New details revealed about the #lifecycle of an unusual class of #stars

In the paper Krüger & Wirth (2011) we elucidate various biologically interesting phenomena based on the #mite #Sarraceniopus #nipponensis (#Histiostomatidae) that is bound to life within the pitchers of carnivorus #Sarracenia plants (#Ericales).
we have also dealt intensively with the #lifecycle and details of the #prematingbehavior. The attached #SEM photo shows two #males apparently #competing for the #mateguarding privilege with a #female #tritonymph.

So I am torn 1) as trained entomologist (previous life) I love having these eggs from the Large White (Pieris rapae) 2) they are on my 1st attempt of growing brussel sprouts

Think I will end up keeping them and taking loads more photos as they develop

Before anyone says, yes I had them under cover but they grew and burst through the netting that I had down

A difficult part of controlling some #parasitic #diseases is their complex #lifecycle with multiple #hosts.

But this can also be used against them by controlling their hosts.

This article outlines a fantastic #schistosomiasis #management strategy in which #snail #habitat (#vegetation) was reduced.

Benefits:
-disease reduction
-better access to water
-compost for #agriculture
-animal feed

« With 587 votes in favour, nine against and 20 abstentions, MEPs endorsed a deal reached with the Council to overhaul #EU rules on batteries and #waste batteries. The new law takes into account technological developments and future challenges in the sector and will cover the entire #Battery #LifeCycle, from design to end-of-life. » https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20230609IPR96210/making-batteries-more-sustainable-more-durable-and-better-performing

Und wenn ich @leyrer "ablösen" möchte, kann ich mir auch noch mehr aus den Rippen "leiern" (haha, was ein #wortwitz 🤣)

Wie man viele Hundert "Pets" automatisch deployt und konfiguriert und patcht. (irgendwas mit #lifecycle und #configmanagement und #patching

Wow there is a special issue related to #BIM in that journal!

Petals Wither and Fall. The tree peony’s bloom is spent, replaced with a set of pods for a new generation of plants. This is the best season for our peony in some time and we’re delighted to see its comeback! #flower #peony #lifecycle #spring

Sophia's second caterpillar has turned. So glad it's actually working this time and looking forward to releasing whatever they turn into.

The second grade team is starting their unit of Life Cycles in Science. Beekeeper for the City of Orlando’s Office of Sustainability and Resilience, Ms. Tuesday Piper, came to visit Andover and join us in the discussion of the life cycle of a bee. She also taught our students other interesting facts about bees such as pollination, and brought in some of her beekeeping equipment. We would like to thank her for taking time out of her day and visiting Andover!

An analysis of 7 towns in NB, Canada. The amount of money put towards cars is disgusting. Many will advocate for more more more highways and roads, but what we need is viable alternatives. #StrongTowns #cardependancy #Urbanism #lifecycle #infrastructure #Canada

Dingelingeling! Highly interesting article on the carbon footprint of bicycle 🚲 production and use on my favorite website (the low tech magazine). My no. 1 take-away: in terms of life-cycle assessment a steel-frame electric bike has a lower footprint than a non-electric aluminium-frame bicycle! Read much more here ➡️
