Sunflower Resistance to the Red Sunflower Seed Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Erdős-Szemerédi Sunflower conjecture

I will give two proofs of the Erdős-Szemerédi Sunflower conjecture: a proof that uses the cap-set problem from Alon et al. [1] and a proof from Naslund and Sawin [5] that uses the slice-rank method. I will also show how Naslund and Sawin [5] apply the same ideas in an attempt towards the (stronger, unproved) Erdős-Rado Sunflower conjecture. A brief note on the connection to algorithms for fast ...

Granivorous Birds in Sunflower Crops

Bird communities visiting and causing damage to sunflower crops were studied in Western Switzerland. The greenfinch is the main pest species. A population study of that species was carried out in Changins, near Nyon, and crop protection techniques, including an ultrasonic device, were tested. INTRODUCTION Sunflower crops occur rarely in Switzerland mainly due to climatic conditions. Over the pa...

Diversity and Abundance of Insects in Wukari, Taraba State, Nigeria

A field survey was conducted in Wukari, Taraba State to assess the diversity and abundance of insect species in selected habitats (residential, open field made up of grassland and an agroecosystem). Sampling were done biweekly using light, pitfall and yellow pan traps set in 3 replicates, 30 m apart. Insects recovered were wet preserved in 70% ethanol except butterflies and moths. Representativ...
