Revision of Wyeomyia (Hystatomyia) Dyar & Knab (Diptera: Culicidae: Sabethini

Creator:: Adkins, Jessica Y.
Abstract:: Members of the tribe Sabethini (Diptera: Culicidae) oviposit and develop in phytotelmata (plant-held waters) and are primarily distributed in a pantropical pattern. Recent cladistic studies have demonstrated that while the tribe is monophyletic, three of its 13 genera are not. The genus Wyeomyia is particularly problematic and debate among culicidologists...

Kinematic characteristics and energy expenditure during manual wheelchair propulsion: a comparison of two stroking techniques in non-experienced users

Creator:: Asahara, Sanae
Abstract:: Manual wheelchair propulsion is a physiologically stressful and biomechanically inefficient form of locomotion. The repetitious nature of propulsion puts wheelchair uses at high risk for developing upper extremity overuse injuries. Previous kinematic analysis has revealed that wheelchair users employ several distinct stroking techniques. One of the techniques, circular pattern (CP),...

Abstract:: The phantom midges (Diptera: Chaoboridae) are a relatively small fly family composed of 50 extant species in six genera. Larvae are of interest to limnologists and ecologists because of their tolerance to toxicants, predatory avoidance strategies, and the role chaoborids play in zooplankton community dynamics. Relative to mosquitoes, systematists have...

Geochemical proxies of North American freshwater routing during the Younger Dryas cold event

Creator:: Carlson, Anders E., Clark, Peter U., Haley, Brian A., Klinkhammer, Gary P., Simmons, Kathleen, Brook, Edward J., and Meissner, Katrin J.
Abstract:: The Younger Dryas cold interval represents a time when much of the Northern Hemisphere cooled from ≈12.9 to 11.5 kiloyears B.P. The cause of this event, which has long been viewed as the canonical example of abrupt climate change, was initially attributed to the routing of freshwater to the St....
