The parasitic mite Varroa destructor is an important contributor to the high losses of western honeybees.Forager bees from Varroa-infested colonies show reduced homing and flight capacity; it is not known whether flight manoeuvrability and related learning capability are also affected.Here, we test how honeybees from Varroa-infested and control col
IntroductionFortification of cereal products with natural plant extract is an interesting approach to fulfill the dietary requirement of the people.Materials and methodsPeels of pomegranate (rich source of natural compounds) were cut into small pieces and dried in three different methods such as solar drying Inline - Protective - Pants (SOD), oven
Management of invasive alien species is a high priority for biodiversity conservation.Here, we studied the effects of glyphosate application, at 0.06 g/m2 concentration, on physiologically integrated basal and apical ramets of the invasive clonal plant Carpobrotus edulis.Physiological integration allows the transport of resources and other substanc
In this study, detection and three-dimensional (3D) imaging of lightning plasma channels are presented using radar interferometry.Experiments were carried out in Leshan, China with a 48.2 MHz VHF radar configured with an interferometric antenna array.The typical characteristics of lightning echoes are studied in the form of amplitude, phase, and do
Portions of this paper were recently presented at the Cross Timbers Symposium at the Botany Inline - Protective - Pants 2005 Symposium in Austin, Texas.I have come to realize the importance of this data as a baseline for the composition of forests in the Gulf Coastal Plain.Since the data were collected about 40 years ago, many changes have occurred
