Callosobruchus maculatus, traditionally a beetle found commonly over all over parts of Europe and Asia, but is most commonly known for its appearance in labrotaory sciences. C. maculatus is most wide;y sued for ex[eriments due to its reproductivity feauture. Although, with this type of beetle, their reproductive physiology differs betwwen aspects. However, if they are exposed significantly they can reach a stress peak which can lead to mortality. According to a study, performed by various scientists, they found out that be if poked enough these organism reached a level so large that is possible for those traits to be passed to their offspring. The research cocluded that after multiple female mating, there was significant genetic variation of

    After conducting the experiments, the hypothesis was found to be incorrect. The data’s common trend was; as the beetle’s mass increased, the amount of weight it could pull decreased. One of the beetles tested had a mass of 1.6 grams and was able to pull only a mass of 18.6 grams. The second beetle had a mass of 1.8 grams and was able to pull 37.3 grams.

    In today's society, relationships of all different kinds become more and more accepted each day. However, when it comes to interracial relationships, people still hold opposing viewpoints on the matter. For the most part, peoples' viewpoints all boil down to two beliefs; the traditional belief and the popular culture belief. People who follow the traditional belief are seen as more proud of and loyal to their culture/heritage and tend to be more segregated than others. They feel that when someone of their own culture dates someone outside of their own culture, he or she is "wanting to escape" from his or her cultural identity. On the other hand, popular culture belief sees people not by the color of their skin nor by their culture, but rather

    Nettie studied Tenebrio molitor beetles and found that unfertilized eggs in female beetles always contain an X chromosome. Sperm from male beetles contain either an X chromosome or a Y chromosome. She found that eggs fertilized by sperm carrying the X chromosome produce female beetles. The combination of egg and Y-chromosome sperm produce male beetles.

    However, evidence such as fossils is more than enough to lend support and disprove any other theory to the development of species. Examples used by Root-Bernstein and McEachron also provide strong support to evolution. The authors detail how natural selection works in both insects and germs to create organisms better adapted to methods of control. Disease used to run rampant, until the creation of vaccines which led to many diseases becoming extinct. Root-Bernstein and McEachron note that the diseases that have survived to this day have been constantly mutating and evolving to become more resistant to any attempts at suppression. The same can be said for insects that have been consistently exposed to pesticides. The ones that survived the pesticides were able to reproduce and pass along a resistance to their offspring which in turn makes the species more resilient and better suited to their

    The American Oil Beetle is a type of Blister Beetle. These beetles are referred to as oil beetles. They are called this because they release oily droplets of hemolymph when they feel threatened. When the beetle feels threatened or put under pressure, they will release a chemical called cantharidin, which creates blisters and will irritate the human skin. These beetles have a soft, and stout abdomen with a shell that looks like overlapping plates. The beetle has a slightly bumpy surface. The antennae can be seen on its head. The beetle can be appeared as dull black, or can be even seen as shiny black or dark blue. The American Oil Beetle do not fly,

    The main reason for studying forensic entomology is to establish the time since death. Recognizing each species and their life stages as well as having knowledge about how long an insect is in a particular life stage is the basis for establishing a PMI. The use of forensic entomology is a growing area of research, which will become more prevalent as more research on the subject is completed. This is important in criminal cases in providing a time range for when the crime occurred so that it is possible to narrow the possibility of each suspect or to acquit the defendant.

But what we do know of him come from his works which include the Outlines of Pyrrhonism. Sextus had interesting and unique ideas and thoughts. His ideas mostly revolved around the idea of skepticism. As a little note for this paper, I will mostly be using material from the book to talked about what his philosophy was and what he believed.

    Earthworms are important components within ecosystem functionality and play a vital role in soil nutrition and fertility. (Edwards 2004). A prominent characteristic of earthworms is their ability to respire through diffusion of their skin (Bharambe et al 2008). As a direct result of this, earthworms are typically found in moist soils. (Roots 1956). The moist soil is vital in creating the ideal conditions for earthworms to maintain the hydrostatic pressure needed to respire (Laverack, 1963). Although moist soil is needed for this process, earthworms are generally absent from saturated soils as the oxygen levels of the soil are predominately limited this also limits earthworm populations in drier soils (Lee 1985).

They have a small pubic but wider hips. They had frills and possibly some horns on the top of their head. This species of dinosaur had some issues with movement and coordination. In the same species of dinosaur, the horns on Marginocephalia varied in different sizes from small, medium to large. But also as the dinosaur got bigger their horns shrunk and curved backwards.
