The myrmecophilous Paederinae rove beetle genus Megastilicus Casey, 1889 from North America is reviewed based on museum specimens.Prior to this study, the genus was monotypic with one species Megastilicus formicarius Casey, 1889 described.Here, we provide a redescription of the genus and the type Feminine Deodorant Products species, designate a lec
The ladybird beetle Harmonia axyridis Pallas was investigated under laboratory conditions to clarify the relationship between food Tax abundance or scarcity and ovarian development or oosorption.Four conditions were used: (1) fully fed for 24 h, (2) 24-h starvation, (3) 48-h starvation, and (4) 24-h starvation followed by 24-h re-feeding.Body lengt
Intramuscular injections can provoke muscular paralysis especially, if the child has had exposure to polio virus.The purpose of the study was to determine the association with known risk factors for motor disabilities in two remote villages of North Karnataka (India), where an increased number of disabled people among select Tax communities had bee
Abstract The working mechanism of resonant sensors is based on tracking the frequency shift in the linear vibration range.Contrary to the conventional paradigm, in this paper, we show that by tracking the dramatic frequency shift of the saddle-node bifurcation on the nonlinear parametric isolated branches in response to external forces, we can dram
