Comparing LC50 of Insectisides Pirimicarb and Rotenone on Blowfly, Blowfly larvae, Woodlice and Daphni Abstract The LC50 of insecticides rotenone and pirimicarb were compared by testing blowfly, blowfly larva, woodlice and daphnia. Rotenone is a NADH dehydrogenase inhibitor causing death by oxidative stress however pirimicarb causes toxicity through acetylcholinesterase inhibition. It was found that rotenone had large toxic effects on daphnia, blowflies and woodlice but not maggots and pirimicarb

2 Morality and value Morality and value are the second themes that can find in Albee’s plays. According to Adams (1985: 1-2) in 1960s the United States suffered enough with African-American issues and the SSSR and Albee, and his followers wrote some plays in response to the existing situation and American values. In his famous work Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Albee critically examined institutions and values that Americans held dear – family, marriage, success and glory, for instance

Abstract Modern zoos have an important role in the conservation of many species. Each of these species have their own requirements to be able to live a healthy life in captivity. In this husbandry manual, the focus will be on the gorilla species (Gorilla gorilla) emphasizing the subspecies Gorilla gorilla gorilla, known as western lowland gorilla. This animal is in the list of critically endangered species; therefore the conservation programs performed by the zoos are very important to keep this

Mangroves in Australia The mangrove communities of Australia are some of the most highly adaptive plant communities in the world. These plants live in an environment that is often engulfed with seawater. This environment is considered an arid environment due to the lack of fresh water. The plants of the mangrove community must develop several adaptations to deal with the environment. The environment these plants often inhabit is referred to as an intertidal zone. The intertidal zone is

Enduring Understanding 4.A: Interactions Within biological systems lead to complex properties. Overview Almost every aspect of biology involves interaction between different components and systems. It starts all the way at the cellular level with the interactions of cell organelles that allow a cell to function and it goes all the way up to the way different ecosystems come together to form complex communities and interactions. It is these interactions that make biological systems complex and how

life where species and ecosystems operated on competition, adaptation, and natural selection, which caused evolution on multiple scales. In many cases, these species or systems co-evolved, that is, were symbiotically related through competition, parasitism, mutualism, or predation. It’s important to note that individuals’ characteristics were selected by natural conditions and by other species. However, these actions as a whole can be considered natural selection, a more abstract generalization

Abstract Predators are animals that kill for their food; they must do this in order to survive. There has been controversy about predation in some areas including the re-introduction of wolves into the Yellowstone National park area and other areas. Predator-prey relationships are both beneficial and detrimental to some species. The weakest and unhealthiest become dinner for those predators and also become a positive thing for the species that only the strongest of the herd will survive

The Evolution of the Immune System and Parasite Virulence as a Response to Immunopathology Ryan Thompson Introduction Virulence can be defined as the damage that is cast upon a host by a parasite (Alizon et al., 2009; Sorci 2013). As virulence increases, a parasite becomes more deadly, as it causes more harm to its host (Shudo and Iwasa 2003). The Trade-Off theory, the idea that a more virulent parasite tends to be transmitted early on in infection, is often believed to be the main driving force

Horror movies in general play on our fears, conscious or unconscious. They are often reflective of the fears of society at a given time, or of more simple and archetypical fears. Horror that is aimed towards or about women, however, almost always relates to the female body in some way, whether it be controlling it, in the case of possession; harming it through entrance, in the case of stabbings and rape; and fear of the female body itself, most often shown through menstruation, pregnancy, and birth
