FUNCTIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF LABELLUM PATTERN VARIATION IN A SEXUALLY DECEPTIVE ORCHID (OPHRYS HELDREICHII): EVIDENCE OF INDIVIDUAL SIGNATURE LEARNING EFFECTS.

Mimicking female insects to attract male pollinators is an important strategy in sexually deceptive orchids of the genus Ophrys, and some species possess flowers with conspicuous labellum patterns.The function of the variation of the patterns remains unresolved, with suggestions that these enhance pollinator communication.We investigated the possib

The predominant use of junk food in our societies is continuously held responsible for the obese body physiques and overweight among the kids and adolescents.The current supportive environments where organic foods are limited, and new processed foods have been brought to the market with more variant tastes and acceptability for the kids and adolesc

We study theoretically and experimentally the influence of temporally shaping the light pulses in an atom interferometer, with a focus podocarpus gracilior column on the phase response of the interferometer.We show that smooth light pulse shapes allow rejecting high frequency phase fluctuations (above the Rabi frequency) and thus relax the requirem

Inorganic soils of the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys podocarpus gracilior column planted potatoes often crust in early spring.Crust strength and thickness are conditioned by the amount and intensity of rainfall, soil clod stability, and rate of drying of the soil surface.In the past there has not been much information about the extent to which
