the effect of host diet on developmental time, fecundity and life-table parameters of bracon hebetor (say) (hymenoptera: braconidae) against the mediterranean flour moth ephestia kuehniella (zeller) was studied in the laboratory condition at 26 ± 1 °c, 65 ± 5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16l:8d h. the diets used were rice, barley, corn and wheat flours. the developmental time (egg to...

The dopaminergic (DAergic) system plays a pivotal role in incubation behavior via the regulation of prolactin (PRL) secretion in birds, however the role of the DA/PRL system in rearing behavior is poorly understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the DA/PRL system and rearing behavior in a gallinaceous bird, the native Thai chicken. Incubating native Tha...

Acetylcholinesterase 1 (AmAChE1) of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, has been suggested to have non-neuronal functions. A systematic expression profiling of AmAChE1 over a year-long cycle on a monthly basis revealed that AmAChE1 was predominantly expressed in both head and abdomen during the winter months and was moderately expressed during the rainy summer months. Interestingly, AmAChE1 expressi...

How are retrospective accounts of family rearing environments linked to adult personality? We addressed this question by measuring both domains in a sample of 180 reared-apart twins. Twins completed extensive measures of rearing environments (the Minnesota-Briggs History Record, the Block Environmental Questionnaire, the Family Environment Scale, and the Physical Facilities Questionnaire) and a...

The mass rearing of insects as animal feed is a new and rapidly growing component circular agriculture, which offers the opportunity to develop it in such way that promotes insect health welfare. Behaviour an important indicator performance In this review, we synthesise current behavioural knowledge on two saprophytic dipteran species are increasingly being used mini-livestock, black soldier fl...

Larval rearing of Bactrocera invadens Drew, Tsuruta & White (Diptera: Tephritidae) on artiÞcial diet is described. The adaptation process for this insect, when moved from whole mango, Mangifera indica L., fruit rearing to artiÞcial diet based on wheat bran, took between three and Þve generations to reach theplateauof quality control parameters observed for rearing the insect onwhole mango fruit...

Controversy exists in the criminology literature over whether rearing social class influences the emergence of criminal behavior. Theoretically, some researchers have argued, a lower rearing class status reflects intellectual and emotional deprivation which motivates later illegal activity.
