Thermal adaptation along a latitudinal gradient in damselflies
Understanding how temperature affects biological systems is a central question in ecology and evolutionary biology. Anthropogenic climate change adds urgency to this topic, as the demise or success of species under climate change is expected to depend on how temperature affects important aspects of organismal performance, such as growth, development, survival and reproduction. Rates of biologic...
متن کاملBiochemical changes associated with flower development in mini potted carnation
The present investigation was undertaken to determine the biochemical changes associated with flower development during the flowering season in the potted carnation cultivars of ‘Lilac on purple’ and ‘Pink’. Ethylene production and the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content of the flowers were observed to increase up to stage 5 (during the five stage of flow...
متن کاملLife-history evolution when Lestes damselflies invaded vernal ponds.
We know little about the macroevolution of life-history traits along environmental gradients, especially with regard to the directionality compared to the ancestral states and the associated costs to other functions. Here we examine how age and size at maturity evolved when Lestes damselflies shifted from their ancestral temporary pond habitat (i.e., ponds that may dry once every decade or so) ...
متن کاملECG alterations and changes in biochemical parameters associated with experimental salinomycin toxicosis in sheep
Salinomycin is a monocarboxylic polyether ionophore with antimicrobial properties. It is a dietaryadditive used as a growth promoter for ruminants and as a coccidiostat in chickens. The mechanism of actionof ionophores at the cellular level is to selectively bind certain ions creating intra and extracellularbiochemical disturbances. Clinical signs of ionophore intoxication are non specific and ...
متن کاملDifferential Evolution with Self-Adaptation
Many practical engineering applications can be formulated as a global optimization problem, in which objective function has many local minima, and derivatives of the objective function are unavailable. Differential Evolution (DE) is a floating-point encoding evolutionary algorithm for global optimization over continuous spaces (Storn & Price, 1997) (Liu & Lampinen, 2005) (Price, Storn & Lampine...
