PLANT ACCEPTANCE FOR OVIPOSITION OF TETRANYCHUS URTICAE ON STRAWBERRY LEAVES IS INFLUENCED BY AROMATIC PLANTS IN LABORATORY AND GREENHOUSE INTERCROPPING EXPERIMENTS

The objective was to evaluate aromatic plants’ effects on the acceptance, preference, egg load, and life span of females of the twospotted spider mite (TSSM) in laboratory experiments and TSSM population under aromatic plants’ intercropping in greenhouse experiments.The pseudofruits production was also evaluated.For the laboratory, basi

Abstract An equivalent analytical model of sloshing in a two-dimensional (2-D) rigid rectangular container equipped with multiple vertical baffles is presented.Firstly, according to the subdomain partition approach, the total liquid domain is partitioned into subdomains with the pure interface and boundary conditions.The separation of variables is

Global paleo-climate reconstructions are largely based on observations from the Northern Hemisphere despite increasing recognition of the importance of the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes for understanding the drivers of the global climate system.Unfortunately, the required complete and high-resolution terrestrial records from the Southern Hemisp

We utilize a standard competition-colonization metapopulation model in order to study the evolutionary assembly of species.Based on earlier work showing how models assuming strict competitive hierarchies will likely lead to runaway evolution and self-extinction for all species, we adopt a continuous competition function that allows for levels of un
