EXPERIMENTAL EXAMINATION OF INTRASPECIFIC DENSITY-DEPENDENT COMPETITION DURING THE BREEDING PERIOD IN MONARCH BUTTERFLIES (DANAUS PLEXIPPUS).

Experimental examination of intraspecific density-dependent competition during the breeding period in monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus).

A central goal of population ecology is to identify the factors that regulate population growth.Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) in eastern North America re-colonize the breeding range over several generations that result in population densities that vary across space and time during the breeding season.We used laboratory experiments to measu

(Mis-)matching type-B anomalies on the Higgs branch

Abstract Building on [1], we uncover new properties of type-B conformal anomalies for Coulomb-branch operators in continuous families of 4D N $$ Cutlery Basket mathcal{N} $$ = 2 SCFTs.We study a large class of such anomalies on the Higgs branch, where conformal symmetry is spontaneously broken, and compare them with their counterpart in the CFT pha

A Previously Unknown Building Structure in Ancient Olympia (Western Peloponnese, Greece) Revealed by Geoarchaeological Investigations and Its Interpretation as a Possible Harbor

The ancient site of Olympia is located on the northern fringe of the Basin of Makrisia at the confluence of the Kladeos and Alpheios rivers (western Peloponnese, Greece) and was used as a venue for the Panhellenic Games from Archaic times until the 4th century AD.Geophysical prospection (frequency domain electromagnetic induction and electrical res
