BEHAVIORAL RESPONSES OF DIFFERENT REPRODUCTIVE STATUSES AND SEXES IN HERMETIA ILLUCENS (L) ADULTS TO DIFFERENT ATTRACTANTS

Behavioral responses of different reproductive statuses and sexes in Hermetia illucens (L) adults to different attractants

Background The odor of various fermented organic materials acts as an attractant for oviposition by gravid females of the black soldier fly (BSF) to find larval food sources.Females display oviposition site selection on various organic materials, but little work has been done on the response to substrate attractants under caged conditions similar t

Impact of Bt cotton expressing single (Cry1Ac) and dual toxins (Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab) on the fitness of the predator Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi (Esben-Petersen): prey-mediated tri-trophic analysis

Abstract Transgenic Bt cotton with genes from soil inhabiting spore forming bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner produces δ-endotoxin for the control of lepidopteran insects.The prey-mediated effects of Cry protein on the third trophic level is the most realistic exposure pathway that needs to be addressed as an important component of environ

Active Sonar Target Classification with Power-Normalized Cepstral Coefficients and Convolutional Neural Network

Detection and classification of unidentified underwater targets maneuvering in complex underwater environments are critical for active sonar systems.In previous studies, many detection methods were applied to separate targets from the clutter using signals that exceed a preset threshold determined by the sonar console operator.This is because the h
