Behavioral Resistance in Varroa destructor: First Evidence in Response to Acaricide?
Varroa mites exhibited population‐dependent behavioral responses: two populationw avoided tau‐fluvalinate, and none showed specific behavioral responses to amitraz and oxalic acid, despite contrasting phenotypical resistance profiles. ABSTRACT The ectoparasite Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) poses a major threat to honey bee colonies due to

Life‐history theory predicts a trade‐off between allocation of resources to reproduction or self‐maintenance, yet how environmental variability shapes this trade‐off remains poorly understood. We show that black‐browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris) breeding in more variable environments display slower life histories (slow, late‐onset ...

Solar drying of pine lumber: Verification of a mathematical model
This work presents verification of a mathematical model for drying of a wood stack in a greenhouse type solar dryer. A simplified heat and mass transfer numerical model has been developed with input parameters based on the actual metrological data of a ...

ABSTRACT Past population dynamics during the Pleistocene ice age and the Holocene era have profoundly influenced the genetic structure and diversity of species. Environmental heterogeneity has further shaped local and regional adaptive variation. Here, we ask how historical processes have led to the current genetic diversity of a key North American ...

Etude de la qualité du bois d'épicéa conservé sous bâches hermétiques [PDF]
Le stockage de bois dans des silos hermétiques à l’air est un procédé de conservation original développé en Allemagne au lendemain des tempêtes de 1999. Une expérimentation en conditions réelles sur des grumes d’épicéa a été menée de 2008 à 2013 à Eupen (

Solar radiation modeling and simulation of hyperspectral satellite data
In this research, we are interested in applying the model to simulate the radiative transfer through the atmosphere under realistic conditions for assessing the significance of the effects of the atmosphere and conditions on shooting satellite images ...

The carbon emission reductions from using residual forest biomass for bioenergy remain controversial, despite its potential to mitigate climate change. This study evaluated how intensifying wood procurement for bioenergy, alongside supplying fiber for conventional wood industries, can support low‐carbon forest management.

La forêt dense de Côte d'Ivoire tend à diminuer en qualité et en quantité. Les mesures prises par les instances nationales pour tenter d'enrayer cette dégradation du capital forestier s’articulent selon trois axes principaux : la protection du domaine forestier existant, le reboisement et la valorisation des produits ligneux.Le programme de recherche ...

ABSTRACT A crucial part of the phenological cycle in temperate and boreal trees is the exposure to chilling temperatures releasing endodormancy, which allows the trees to react to external signals and resume growth in spring. We compared the effect of artificial and natural chilling on endodormancy break and frost hardiness of sugar maple (Acer ...
