Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta‐analysis in insects

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 394-411, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Effects of Unilateral Compound-Eye Removal on the Photoperiodic Responses of Nymphal Development in the Cricket Modicogryllus siamensis [PDF]

, 2007
The cricket, Modicogryllus siamensis, shows clear photoperiodic responses at 25 degrees C in nymphal development. Under long-day conditions (LD16:8), nymphs became adults about 50 days after hatching, while under short-day conditions (LD8:16) the ...

Comparative Morphology, Photoperiodism, and Yield of KDML105 Rice (Oryza sativa) and Its Mutants [PDF]

, 2023
Climate change and decreasing in farmlands threaten global rice production. The productivity and grain quality of KDML105 (Oryza sativa ‘KDML105’), one of Thailand’s famous scented rice is depending on photoperiod and cultivating conditions.

N-acetyltransferase (nat) Is a Critical Conjunct of Photoperiodism between the Circadian System and Endocrine Axis in Antheraea pernyi

PLoS ONE, 2014
Since its discovery in 1923, the biology of photoperiodism remains a mystery in many ways. We sought the link connecting the circadian system to an endocrine switch, using Antheraea pernyi.

Evolution in reproductive tempo and investment across the Peromyscus radiation

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 339, Issue 1, Page 13-27, January 1, 2023., 2023
In this review, we summarize diversity among Peromyscus species and populations in a number of reproductive traits. including litter size. We examine associations with environmental variation (map, right). We also use a large dataset compiled from lab‐held colonies (violin ploots, right) of Peromyscus to test for species‐ and population‐level ...

Cowpea leaf width correlates with above ground biomass across diverse environments

Legume Science, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) yields within the dry savannahs of Sub‐Saharan Africa are low. Given the contribution of cowpea to food security in this region, it is essential that high‐yielding varieties are developed to improve crop productivity in a sustainable manner.

From minute to day: Ecophysiological response of phytoplankton to fluctuating light exposure during vertical mixing

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2809-2820, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Underwater light is a highly dynamic resource for phytoplankton. Fluctuating light influences photosynthesis, respiration, biosynthesis, and growth at different timescales, but the interplay of these processes is not well‐understood. Subsamples of a phytoplankton community from the turbid, well‐mixed lake TaiHu (China) were either vertically ...

Workshop and desk study to appraise technical difficulties associated with organic pullet rearing [PDF]

, 2001
Background To date, Regulation (EC) 1804/1999 and UKROFS Standards allow conventionally reared pullets up to 18 weeks of age to be brought into systems of organic egg production. Pullets must be reared according to the rules laid down in Regulation (EC)
