SEX-BIASED TOPOGRAPHY EFFECTS ON BUTTERFLY DISPERSAL

Sex-biased topography effects on butterfly dispersal

Abstract Background Metapopulation persistence in fragmented landscapes is assured by dispersal of individuals between local populations.In this scenario the landscape topography, although usually neglected, may have an important role in shaping dispersal throughout the matrix separating habitat patches.Due to inter-sexual differences in optimal re

A New Mathematical Model for Integration of Cell Formation with Machine Layout and Cell Layout by Considering Alternative Process Routing Reliability; A Novel Hybrid Metaheuristic

There is still a great deal of attention in cellular manufacturing systems and proposing capable metaheuristics to better solve these complicated optimization models.In this study, machines are considered unreliable that life span of them follows a Weibull distribution.The intra and inter-cell movements 624 for both parts and machines are determine

Whole genome co-expression analysis of soybean cytochrome P450 genes identifies nodulation-specific P450 monooxygenases

Abstract Background Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) catalyze oxidation of various substrates using oxygen and NAD(P)H.Plant P450s are involved in the biosynthesis of primary and secondary metabolites performing diverse biological functions.The recent availability of VOLUME SHAMPOO the soybean genome sequence allows us to identify and analyze
