INHIBITORY COPULATION EFFECT OF VIBRATIONAL RIVAL FEMALE SIGNALS OF THREE STINK BUG SPECIES AS A TOOL FOR MATING DISRUPTION

Inhibitory Copulation Effect of Vibrational Rival Female Signals of Three Stink Bug Species as a Tool for Mating Disruption

Stink bugs are major pests in diverse crops around the world.Pest management strategies based on insect behavioral manipulation could help to develop biorational management strategies of stink bugs.Insect mating disruption using vibratory signals is an approach with high potential for pest management.The objective of this work was to investigate th

Revisiting host preference in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex: experimental infection shows M. tuberculosis H37Rv to be avirulent in cattle.

Experiments in the late 19th century sought to define the host specificity of the causative agents of tuberculosis in mammals.Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the human tubercle bacillus, was here independently shown by Smith, Koch, and von Behring to be avirulent in cattle.This finding was erroneously used by Koch to argue the converse, namely that Myc

Modified Wavelet-domain Adaptive Filtering Scheme for Stereophonic Acoustic Echo Cancellation in the Teleconferencing Application

Stereophonic acoustic echo cancellers are being used in high quality audio communication systems read more to reduce the echoes that arise from coupling between the loudspeakers and microphones.These echo cancellers have problems more severe than their monophonic counterparts.The most important problem is the mismatch between the impulse responses
