Estimating the Number of Eggs per Egg Mass of the Forest Tent Caterpillar, Malacosoma Disstria (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) [PDF]
Calculation of the number of eggs per egg mass of the forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria Hiibner, is required in survey and population studies. Eggs are usually laid in cylindrical masses around twigs of trees.

Predation Pressure on Sentinel Insect Prey along a Riverside Urbanization Gradient in Hungary
Urbanization is one of the most important global trends which causes habitat reduction and alteration which are, in turn, the main reasons for the well-documented reduction in structural and functional diversity in urbanized environments.

Impact of Future Elevated Carbon Dioxide on C3 Plant Resistance to Biotic Stresses
Before the end of the century, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are predicted to increase to approximately 900 ppm. This will dramatically affect plant physiology and influence environmental interactions and, in particular, plant resistance to biotic ...

Lower bounds on the number of realizations of rigid graphs [PDF]
Computing the number of realizations of a minimally rigid graph is a notoriously difficult problem. Towards this goal, for graphs that are minimally rigid in the plane, we take advantage of a recently published algorithm, which is the fastest available ...
