The objectives of this study include an attempt to determine what broad fields of education are most essential to the welfare of Orissa in the light of her intense current problems. It must suggest definite goals and areas for study by the adults of the province. Some development of the...
The leaf- cutter bee Megachile rotundata (Fabricius) is an important
alfalfa pollinator in western North America.
This study was designed to provide information on methods of
orientation used by M. rotundata in order to make recommendations
regarding the parameters within which adult nesting populations may
be relocated.
Preliminary studies suggest...
The study provides the details of the ethology of Megachile rotundata
(Fabricius), and presents preliminary observations on its
foraging and nesting behavior. Development from prepupae to adults
proceeds most rapidly at 32 degrees C., and is retarded when held
at lower and higher temperatures.
Male behavior is distinct from that...
Lymphoma (LSA) is one of the most common canine malignancies, and is almost invariably a terminal disease. Epigenetic changes in canine and human lymphomas have been linked to disease progression and poor prognosis, leading to the development of epigenetic-targeted therapies which have shown promise in treating various forms of human...
The major historical studies that have examined American
biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at
the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application
of...
Harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) were observed during
the summers of 1979 and 1980 in Sawmill Bay, northeast Prince William
Sound, Alaska. Harlequins were associated with a short, medium gradient,
non-glacial stream (Stellar Creek) also used by salmon. Although
harlequins nested along Stellar Creek, they apparently did not establish
home ranges...
