1. A Kicking Butterfly Chrysalis

Author:

Subject:
Oecophylla smaragdina; abdomen; butterflies; ecdysis; predation; pupae; sensilla; silk; South East Asia
Abstract:
... One of the primary characteristics of the pupal stage of most holometabolous insects is their immobility. This paper describes a previously unknown example of mobility in a pierid pupa from SE Asia. The movements of the pupae of Catopsilia pomona assume the form of a vigorous kicking motion when disturbed. Their sensitivity to touch was found to decrease with time since ecdysis, but detachment of ...

Abstract:
... Due to the spatial variability of soil resources in rapidly changing landscapes, such as rubber expansion areas in mountainous South East Asia, landscape based soil organic carbon (SOC) stock assessments need new approaches to obtain cost effective high-resolution soil maps. 3D modelling presents the opportunity to model changes of soil properties with soil depth and in space in one single model. ...

Neogene period; biogeography; phylogeny; plant taxonomy; Australasian region; South East Asia
Abstract:
... Time-slicing of areas is a novel biogeographic method that helps resolve conflicting area relationships and assess temporal overlap as an explanation for the conflict. The method differs from others currently popular in biogeography in that it does not date nodes before analysis (e.g. divergence dating) to infer area relationships and classification. Here, time-slicing is used as a proof of concep ...

Abstract:
... The tropical peat swamp forests of South‐East Asia are being rapidly converted to agricultural plantations of oil palm and Acacia creating a significant global “hot‐spot” for CO₂ emissions. However, the effect of this major perturbation has yet to be quantified in terms of global warming potential (GWP) and the Earth's radiative budget. We used a GWP analysis and an impulse‐response model of radia ...

Abstract:
... Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is becoming more prevalent worldwide due to increases in the numbers of elderly and obese patients. Currently, pharmaceutical medicines used for the treatment of OA are for symptomatic therapy and therefore new therapeutic agents are needed. Kaempferia parviflora (KP) is a plant growing naturally in Southeast Asia and has various pharmacological effects including an anti-i ...
