predicted in various of their life stages3,4,5. External body elements, such as caterpillar hairs and sclerotized beetle elytra, are some of the many...
12 is designed according to the shape and structure of the shell and the back of the beetle. The purpose is to increase the force area and improve the pressure resistance. The outward round tube uses a hollow tube and the inner wall reinforcement plate is designed based on bamboo. Most of...
And such transmission can be interspecific—any bee, fly, butterfly, beetle, or wasp can carry floral or pathogenic microbes from one flower to another. The total amount of microbial interchange within the entire flower/pollinator environment is mind boggling to consider, and makes for a highly ...
Effect upon Small Hive BeetleA number of beekeepers report that thermal treatment kills Small Hive Beetles (SHB). SHB prefers cooler parts of the hive, and has reduced longevity at broodnest temperature [[9]]. I haven’t been able to find any studies testing the effect of short-term ...
The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network(NEON)and from 11 previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gap s in forest ...
Aratus called it Καρκινος (Karkinos), which Hipparchus and Ptolemy followed, the Carcinus of the Alfonsine tables being Latinized form of the Greek word. Eratosthenes extended this as Καρκινος, Ονοι, καιΦατνη: the Crab, Asses, and Crib. Litoreus, Shore...
word related to restoration (restor*), to tropics (tropic*) and to mountain environments (mountain OR montane OR altitude OR alpine OR andes) (detailed search string specification in Supplementary Table1), but no word related to specific TME because the nomenclature across TME is not standardized...
Word cloud depiction of domains prevalence during the phyllosoma to puerulus transition. Font size represents number of domains which occur in each of the five sub-stages of the transition which served for constructing the transcriptome, including intermolt phyllosoma (top), early and late gut ret...
They are free of Varroa (but not of small hive beetle). When almonds need bees in the middle of the California winter, it is the equivalent of early August in Australia. Australian beekeepers can shake packages and air ship them to San Francisco for about $115 per 4 lb pack...
