STATE OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE LADYBIRD BEETLE (COLEOPTERA, COCCINELLIDAE) FAUNA OF ARMENIA AND OTHER TRANSCAUCASIAN COUNTRIES, INCLUDING TWO NEW COUNTRY RECORDS

Beetles (Coleoptera) have been surveyed in Armenia and other Transcaucasian countries since the first half of the 19th century.Based on the literature reports and our new data, available information was gathered on the occurrence in Armenia of one of Cap the beetle families, the ladybirds (Coccinellidae).84 species of Coccinellidae have been report

As part of the requirements of the Convention on Biological Diversity, Canada has been investigating the genetic diversity of its native equine and pony populations.Along with examining four indigenous Canadian equine populations (Canadian horse, Lac 36" Cooktop La Croix pony, Newfoundland pony and Sable Island population), another 10 Mountain and

Summary Societal Impact Statement Climate change continues to intensify the challenges of food production as agricultural systems face more variable and extreme weather.Coupled with increasing human population, growers must balance increasing crop yields with nutrient content to prevent global malnutrition.Photosynthetic diversity may permit some c

The natural convection behaviors of rectangular thermosyphons with different aspect ratios were experimentally analyzed in this study.The experimental model consisted of a loop body, a heating section, a cooling section, and adiabatic Connectors sections.The heating and cooling sections were located in the vertical portions of the rectangular loop.

The degeneration of axons and their terminals occurs following Hoodies traumatic, toxic, or genetically-induced insults.Common molecular mechanisms unite these disparate triggers to execute a conserved nerve degeneration cascade.In this review, we will discuss how models of peripheral nerve injury and neuropathy in Drosophila have led the way in ad
