MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF THE GUT CONTENTS OF HARMONIA AXYRIDIS (COLEOPTERA: COCCINELLIDAE) AS A METHOD FOR DETECTING INTRA-GUILD PREDATION BY THIS SPECIES ON APHIDOPHAGOUS PREDATORS OTHER THAN COCCINELLIDS

Several studies have demonstrated that the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis is a strong intra-guild predator of native species of ladybird.Laboratory studies have shown that H.axyridis can be an intra-guild predator of aphid predators other than coccinellids, including the hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus and lacewing Chrysoperla carnea.However, li

Raspberry leaves are a source of carotenoids and polyphenols, including ellagic acid and salicylic acid.The results of scientific research suggest Joint/Bone support that they have potential pro-health properties that contribute to human health.The aim of this study was to determine the polyphenolic and carotenoid profiles in the leaves of selected

The introduction of public transport services by fully automated vehicles can potentially change the way public transit services will be operated, as they allow shifting from rigid scheduled and route-bound services towards flexible, demand-responsive services.This study examines the potential performance of an Automated Demand Responsive Transport

Summary: Gestation is accompanied by alterations in the microbial repertoire; however, the mechanisms driving these changes are unknown.Here, we demonstrate a dramatic shift in the gut microbial composition of women and mice during late pregnancy, including an increase in the relative abundance of Bifidobacterium.Using in-vivo-transplanted pellets,

Abstract Background There is a shortage of trained mental health workers in spite of the significant contribution of psychiatric disorders to the global disease burden.Task ORG GHEE shifting, through the delegation of health care tasks to less specialised health workers such as community health workers (CHWs), is a promising approach to address the
