SPECIES DELIMITATION IN ASEXUAL INSECTS OF ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE: THE CASE OF BLACK SCALE (PARASAISSETIA NIGRA), A COSMOPOLITAN PARTHENOGENETIC PEST SCALE INSECT.

Asexual lineages provide a challenge to species delimitation because species concepts either have little biological meaning for them or are arbitrary, since every individual is monophyletic and reproductively isolated from all other individuals.However, recognition and naming of asexual species is important to conservation and economic applications

We investigate the use of machine learning for solving analytic problems in theoretical physics.In particular, symbolic regression (SR) is making rapid progress in recent years as a tool to fit data using functions whose overall form is not known in advance.Assuming that we have a mathematical problem that is posed analytically, e.g.through equatio

Abstract Lon is a conserved AAA+ URGENT CARE (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) proteolytic machine that plays a key regulatory role in cells under proteotoxic stress.Lon-mediated proteolysis can be stimulated by either the unfolded or specific protein substrates accumulated under stress conditions.However, the molecular basis fo

Alpine snowbeds are characterised by a very short growing season.However, the length of the snow-free period is increasingly prolonged Casual Shoes due to climate change, so that snowbeds become susceptible to invasions from neighbouring alpine meadow communities.We hypothesised that spatial distribution of species generated by plant interactions m
