Determination and Consideration of Flight Potential in a Laboratory Population of True Armyworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) [PDF]

Environmental Entomology, 2002
Flight potential, a poorly understood phenomenon in the migratory true armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta (Haworth), was investigated in a laboratory population using tethered-flight techniques. True armyworm exhibited strong flight potential relative to other known migratory noctuids whose flight potentials were previously determined by similar ...

Comparison of Reproductive and Flight Capacity of Loxostege sticticalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Developing From Diapause and Non-Diapause Larvae [PDF]

, 2012
The beet webworm, Loxostege sticticalis (L.) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), uses both diapause and migration as life history strategies. To determine the role of diapause plays in the population dynamics of L.

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Discrimination, labour markets and the Labour Market Prospects of Older Workers: What Can a Legal Case Teach us? [PDF]

, 2007
As governments become increasingly concerned about the fiscal implications of the ageing population, labour market policies have sought to encourage mature workers to remain in the labour force.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Improved Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm for UAV Path Planning

Algorithms
In view of the complex flight scenarios existing in UAV path planning, it is necessary to model the UAV flight trajectory. When constructing the model, cost factors such as the minimum flight path of the UAV, obstacle avoidance, flight altitude, and ...

First Record of the Red-Footed Falcon’s Nocturnal Flight Activity during the Nestling Period Using GPS Data

Ecologies, 2022
The red-footed falcon (Falco vespertinus) is a species that is of great interest to conservation. Because of this, understanding the red-footed falcon’s flight behavior is important for the conservation of this species. In this context, by using accurate

Aspects of the biology and ecology of Acyrthosiphon kondoi shinji (Homoptera: Aphididae): a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology at Massey University [PDF]

, 1977
The biology and ecology of the blue-green lucerne aphid, Acyrthosiphon kondoi Shinji, was studied in the Palmerston North area for one year. Observations on the morphology of the developmental stages and morphs of A. kondoi are presented.

Screening for lung cancer: A systematic review of overdiagnosis and its implications

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Low‐dose computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer may increase overdiagnosis compared to no screening, though the risk is likely low versus chest X‐ray. Our review of 8 trials (84 660 participants) shows added costs. Further research with strict adherence to modern nodule management strategies may help determine the extent to which ...
