Phenology of scramble polygyny in a wild population of chrysomelid beetles: the opportunity for and the strength of sexual selection [corrected].

Recent debate has highlighted the importance of estimating both the strength of sexual selection on phenotypic traits, and the opportunity for sexual selection.We describe seasonal fluctuations in mating dynamics of Leptinotarsa undecimlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).We compared several estimates of the opportunity for, and the strength of, sex

Dynamics of superconducting qubit relaxation times

Abstract Superconducting qubits are a leading candidate for quantum computing but display temporal fluctuations in their energy relaxation times T 1.This introduces instabilities in multi-qubit device performance.Furthermore, autocorrelation in these time fluctuations introduces challenges for obtaining Oven Side Support Rack representative measure

Comparative morphology of the genera with perpendicular parameres in Anomalini (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae) allows revalidation of the endemic Mexican genus Lamoana Casey, 1915 stat. rev.

The endemic Mexican genus Lamoana Casey, 1915 stat.rev.is revalidated through a comparative morphological analysis of both male genitalia and somatic characters of all genera with perpendicular parameres.A comparative study and general description of the basic patterns in the morphology of the genitalia for the American genera are provided.A full Z
