Reciprocal cross-stadia experimental infections were used to demonstrate stadium specificity within the gregarine assemblage parasitizing Tenebrio molitor, the yellow mealworm. Gregarina cuneata, Gregarina polymorpha, and Gregarina steini are characteristic parasites of larval T. molitor. Gregarina niphandrodes is a characteristic parasite of adult T. molitor. Experimental infections were produ...

1. Evidence for the role of imprinted genes in behavioral phenotypes The crossbreeding of animal species with one another can often produce hybrids with parent-of-origin-specific changes in behavioral phenotypes. For instance, the offspring of a male zebra and a female donkey are noted for their stubbornness in comparison with the reciprocal cross (Gray 1972; Walton & Hammond 1938). For many ye...

The principal research questions addressed in this ongoing study are: What are the correlates of successful information-based, cross-agency collaborations across government agencies? What are the reciprocal relationships among information technologies, business processes and organizational structure? In the proposed poster we report, as one part of the broader study, the frequencies of response...

Cross-cultural changes were accompanied by the sovereignty transition of Hong Kong during the TIMSS data collection, which triggered migration of intellectual families between Hong Kong and other places. To enhance comparability of the urban setting, this investigation focuses on Singapore and Hong Kong for having similar Chinese majority and colonial history. As both cities were reported havin...
