MULTIPLE MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGIES AND THE PRESENCE OF A POLYANDRIC MATING SYSTEM IN THE TERMITE RETICULITERMES LABRALIS (ISOPTERA:RHINOTERMITIDAE)

Reproductive systems of termite colonies may involve the number of individuals in the reproductive caste and the copulatory selectivity of reproductive individuals (i.e., polyandry Artificial Flora or polygamy), both of which directly impact the fertility and genetic diversity of the colony.Polygamy is widespread in the lower termites, whereas poly

Biodiversity is declining full Zip Jacket globally, and Australia has one of the worst extinction records for mammals.The development of sequencing technologies means that genomic approaches are now available as important tools for wildlife conservation and management.Despite this, genome sequences are available for only 5% of threatened Australian

Abstract Background Fertilisation of land with processed sewage sludges, which often contain low levels of pathogens, endotoxins, and trace amounts of industrial and household chemicals, has become common practice in Western Europe, the US, and Canada.Local governments, however, are increasingly restricting or banning the practice in response to re
