Hippodamia convergens Guerin-Meneville was selected for
rapid development through five generations at four constant
temperatures (18, 22, 26, and 30°C). Two levels of selection
were used: intense and moderate. Differences in developmental
rate, survivorship, live adult weight, aphid consumption,
adult longevity, and fecundity were measured for both groups
and an...
Compost maturity is an important determinant of end use for composted municipal yard debris, and generally refers to the effect the compost has on plants. The rate of microbial respiration is an indicator of compost stability. The objectives of this research were to: i) determine whether continuous aeration resulted in...
It is well documented that microplastics and semi-synthetic particles (<5 mm) pervade the marine environment, with their ingestion by marine fauna eliciting global concern.

Electrophoretic studies of soluble proteins either before or after gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 columns indicated that the soluble proteins were...
