Plants intermediate in appearance between Nuphar microphyllaand N. variegata (Nymphaeaceae) have long been assumed to bethe result of hybridization. The evidence for this is based primarilyon field observations of morphology, poor fruit production, closegeographical proximity of presumed parent species, and limited pollensterility data. Fertile populations of the same plants have also beendocum...

many of insects have re-mating behavoiur during their reproductive period. the re-mating phenomenons have been observed in many ladybirds, too. in current study, the change of proportion of male to female (sex ratio) was used in order to changing of possibility and times of re-mating in hippodamia variegata. in previous studies it has been indicated that males make up about 50% of this predator...

This study was conducted to determine the overwintering insect biodiversity in pistachio orchards of Middle Euphrates Valley, Turkey during 2017 and 2018 by artificial shelters. Artificial shelters were established five ?ehirba??, Karaba?, Meyanca, Baraj Ekenek locations. Ten trees selected within each orchard these covered with a burlap sack rest corrugated cardboard through September January....
