Class Insecta - Order Leptidoptera and Order OdonataEileen Aycardo
This presentation talks about the Class Insecta specifically the Orders Leptidoptera composed of butterflies and moths and Order Odonata composed of damselflies and dragonflies.
It describes ther anatomy, fedding behavior, habitat.
Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms.
Nearly all insects hatch from eggs. Insect growth is constrained by the inelastic exoskeleton and development involves a series of molts. The immature stages often differ from the adults in structure, habit and habitat, and can include a passive pupal stage in those groups that undergo four-stage metamorphosis. Insects that undergo three-stage metamorphosis lack a pupal stage and adults develop through a series of nymphal stages.[6] The higher level relationship of the insects is unclear. Fossilized insects of enormous size have been found from the Paleozoic Era, including giant dragonflies with wingspans of 55 to 70 cm (22 to 28 in). The most diverse insect groups appear to have coevolved with flowering plants.
Adult insects typically move about by walking, flying, or sometimes swimming. As it allows for rapid yet stable movement, many insects adopt a tripedal gait in which they walk with their legs touching the ground in alternating triangles, composed of the front and rear on one side with the middle on the other side. Insects are the only invertebrates to have evolved flight, and all flying insects derive from one common ancestor. Many insects spend at least part of their lives under water, with larval adaptations that include gills, and some adult insects are aquatic and have adaptations for swimming. Some species, such as water striders, are capable of walking on the surface of water. Insects are mostly solitary, but some, such as certain bees, ants and termites, are social and live in large, well-organized colonies. Some insects, such as earwigs, show maternal care, guarding their eggs and young. Insects can communicate with each other in a variety of ways. Male moths can sense the pheromones of female moths over great distances. Other species communicate with sounds: crickets stridulate, or rub their wings together, to attract a mate and repel other males. Lampyrid beetles communicate with light.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

2. More than 100,000 species of insects are found almost
everywhere in North America, but very few are harmful.
Insects are important to the food chain, pollination, honey, wax,
shellac, silk, food, scavenging, and decomposing.

Let's examine which insects are "good" and which ones are
"bad". Are lady beetles good or bad? Well, they are good when
they eat aphids, but bad when hundreds collect inside your
house.
4. Honey bees - good or bad?Honey bees - good or bad?
Are honey bees good or bad? They are good when
they pollinate and produce honey, but bad when they sting.

In school we learned that
animals are divided into
smaller and smaller
groups. Let's look where
insects fit in the animal
kingdom. From top to
bottom, each category has
fewer species, and the
groups of animals within
each category are
increasingly similar.
7. • Kingdom- animalKingdom- animal
• Phylum - arthropodPhylum - arthropod
• Class - insectClass - insect
• Order - dipteraOrder - diptera
• Family - muscidaeFamily - muscidae
• Genus -Genus - MuscaMusca
• species -species - domesticadomestica
Using the house fly as an
example. Notice the genus and
species is the official scientific
name of the animal. This name
is valid in any country of the
world and is an important way
to avoid confusion. This two-
word Latin naming system was
developed in 1758 and has
hardly changed since then.
There are some important
things to know about it.
8. House FlyHouse Fly
MuscaMusca == flyfly domesticadomestica = home= home
Scientific names are always two words. The first part of the
name (Genus) is always capitalized. This lets us know that it
is the genus. The second name is always in lower case and is
usually descriptive of the insect in some manner. Because
these words are in Latin, they are always italicized (or
underlined which substitutes for italics).
13. Insects also have common names.
One problem with common names is that there may be more
than one common name for the same insect. Common
names often differ between geographical regions. Do you
know what a skeeter hawk is? Or a cow killer? Did you
know a velvet ant really is not an ant, but a wingless
wasp? ...and locusts are really a type of grasshopper - not a
cicada.
15. bumble beebumble beehoney beehoney bee
Important rules govern the use of common names. If the insect truly
belongs to the group that the name denotes, then the common name should
be two words. For example, a honey bee is a true member of the bees, so
honey bee (or bumble bee) is always spelled as two words despite what
your common dictionary may print.

