Gall wasp

first, then gall wasps were used and last we went back and used carpenter ants and red fire ants. When we used the carpenter ants again along with the red fire ants, DNA was found and we were able to sequence the DNA. This figure shows the gel electrophoresis were we performed our first ant. Although the data may look good. It was not good because no DNA was found in the ants through this process. This figure shows the spectrophotometer that was done for one of the gall wasp flies. It demonstrated

Galls are important because they reflect the condition of plant health and abundance in a specific ecosystem. Gall-inducing species are excellent models for ecological studies due to their abundance, diversity, and sessile habit, which make them easier to census than free-feeding herbivores. This can allow species diversity comparisons among different habitats (Fernandes, 1988). Gall inducers and galls are part of multi-trophic level ladders that include plants, insects, birds, and other animals

want the lights on or off tonight? University professor Dr. Kinsey would advocate for the lights to be kept on. Kinsey, directed by Bill Condon, starring Liam Neeson as Dr. Alfred ‘Prok’ Kinsey, delivers a near perfect portrayal of an obsessive gall wasp collecting scientist turned sexual revolutionary firestarter. Released in 2004, this biographical drama centered around one man’s mission to understand how societal norms and values of the early 20th century, wield the power to oppress and label

Section B. Is local diversity a product of regional forces, local forces, or both, and how might we know? In ecology, the change in species diversity across space and time is one of the oldest studied subjects, however the underlying causes of many diversity patterns is under much debate (Field et al. 2001; MacArthur, 1972; Rosenzweig, 1995). How does diversity arise (Erwin 1991)? How is diversity distributed in space (Dean et al. 1997, Fonseca et al. 2000)? And how is diversity maintained

The most prevalent and popular stereotype of the post World war II era in America is one filled with women abandoning their wartimes jobs and retreating into the home to fulfill their womanly duties. In Joanne Meyerowitz’s Beyond the Feminine Mystique: A reassessment of Postwar Mass Culture, she shows how far women departed from this one dimensional image. While Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique is reflexive and focused on the mainstream, Meyerowitz’s analysis is a broader and more inclusive

Cottonwood Trees Native to the United States, cottonwood trees’ preferred habitat in the wild include moist bottomland areas and around lakes and streams. Those wishing to add one to their landscape need to consider all aspects of the tree before planting, as the tree has a variety of drawbacks that don’t make it suitable for many locations. Basic Description Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoids), which is also its common name, is a fast-growing deciduous tree that obtains an additional 6-feet

of some plant organs (delay senescence). Together with auxin, causes the formation of crown gall Crown gall is a tumor-like mass of undifferentiated cells found typically near the crown of plant ( where root and stem connect) Crown gall is cause by infection with Agrobacterium tumefaciens which insert its plasmid into plant cells chromosome and cause overproduction of auxin and cytokinin. Crown gall is a common problem for fruit and nut

father, who rebels against his father as well as against sexual convention. During his career as a college science instructor, he meets a student who then becomes the love his life. His original interest was in insect studies, specifically studying gall wasps. His interest from studying insects goes to sex advisor to sex researcher. Kinsey’s study requires sample interviews of sexual habits, this study further is published becoming a best seller, with some hatred from the public. As time

If we examine, by quantifiable evaluations focusing on printing production and the distribution of associated technology and scrutinized by the characterization of the extensive expanse of knowledge and ideas across Europe we will discover the invention of the printing press. A result of progress, among a number of allied industries, papermaking and goldsmithing were principal players. The thin paper-like material made from the pith of the papyrus plant was one of the most common writing papers during
