THE USE OF THE ECOLOGICAL CALENDAR IN THE PROCESS OF ACQUAINTANCE OF OVER-FIVE PRESCHOOL CHILDREN WITH SEASONAL CHANGES IN NATURE

open access: yesВестник Мининского университета, 2018
Introduction: The article examines the important problem of the formation of pre-schoolers' views on the change of seasons, patterns and features of seasonal changes in nature. The approaches to solving this problem existing in science are stated briefly,

Morphometric differences in the grasshopper Cornops aquaticum (Bruner, 1906) from South America and South Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The semi-aquatic grasshopper Cornops aquaticum is native to South America and inhabits lowlands from southern Mexico to Central Argentina and Uruguay. It is host-specific to aquatic plants in the genera Eichhornia and Pontederia.

Representation of acoustic communication signals by insect auditory receptor neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Despite their simple auditory systems, some insect species recognize certain temporal aspects of acoustic stimuli with an acuity equal to that of vertebrates; however, the underlying neural mechanisms and coding schemes are only partially understood.

Local Thermal Extremes Shape the Nature of Herbivore Plasticity That Controls Plant Communities. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Lett
We discovered a spatial mosaic of two unique integrations of grasshopper plasticity (behavioural, physiological) that corresponded to mean diel maximum temperatures. Cool and Warm site grasshoppers both altered their canopy height and metabolism in response to experimental warming, but in opposite ways depending on spider predation risk.
