Termites occur in many ecosystems throughout tropical and subtropical areas. Their distribution is driven by several factors, including landscape some soil characteristics. This study aims to determine organic matter’s role on termites’ diversity a shrubby savanna park. were sampled across transects 3 sites of Galangashi park (northern part Togo). The which termites harvested was analyzed check...

‘In my experience, the two main things that make graduate school hard are the unstructured nature of the process, and the lack of information about what you should spend your time on,’ writes Marie desJardins in the pragmatic How to Succeed in Graduate School: A Guide for Students and Advisors. She’s right. Graduate students, for the most part, don’t get enough good advice, about how to succeed...

Recent investigations of the three-dimensional (3D) binocular eye positions in near vision have shown that a full characterization of vergence requires incorporation of its torsional component. The latter has a proportional relationship with horizontal vergence and elevation, causing the eyes to have intorsion in near upgaze but extorsion in near downgaze. In this study, we focus on the dynamic...

The first comprehensive combined molecular and morphological phylogenetic analysis of the major groups of termites is presented. This was based on the analysis of three genes (cytochrome oxidase II, 12S and 28S) and worker characters for approximately 250 species of termites. Parsimony analysis of the aligned dataset showed that the monophyly of Hodotermitidae, Kalotermitidae and Termitidae wer...

Termites are considered as important pests of maize plantations in Republic Benin. However, very little information is available on their assemblage composition, abundance, damages, and the sensitivity common varieties This study aims to fill these gaps provide baseline for development an integrated termite management plantations. Therefore, 60 fields across 30 villages located four agro-ecolog...

As part of an ongoing research project, geovisualisations of bushfires were delivered at GPS-determined locations to volunteer firefighters from the Country Fire Authority’s Macedon Ranges Group. The participants skill level ranged from basic wildfire firefighter trained through to captain of brigade. The location-based scenario training exercise is called CODE RED: MOBILE. Using information fr...

In the context of Hering's equal-innervation law, this paper discusses the problem of how the three-dimensional positions of the two eyes, each expressed by a rotation vector, can be separated into contributions of the version and vergence system. As proposed by Van Rijn and Van den Berg [(1993) Vision Research, 33, 691-708], this can be done by taking the sum and difference of the position rot...
