Plant Biodiversity Enhances Bees and Other Pollinators in Agro Ecosystems.pptxacademickushal83
In summary, exploring entomology aspects related to plant biodiversity and its impact on pollinators in agro ecosystems highlights several key points. Entomologists study pollinator diversity and foraging behavior influenced by plant diversity. They also assess habitat preferences and health, examining how access to diverse floral resources impacts pollinator populations. Moreover, entomologists investigate pesticide impacts, quantify pollinator contributions to crop pollination, and explore plant diversity's role in supporting natural pest control and climate change resilience. Entomology contributes to conservation by promoting pollinator-friendly practices and educating stakeholders. Overall, these aspects provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between plant biodiversity and pollinators, informing sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation efforts.
Dipteran insects and their positive role in environment.The word D.pdfasif1401
Dipteran insects and their positive role in environment.
The word Diptera is derived from Greek di meaning two and ptera meaning wings.Though these
insects are known to have two wing they efficiently use only there for flight and the hind wings
being reduced to balanced organs called \"Halterers\".
The order diptera includes a large number of species most of them are known for their ability to
cause diseases in human beings but they are of considerable ecological and human
importance.They are known to cause dreadful diseases like malaria,dengue, yellow fever by
acting as vectors but their beneficial role in ecosystem cannot be ignored.
Some of the positive aspects of the order can be listed as follows:
1. We know that pollination is an essential mechanism for fruit production and we are aware that
bees are important pollinators .Dipterans are the second largest pollinators after the
hymenopterans.In fact they are said to be the earliest pollinating agents. Many crop plants are
dependent on these insect for pollination without which the fruit bearing process is not
completed.
The chocolate which we enjoy would have not been there had there been no flies. It is a known
fact that the chocolate plant Theobroma cocoa produces very small flowers and are self
incompatable for various reasons very small midges of the families Ceratopogonidae and
Cecidomyiidae pollinate the small white flowers emerging from the stems. so next time we curse
a fly remember that we will go without chocolate if we eradicate them.
2. The study of genetics has made many things impossible possible now , we should not forget
the contribution of our fruit fly here . Most of the genetic studies are based upon the experiments
conducted on fruit flies,because of there smaller genome and easy to rear they serve as excellent
genetic model organisms.
3. They play an important role at various trophic level both as consumers and as prey. In many
aquatic ecosystems they form the main food source for birds and fishes.As herbivores in
wetlands, flies can be very beneficial in controlling potential eutrophication.Many of the aquatic
flies are known to reduce algal proliferation, despite very high algal productivity.
4. They form a dominant taxa in temperate ecosystems.
5.Maggots are reared and are used as fishing baits.
6. Some of the maggots which selectvely feed on the necrotic tissue are used in medicine in
debraidment to clear wounds.
7.Some members belonging to the families Muscidae or the Sphaeroceridae are detritivores,
meaning they feed on decaying material. . These are beneficial in that they speed up nutrient
cycling and thus lead to a richer soil (indirectly).Larve of some of the diptran insects are known
to act as excellent scavengers , decomposers.
8 .Some flies play an important role in bilogical control of weeds and pests.
9. They are used in forensic labs also . some of the maggots that feed on corpses provide the
evidence for the time of death in that they are known to fe.
you can find answers to what are insects, evolution, why are they dominant creatures on earth, population size, where they are found, life cycle, how insects see, etc.,
Importance of study of immature stages of insects in agricultureSanju Thorat
The type of life cycle will vary with the insect-pest. However, most pests have certain weak points during their life cycle when they are the most vulnerable to manage. Some insect are predators, either as larvae or in both larval and adult stages. The decomposition of organic waste, such as dung and manures are an important ecosystem process which is largely provided by insects. Insect as food for animals and human being. The knowledge regarding immature stages of insect-pests and understand site of oviposition, site of pupation and larval behaviour can allow for timely and effective management, thus we can reduction in the qualitative and quantitative losses of yield and increase the profit.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

36. The Yarrows – horticultural plants extraordinaire
Family: Asteraceae (Sunflower
family)
Cultivated in Europe ??thousands
of years
About half a dozen species are
commonly grown as garden plants
Natural variation in color has been
exploited – many named cultivars –
yellow, pink, red, purple
The species name, millefolium-of a
thousand leaves-describes the
fine, feathery foliage which
resembles a fern.

37. Western Yarrow – Achilla millefolia
Found in most of CA
60-100 species of Achillia
worldwide – northern
hemisphere
In CA, found in seasonally wet
places:
http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_JM_treatment.pl?609,615,616
Meadows and pastures
Along stream edges
In sand dunes
Along alkali sinks
On coastal strand
In coastal grasslands
In Coastal Sage Scrub and
Chaparral
http://linnaeus.nrm.se/flora/di/astera/achil/achimilv.jpg
38. Western Yarrow can be used in many ways!
Slopes, hillsides
Mixtures
Good garden plant for fresh or dry
floral arrangements
Foliage is pleasantly fragrant when
crushed – used for tea, medicinals
Can be mowed to form a highly
competitive ground cover to
control soil erosion.
Flowers!!!
Good butterfly/insect plant
J.S. Peterson @ USDA-NRCS PLANTS Database
39. Success with Yarrow
is almost guaranteed
Yarrow can endure dry,
impoverished soil
Survives with little
maintenance – neglect
Best in full sun; grows but less
flowering in shade
A true perennial taking two
years to become established
Included in most commercial
mixed ‘native lawn’ mixes
Gary A. Monroe @ USDA-NRCS PLANTS Database
40. Why Yarrow makes a good lawn substitute
Spreads quickly, giving good
cover
Super for banks and other areas
that can’t easily be mowed
Spreading habit inhibits weeds
Can be mowed – occasionally and
on high setting w/ rotary mower
Companion plant – attracts
beneficial insects, repels others
Does well on poor, dry, sandy
soils where other plants grow
poorly

68. Potential Risks/Controversies: Human
Health Effects
Introducing allergens and toxins into food
Transfer of antibiotic resistance marker genes;
cause the development of diseases which are
immune to antibiotics
Unknown effects of a new – and biologically basic –
technology; not much is known about their long-
term effects on human beings
69. Potential Risks: Environmental Effects
Unintended phytotoxicity: plants less resistant to
other pathogens/environmental challenges
Adversely changing the nutrient content of a crop;
consequences for herbivores
Antibiotic resistance is spread: to other (wild)
plants, animals, microorganisms
Emergence of "super" weeds: herbicide/pest
resistant; high yield
Development of (or, more rapid development of)
insecticide resistance in pests
70. Potential Risks: may worsen current
environmental challenges
Unintended transfer of transgenes through cross-
pollination
Unknown effects on other organisms (e.g., soil
microbes; butterflies); toxicity
Loss of floral and faunal biodiversity: farmers plant
only the GM plants; beneficial insects killed
Effects of global climate changes – changed
geographic distribution of pests; ?? Impact of
transgenic plants; pollinator diversity, etc.
