Genetic diversity of seven-spotted ladybug populations in Iran using cytochrome oxidase gene analysis [PDF]
پژوهش های کاربردی در گیاهپزشکیLady beetles, particularly the seven-spotted lady beetle, play an essential role as biological control agents against aphids and other pests in agricultural ecosystems. Studying their molecular biology can provide insights into their adaptation, behavior,

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analyzes farmers' preferences for sustainable crop protection, focusing on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices by incorporating social‐psychological factors to capture economic and behavioral dimensions. Using data from German and Polish potato farmers, we apply an integrated choice and latent variable framework that combines

Growth and Development in Lady Beetles [PDF]
, 2018 Living in a group can potentially put stress on an animal. This is particularly true for species like Hippodamia convergens, the convergent lady beetle, the larvae of which will cannibalize each other when food sources are limited.

A ladybug exploration strategy for distributed adaptive coverage control [PDF]
2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2008 A control strategy inspired by the hunting tactics of ladybugs is presented to simultaneously achieve sensor coverage and exploration of an area with a group of networked robots. The controller is distributed in that it requires only information local to each robot, and adaptive in that it modifies its behavior based on information in the environment ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Sympatric bat species can co‐exist and avoid interspecific competition via niche differentiation e.g. diet. Detecting dietary differences can be achieved by comparing dietary niches of sympatric and allopatric populations. If dietary overlap is higher in sympatry versus allopatry, co‐occurrence may be altering the dietary niche of the species.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Different species that exploit the same resources can sometimes co‐exist in the same habitat through resource sharing. For example, if resources are superabundant, then they can be easily partitioned interspecifically among different individuals. However, when resources

‘From the Fields Into the Bars’: The Story of Israel's First Transgender Novel, The Cut (1977)
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In 1977, an Israeli transgender woman, Judy Spotheim, published an autobiographical novel entitled The Cut. It describes the emergence of a trans community in the commercial‐sex areas of Tel Aviv‐Jaffa, hoping to humanise trans women (coccinelles). This article is the first to study the novel and present a biography of Spotheim.

2D NMR-spectroscopic screening reveals polyketides in ladybugs [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Small molecules of biological origin continue to yield the most promising leads for drug design, but systematic approaches for exploring nature’s cache of structural diversity are lacking. Here, we demonstrate the use of 2D NMR spectroscopy to screen a library of biorationally selected insect metabolite samples for partial structures ...
