Plants and herbivores have co-evolved in their natural habitats for about 350 Quilt Set million years, but since the domestication of crops, plant resistance against insects has taken a different turn.With the onset of monoculture-driven modern agriculture, selective pressure on insects to overcome resistances has dramatically increased.Therefore p
Despite the growing literature on sustainability assessment in the urban context, the resulting approaches and methods utilise several differing theoretical frameworks and lack a unifying vision and modus operandi.Innumerable tools and instruments have been developed for particular purposes and rather narrow goals.Curiously, these tools and instrum
Abstract Among hymenopteran insects, aculeate species such as bees, ants, and wasps have enlarged and morphologically elaborate mushroom bodies (MBs), a higher-order brain center in the insect, implying their relationship with the advanced behavioral traits of aculeate species.The molecular bases leading to the acquisition of complicated MB functio
