OBSERVATIONS ON NESTING ACTIVITY, LIFE CYCLE, AND BROOD BALL MORPHOMETRY OF THE BORDERED DUNG BEETLE ONITICELLUS CINCTUS (FABRICIUS, 1775) (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE) UNDER LABORATORY CONDITIONS

Observations on nesting activity, life cycle, and brood ball morphometry of the Bordered Dung Beetle Oniticellus cinctus (Fabricius, 1775) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) under laboratory conditions

The nesting activity, life cycle, and brood ball morphometry of the dung beetle Oniticellus cinctus (Fabricius, 1775) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) were studied under laboratory conditions for the first time in India.The females made a brood chamber within the dung mass provided, wherein they made brood balls to lay eggs.The life cycle includes egg, l

Ultimate Support Pressure Determination for Shield Tunnel Faces in Saturated Strata Based on Seepage Flow Control

Existing methods for calculating the ultimate support pressure of tunnel faces do not consider the control of seepage flow.Therefore, a model for calculating the ultimate support pressure under seepage conditions was established based on a two-dimensional water head distribution model and the upper bound theorem of limit analysis.The reliability of

Climatic and geographic predictors of life history variation in Eastern Massasauga (Sistrurus catenatus): A range-wide synthesis.

Elucidating how life history traits vary geographically is important to understanding variation in population dynamics.Because many aspects of ectotherm life history are climate-dependent, geographic variation in climate is expected to have a large impact on population dynamics through effects on annual survival, body size, growth rate, age at firs
