Incomplete Bivariate Fibonacci and Lucas 𝑝-Polynomials
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2012 We define the incomplete bivariate Fibonacci and Lucas 𝑝-polynomials. In the case 𝑥=1, 𝑦=1, we obtain the incomplete Fibonacci and Lucas 𝑝-numbers. If 𝑥=2, 𝑦=1, we have the incomplete Pell and Pell-Lucas 𝑝-numbers.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The level of aggressiveness of an individual is a factor that shapes intraguild predation (IGP) interactions. In Nabis americoferus, high aggressiveness leads to an increase in attack rate and IGP against Harmonia axyridis. Moreover, the absence of extraguild prey seems to exacerbate IGP. In docile N.