chewingchewing piercing/suckingpiercing/sucking
Insect mouthparts are also highly modified for the
insect. Chewing, biting, or sucking, are a few examples.
Mouthparts of an immature insect may differ from those of
the same insect in its adult stage.
23. Picture of bodyparts
ThoraxThorax
The middle body region is
called the thorax and is
composed of three fused
segments. All legs and
wings are located on the
thorax.
25. AbdomenAbdomen
The last body region is
called the abdomen. It is
composed of many segments
connected by flexible
sections allowing it great
movement.
26. Insects possess an exterior covering called the
exoskeleton. They do not have internal bones. This
segmented "shell" is what gives insects shape and can
be very hard in some insects. It is often covered with a
waxy layer and may have "hairs" called setae.
28. InternalInternal
AnatomyAnatomy
Inside the insect we find the systems for respiration,
circulation, nerves, and digestion, but there is little
resemblance to the same systems found in man or other
mammals.
29. Digestive sys
Digestive SystemDigestive System
foregutforegut
midgutmidgut
hindguthindgut
The digestive system is a tube that opens at the mouth and empties at
the tail end of the insect. It is divided into three parts called the
foregut, midgut, and hind gut. In some insects such as the honey bee,
the foregut acts as a crop to carry or hold liquids which can be
regurgitated later.
30. Circ system
Circulatory SystemCirculatory System
aortic pumpsaortic pumps““ heart ”heart ”
The circulatory system is not composed of a central heart, veins and
arteries which circulate blood cells and transport oxygen. The insect
circulatory system is a simple tube down the back which is open at both
ends and slowly pulses body fluids and nutrients from the rear of the
insect to the head.
31. Nervous SystemNervous System
nerve bundlesnerve bundles
two lobed braintwo lobed brain
(ganglia)(ganglia)
Insects have a less centralized nervous system than humans.
The nerve chord runs along the ventral or bottom aspect of an
insect. The brain is divided into two main parts. The largest
lobes control important areas such as the eyes, antennae, and
mouthparts. Other major concentrations of nerve bundles
called ganglia occur along the nerve chord and usually control
those body functions closest to it.
32. The respiratory system is composed of air sacs and tubes
called tracheae. Air enters the tubes through a series of
openings called spiracles found along the sides of the body.
The largest spiracles are usually found on the thorax where
greater musculature from wings and legs require more
oxygen. There are no spiracles on the head.
34. LifeLife
CyclesCycles
The many diverse orders of insects have four different types of life cycles.
These life cycles are called "metamorphosis" because of the changes of
shape that the insects undergo during development.
35. Without meta
Without MetamorphosisWithout Metamorphosis
eggegg adultadultnymphsnymphs
The first type is "without" metamorphosis which the
wingless primitive orders such as silverfish (Thysanura)
and springtails (Collembola) possess. The young resemble
adults except for size.
36. Incomplete meta

eggegg naiadsnaiads adultadult
The second type is "incomplete" metamorphosis
which is found among the aquatic insect orders such as
mayflies (Ephemeroptera) and dragonflies (Odonata).
37. Gradual meta
Gradual MetamorphosisGradual Metamorphosis
eggegg nymphsnymphs adultadult
The third type is "gradual" metamorphosis seen in such orders as the
grasshoppers (Orthoptera), termites (Isoptera), thrips (Thysanoptera),
and true bugs (Hemiptera). This life cycle starts as an egg, but each
growth, or nymphal stage looks similar, except it lacks wings and the
reproductive capacity that the adult possesses.
38. Complete MetamorphosisComplete Metamorphosis
eggegg larvaelarvae pupapupa adultadult
The fourth type is "complete" metamorphosis found in butterflies
(Lepidoptera), beetles (Coleoptera), flies (Diptera), and bees, wasps, and
ants (Hymenoptera). This life cycle has the four stages of egg, larva,
pupa, and adult. Each stage is quite distinct.
39. molted roachmolted roach
It should be noted that because insects are hard-bodied,
they cannot grow larger gradually. Instead they grow
larger in steps by shedding the hard exoskeleton for a
brief period of expansion. The brief periods between or
within stages are called molts. Insects are soft-bodied
and vulnerable during this time.
