Pigmentation pattern formation in butterflies: experiments and models.
Butterfly pigmentation patterns are one of the most spectacular and vivid examples of pattern formation in biology. They have attracted much attention from experimentalists and theoreticians, who have tried to understand the underlying genetic, chemical and physical processes that lead to patterning. In this paper, we present a brief review of this field by first considering the generation of t...
متن کاملTranslocation experiments with butterflies reveal limits to enhancement of poleward populations under climate change.
There is a pressing need to predict how species will change their geographic ranges under climate change. Projections typically assume that temperature is a primary fitness determinant and that populations near the poleward (and upward) range boundary are preadapted to warming. Thus, poleward, peripheral populations will increase with warming, and these increases facilitate poleward range expan...
متن کاملFrictional experiments of dolerite at intermediate slip rates with controlled temperature: Rate weakening or temperature weakening?
[1] A rotary shear apparatus has been newly set up in Chiba University which can control the temperature near a sliding surface, Tmeas, up to 1000°C independently from slip rate, V. Frictional experiments at 0.010 m/s, 1 MPa normal stress, and variable Tmeas for dolerite have revealed a remarkable effect of temperature on the friction coefficient, f. With increasing Tmeas, f starts from 0.7 to ...
متن کاملAnomalous dust temperature in dusty plasma experiments
Article history: Received 23 May 2011 Accepted 6 June 2011 Available online 14 June 2011 Communicated by V.M. Agranovich Dust heating in dusty plasmas due to thermal electric field fluctuations and dust acoustic waves is examined. It is shown that dust particles acquire large random motion in fluctuating electric fields (within dust cloud) of background plasma causing dust electrostatic pressur...
متن کاملExperiments on Toleration of Temperature by Drosophila
1. Most wild stocks of Drosophila melanogaster can be bred indefinitely on banana agar at a temperature of 31 degrees C. There is no relation between the geographical origin of these stocks and their ability to tolerate this temperature. 2. A single wild stock has been found which will breed for only one generation at temperatures above 29 degrees C. The offspring hatched at 31 degrees C. will ...
