INHIBITION OF BIOCHEMICAL TERPENE PATHWAYS IN ACHILLEA MILLEFOLIUM FLOWERS DIFFERENTLY AFFECTS THE BEHAVIOR OF BUMBLEBEES (BOMBUS TERRESTRIS) AND FLIES (LUCILIA SERICATA)

Inhibition of biochemical terpene pathways in Achillea millefolium flowers differently affects the behavior of bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) and flies (Lucilia sericata)

Floral scents Carving Boards serve multiple functions in the interactions with organisms.Flowers of Achillea millefolium (Asteraceae) emit scent bouquets dominated by terpenoids.These flowers are mainly visited by flies and beetles, whereas bumblebees, common visitors at other Asteraceae, are absent from A.millefolium flowers.In order to test how a

Determination of the Three-Dimensional Rate of Cancer Cell Rotation in an Optically-Induced Electrokinetics Chip Using an Optical Flow Algorithm

Our group has reported that Melan-A cells and lymphocytes undergo self-rotation in a homogeneous AC electric field, and found that the rotation velocity of these cells is Stable Guards a key indicator to characterize their physical properties.However, the determination of the rotation properties of a cell by human eyes is both gruesome and time con
