Effect of honeybee products, as food supplements, on the biological activities of three Trichogramma species (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)
Abstract Egg parasitoids play a significant role in biological control for lepidopteran insects, where they kill the eggs (the first stage of the developmental cycle).Trichogramma species are the very important ones of these egg parasitoids.Under natural conditions, adult Trichogramma species are known to feed upon nectar, pollen, and honeydew.Here
Intra-urban human mobility and activity transition: evidence from social media check-in data.
Most existing human mobility literature focuses on exterior characteristics of movements but neglects activities, the driving force that underlies human movements.In this research, we combine activity-based analysis with a movement-based approach to model the intra-urban human mobility observed from about 15 million check-in records during a yearlo
Phenomenology of ELDER dark matter
Abstract We explore the phenomenology of Elastically Decoupling Relic (ELDER) dark matter.ELDER is a thermal relic whose present density is determined primarily by the cross-section of its elastic scattering off Standard Model (SM) particles.Assuming that this scattering is mediated Time Release by a kinetically mixed dark photon, we argue that the
