DIVERSITY OF INSECTS ASSOCIATED WITH TWO COMMON PLANTS IN THE BRAZILIAN CERRADO: RESPONSES OF TWO GUILDS OF HERBIVORES TO BOTTOM-UP AND TOP-DOWN FORCES

The Trophic Cascade Theory has been used to explain the organization of herbivorous insect communities in tropical ecosystems.In addition, the insect community associated with a species of plant can also be determined by the geographical distribution and taxonomic isolation of the plant.In this study, the following predictions about the number of h

Associative learning and memory are essential to logical thinking and cognition.How the neurons are recruited as associative memory cells to encode multiple input signals for their associated storage and distinguishable retrieval remains unclear.We studied this issue in the barrel cortex by in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, electrophysiology and

Word association can be utilized for identifying gymnastics wall decals semantic network and describing point of view and prior knowledge of someone.This study aims to discuss two focuses, (1) the categorization of response word and (2) language factors that form semantic networks from the response words of word association in the field of law.This

Spousal comparisons have been proposed as a design that can both reduce confounding and estimate effects of the shared adulthood environment.However, assortative mating, the process by which read more individuals select phenotypically (dis)similar mates, could distort associations when comparing spouses.We evaluated the use of spousal comparisons,
