Non-Destructive Sampling of Ancient Insect DNA
BACKGROUND A major challenge for ancient DNA (aDNA) studies on insect remains is that sampling procedures involve at least partial destruction of the specimens. A recent extraction protocol reveals the possibility of obtaining DNA from past insect remains without causing visual morphological damage. We test the applicability of this protocol on historic museum beetle specimens dating back to AD...
متن کاملAn Aquatic Insect Imaging System to Automate Insect Classification
Population counts of aquatic insects are a valuable tool for monitoring the water quality of rivers and streams. However, the handling of samples in the lab for species identification is time consuming and requires specially trained experts. An aquatic insect imaging system was designed as part of a system to automate aquatic insect classification and was tested using several species and size c...
متن کاملOrganic Farming Favours Insect-Pollinated over Non-Insect Pollinated Forbs in Meadows and Wheat Fields
The aim of this study was to determine the relative effects of landscape-scale management intensity, local management intensity and edge effect on diversity patterns of insect-pollinated vs. non-insect pollinated forbs in meadows and wheat fields. Nine landscapes were selected differing in percent intensively used agricultural area (IAA), each with a pair of organic and conventional winter whea...
متن کاملComputer modelling of insect-induced hot spots in stored wheat
Mani, S., Muir, W.E., Jayas, D.S. and White, N.D.G. 2001. Computer modelling of insect-induced hot spots in stored wheat. Canadian Biosystems Engineering/Le génie des biosystèmes au Canada 43:4.74.14. A computer model of insect-induced hot spots in stored wheat was developed by combining four submodels: (1) a three-dimensional, finite element model of heat transfer, (2) a population dynamics mo...
متن کاملAn insect-based approach to robotic homing
Many animals, including insects, successfully engage in visual homing. We describe a system that allows a mobile robot to home. Specifically, we propose a simple extension to our original homing scheme which significantly improves its performance by incorporating a richer view of the environment. The addition of landmark apparent-size cues assists homing by providing a more robust homing vector...
