Abstract:
... A novel early-warning method of water resource carrying status (WRCS) is proposed in the current work and applied in Nanjing City, China. Specifically, the concepts of ultimate water resource carrying capacity (UWRCC) and WRCS are first introduced to differentiate between various methods of determining water resource carrying capacity (WRCC). A coordinated development index (CDI) between the water ...

Abstract:
... Swarming behavior facilitates pair formation, and therefore mating, in many eusocial termites. However, the physiological adjustments and morphological transformations of the flight muscles involved in flying and flightless insect forms are still unclear. Here, we found that the dispersal flight of the eusocial termite Reticulitermes chinensis Snyder led to a gradual decrease in adenosine triphosp ...
