Laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of prey
availability on prey consumption, survivorship and oviposition of the
southern pine beetle predator, Thanasimus dubius Fabricius. Although
prey consumption rates were significantly affected by the sex, size and
ovipositional status of the predator, it was found through correlation
analyses that...
Geometric Problems become increasingly intractable and difficult to visualize as the number of dimensions increases beyond three. Inductions from lower dimensional spaces are possible yet often awkward. This thesis shows how elementary linear algebra, vector calculus, and combinatorics offer improved methods for calculating the dihedral angles of n-simplicies and proving...
Three species of bacteriophagous nematodes, Pristionchus
lheritieri (Maupas) Paramanov, Pelodera chitwoodi (Bassen)
Dougherty and Rhabditis sp. were studied to determine their potential
roles as vectors of selected insect pathogens, Bacillus thuringiensis
Berliner, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, Metarrhizium
anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin and a nuclear polyhedrosis
virus of Trichoplusia ni Hubner.
