Abstract:
Dugongs (Dugong dugon) are seagrass specialists distributed in shallow coastal waters in tropical and subtropical seas. The area and distribution of the dugongs’ feeding trails, which are unvegetated winding tracks left after feeding, have been used as an indicator of their feeding ground utilization. However, current ground-based measurements of these trails require a large amount of time and effort. Here, we developed effective methods to observe the dugongs’ feeding trails using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images (1) by extracting the dugong feeding trails using deep neural networks. Furt

Abstract:
Chemical trails have been shown to act as an orientation cue in some ant species. Here, I report that the trail-laying behaviour in the nectar-feeding ant,Camponotus rufipes, varies with the concentration of the sucrose solutions collected. Single workers collected solutions of different sucrose concentrations (5%, 20%, and 40% in weight) during 4 consecutive visits to the resource, and their trail-marking behaviour was recorded on soot-coated slides during their first and last visits. Results suggest that these chemical trails provide both an orientation cue between the nest and the food sour

Abstract:
Copepods are major consumers of sinking marine particles and hence reduce the efficiency of the biological carbon pump. Their high abundance on marine snow suggests that they can detect sinking particles remotely. By means of laboratory observations, we show that the copepod Temora longicornis can detect chemical trails originating from sinking marine snow particles (appendicularian houses). The chemical cue was detected by copepods from a distance of .25 particle radii, with the probability of detection decreasing with distance. The behavior of T. longicornis following the trail resembled the

Experiments were conducted to determine whether the number of house mice in immature crops and stubble-pastures could be effectively reduced by poisoning with 0.3% strychnine-treated wheat, and whether pre-feeding would improve the level of control.

Abstract:
Stingless bees of the species Trigona spinipes (Fabricius 1793) use their saliva to lay scent trails communicating the location of profitable food sources. Extracts of the cephalic labial glands of the salivary system (not the mandibular glands, however) contain a large amount (approx. 74%) of octyl octanoate. This ester is also found on the scent-marked substrates at the feeding site. We demonstrate octyl octanoate to be a single compound pheromone which induces full trail following behaviour. The identification of the trail pheromone in this widely distributed bee makes it an ideal organism

On the basis of ethology and preservational conditions it has been interpreted that during the deposition of the Muth B Member, the benthonic community was dominated by molluscs and polychaetes. The organisms producing trace fossils are dominated by feeding or feeding-dwelling habitat.

Fussy eating, characterised by persistent refusal of familiar and/or novel food, is a risk factor for poor dietary variety, particularly fruits and vegetables which are protective against diet-related chronic diseases.

There are five sacrifices or offerings that a householder should perform daily to alleviate the karmic debt of daily living: feed the animals, give food away until there is none left, feed the ancestors, feed the gods and goddesses, and offer hospitality to unexpected guests.

Abstract:
The rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) is a primary pest of cereals, with growing importance. In the last few years, it represents a limiting factor in a post-harvest storage of small grains in Serbia. It has strong preference for wheat, but damages barley grains at certain extent as well. As differences in susceptibility of barley genotypes to the weevil attack have been recorded, it is of great interest to define seed traits responsible for tolerance, so as to be able to differentiate suitable and/or tolerant varieties. Genetic potential to resist storage pests is crucial to minimize quanti

Full text
Abstract:
Feed inputs represent the largest variable cost of producing meat and milk from ruminant animals. Thus, strategies that improve the efficiency of feed utilization are needed to improve the global competitiveness of Israeli and U.S. cattle industries, and mitigate their environmental impact through reductions in nutrient excretions and greenhouse gas emissions. Implementation of innovative technologies that will enhance genetic merit for feed efficiency is arguably one of the most cost-effective strategies to meet future demands for animal-protein foods in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Abstract:
Crude distillation unit (CDU) is the major energy consuming unit in refineries. Because of the high energy consumption of crude furnace in crude preheat train, heat integration by retrofitting heat exchanger network (HEN) is represented in this research by using a retrofit potential program and stage-model mathematical programming. A retrofit potential program from Kosol (2012) based on pinch technology was used to identify the optimum heat recovery approach temperature (HRAT). A stage model from Yee and Grossman (1990), is a mathematical programming using General Algebraic Modeling System (GA

Abstract:
Camera trapping is increasingly used to collect information on wildlife occurrence and behaviour remotely. This provides insights into habitat use by species of interest and gathers information on non-target species. We implemented ground-based camera trapping to investigate behaviours of ground-dwelling birds and to monitor activities of Agassiz’s desert tortoises at their self-constructed burrows in a wind-energy facility near Palm Springs, California. While doing so, we collected data on numerous burrow commensals, including birds. Monitoring from late spring to midautumn showed regular use

Abstract:
Pear-feeding psyllids in the genus Cacopsylla (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) are among the most important arthropod pests of pears worldwide. These pests are exceedingly difficult to control, and new management tools are needed. Sex attractantpheromones have been used in IPM programs for pests of pome fruits (especially Lepidoptera), but not as yet for pest Hemiptera. Results of the current project showed that males of two psyllid pests of pears, Cacopsylla bidens (Israel) and Cacopsylla pyricola (North America), use volatile or semi-volatile compounds to locate female psyllids for mating.

The general objective of this study was to develop rationally designed mimetic antagonists (and agonists) of the PK/PBAN Np class with enhanced bio-stability and bioavailability as prototypes for effective and environmentally friendly pest insect management agents. The PK/PBAN family is a multifunctional group of Nps that mediates key functions in insects (sex pheromone biosynthesis, cuticular melanization, myotropic activity, diapause and pupal development) and is, therefore, of high scientific and applied interest.
