The biopurification systems (BPS) or biobeds are employed for the treatment of pesticide-containing wastewater agricultural origin. use these devices pesticide removal requires proper optimization composition biomixtures (BPS active matrix) according to target pesticides applied on a specific crop and available materials used in their elaboration. This work aims design biomixture simultaneous several coffee crops, local practices Costa Rica. Three containing either husk, coconut fiber rice...
Many small parasitoid wasps have a black head, an orange mesosoma and metasoma (BOB color pattern), which is usually present in both sexes. A likely function of this widespread pattern aposematic (warning) coloration, but has never been investigated. To test hypothesis, we presented spider predators ( Lyssomanes jemineus ), field-captured bred captivity from eggs, to four wasp genera Baryconus , Chromoteleia Macroteleia Scelio each genus being represented by BOB morphospecies morphospecies....
La minería artesanal a pequeña escala (MAPE), como economía de subsistencia, ha tenido un auge importante en los últimos años debido al aumento el precio del oro, generando impactos ambientales y socioeconómicos. El uso la técnica extracción oro con amalgamas mercurio descomposición térmica para purificación metal; genera menos cinco problemas ambientales: degradación tierra, deforestación, contaminación sedimentación cursos agua, atmosférica salud fauna seres humanos. forma orgánica es más...
Abstract Many small parasitoid wasps have a black-orange-black (BOB) color pattern, which is usually present in both sexes. A likely function of this widespread pattern aposematic (warning) coloration, but has never been investigated. To test hypothesis, we presented spider predators (Lyssomanes jemineus ), field-captured and lab-reared individuals, to species with the BOB congeneric all-black each four scelionid genera ( Baryconus, Chromoteleia, Macroteleia Scelio ). Each spider/wasp trial...
