Differences in the reliance on cuticular hydrocarbons as sexual signaling and species discrimination cues in parasitoid wasps

Abstract Background Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHC) have been documented to play crucial roles as species- and sex-specific cues in the chemical communication systems of a wide variety of insects.However, whether they Pants are sufficient by themselves as the sole cue triggering sexual behavior as well as preference of con- over heterospecific mating

A volcanic-hazard demonstration exercise to assess and mitigate the impacts of volcanic ash clouds on civil and military aviation

Volcanic eruptions comprise an important airborne hazard for aviation.Although significant events are rare, e.g.compared to the threat of thunderstorms, they have a very high impact.The current state of tools and abilities to mitigate aviation hazards associated with an LED G8.5 assumed volcanic cloud was tested within an international demonstratio

DICKINSARTELLA FAUNA FROM THE SAIWAN FORMATION (OMAN): A BIVALVE FAUNA TESTIFYING TO THE LATE SAKMARIAN (EARLY PERMIAN) CLIMATIC AMELIORATION ALONG THE NORTH-EASTERN GONDWANAN FRINGE.

The transitional faunas of the Permian Huqf succession Shaving Foam of Oman make it one of the key-sections for the intercalibration of Early to Middle Permian biostratigraphical scales.The abundance of fossils improved the knowledge of some marine faunas which populated the North-Eastern Gondwanan fringe during times of climatic changes in the Per
