It is a complex network of interconnected entities, or \"things\", in the military domain that continually communicate with each other to coordinate, learn, and interact with the physical environment to accomplish a broad range of activities in a more efficient and informed manner. The concept of IoMT is largely driven by the idea that future military battles will be dominated by machine intelligence and cyber warfare and will likely take place in urban environments. By creating a miniature ecosystem of smart technology capable of distilling sensory information and autonomously governing multiple tasks at once, the IoMT is conceptually designed to offload much of the physical and mental burden that warfighters encounter in a combat setting. Over time, several different terms have been introduced to describe the use of IoT technology for reconnaissance, environment surveillance, unmanned warfare and other combat purposes. These terms include the Military Internet of Things (MIoT), the Internet of Battle Things, and the Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT). Overview. The Internet of Military Things encompasses a large range of devices that possess intelligent physical sensing, learning, and actuation capabilities"}, {"text": "through virtual or cyber interfaces that are integrated into systems. These devices include items such as sensors, vehicles, robots, UAVs, human-wearable devices, biometrics, munitions, armor, weapons, and other smart technology. In general, IoMT devices can generally be classified into one of four categories (but the devices are meant to be ubiquitous enough to form a data fabric): In addition to connecting different electronic devices to a unified network, researchers have also suggested the possibility of incorporating inanimate and innocuous objects like plants and rocks into the system by fitting them with sensors that will turn them into information gathering points. Such efforts fall in line with projects related to the development of electronic plants, or e-Plants. Proposed examples of IoMT applications include tactical reconnaissance, smart management of resources, logistics support (i.e. equipment and supply tracking), smart city monitoring, and data warfare. Several nations, as well as NATO officials, have expressed Interest in the potential military benefits of IoT technology. History. Advancements in IoMT technology largely stemmed from military efforts to bolster the development of sensor networks and low-power computing platforms during the 1960s for defense applications. During the Cold War, the U.S. military pioneered the use of wireless sensor network"}, {"text": "technologies to detect and track Soviet submarines. One example was the Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS), a network of underwater acoustic sensors, i.e. hydrophones, placed throughout the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to act as underwater listening posts for above-ground facilities. Much of the sensor and networking technologies that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) developed during this time period ultimately served as the foundation for modern IoT systems. Critically, the DoD helped set the stage for future IoT research in the late 1960s with the creation of ARPANET, an early precursor to the Internet that geographically dispersed military scientists used to share data. In the 1980s, the Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA) formally partnered with academic researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Carnegie Mellon University to further develop distributed, wireless sensor networks. From there, research into wireless sensor technologies spread throughout the civilian research community and eventually found use for industrial applications such as power distribution, wastewater treatment, and factory automation. During this time period, the DoD also invested heavily in the miniaturization of integrated circuits in order to embed various objects with tiny computer chips. As a result of their funding, the commercial microelectronics industry was able"}, {"text": "to recover when it faced potential decline at the time. By the late 1990s, the Department of Defense had announced plans for \u201cnetwork-centric\u201d warfare that integrated the physical, information, and cognitive domains to enhance information sharing and collaboration. Examples of projects guided by this goal include the Nett Warrior (formerly known as the Ground Soldier System or Mounted Soldier System) and the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below communication platform, both of which were prevalent in the early 2000s. However, interest in IoT research in the military started to wane as commercial industry surged ahead with new technology. While DoD continued research into advanced sensors, intelligent information processing systems, and communication networks, few military systems have taken full advantage of the IoT stack such as networked sensors and automated-response technology largely due to security concerns. As of 2019, research in modern IoT technology within the military started to regain a considerable amount of support from the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force. Programs. Several initiatives were formed by the Department of Defense in order to bolster IoT research in the military domain as well as to reduce the current gap in progress between military and industry applications. The Connected"}, {"text": "Soldier. The Connected Soldier project was a research initiative supported by the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC) that focused on creating intelligent body gear. The project aimed to establish an internet of things for each soldier by integrating wideband radio, biosensors, and smart wearable systems as standard equipment. These devices served not only to monitor the soldier's physiological status but also to communicate mission data, surveillance intelligence, and other important information to nearby military vehicles, aircraft, and other troops. Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT). In 2016, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) created the Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT) project in response to the U.S. Army's operational outline for 2020 to 2040, titled \u201cWinning in a Complex World.\u201d In the outline, the Department of Defense announced its goals to keep up with the technological advances of potential adversaries by turning its attention away from low-tech wars and instead focusing on combat in more urban areas. Acting as a detailed blueprint for what ARL suspected future warfare may entail, the IoBT project pushed for better integration of IoT technology in military operations in order to better prepare for techniques such as electronic warfare that may lie"}, {"text": "ahead. In 2017, ARL established the Internet of Battlefield Things Collaborative Research Alliance (IoBT-CRA) to bring together industry, university, and government researchers to advance the theoretical foundations of IoBT systems. According to ARL, the IoBT was primarily designed to interact with the surrounding environment by acquiring information about the environment, acting upon it, and continually learning from these interactions. As a consequence, research efforts focused on sensing, actuation, and learning challenges. In order for the IoBT to function as intended, the following prerequisite conditions must first be met in regard to technological capability, structural organization, and military implementation. Communication. All entities in the IoBT must be able to properly communicate information to one another even with differences in architectural design and makeup. While future commercial internet of things may exhibit a lack of uniform standards across different brands and manufacturers, entities in IoBT must remain compatible despite displaying extreme heterogeneity. In other words, all electronic equipment, technology, or other commercial offerings accessed by military personnel must share the same language or at least have \u201ctranslators\u201d that make the transfer and processing of different types of information possible. In addition, the IoBT must be capable of temporarily incorporating available networked devices"}, {"text": "and channels that it does not own for its own use, especially if doing so is advantageous to the system (e.g. making use of existing civilian networking infrastructure in military operations in a megacity). At the same time, the IoBT must take into consideration the varying degree of trustworthiness of all the networks it leverages. Timing will be critical in the success of IoBT. The speed of communication, computation, machine learning, inference, and actuation between entities are vital to many mission tasks, as the system must know which type of information to prioritize. Scalability will also serve as an important factor in the operation since the network must be flexible enough to function at any size. Learning. The success of the IoBT framework often hinges on the effectiveness of the mutual collaboration between the human agents and the electronic entities in the network. In a tactical environment, the electronic entities will be tasked with a wide range of objectives from collecting information to executing cyber actions against enemy systems. In order for these technologies to perform those functions effectively, they must be able to not only ascertain the goals of the human agents as they change but also demonstrate a"}, {"text": "significant level of autonomous self-organization to adjust to the rapidly changing environment. Unlike commercial network infrastructures, the adoption of IoT in the military domain must take into consideration the extreme likelihood that the environment may be intentionally hostile or unstable, which will require a high degree of intelligence to navigate. As a result, the IoBT technology must be capable of incorporating predictive intelligence, machine learning, and neural network in order to understand the intent of the human users and determine how to fulfill that intent without the process of micromanaging each and every component of the system. According to ARL, maintaining information dominance will rely on the development of autonomous systems that can operate outside its current state of total dependence on human control. A key focus of IoBT research is the advancement of machine learning algorithms to provide the network with decision-making autonomy. Rather than having one system at the core of the network functioning as the central intelligence component dictating the actions of the network, the IoBT will have intelligence distributed throughout the network. Therefore, individual components can learn, adapt, and interact with each other locally as well as update behaviors and characteristics automatically and dynamically on a"}, {"text": "global scale to suit the operation as the landscape of warfare constantly evolves. In the context of IoT, the incorporation of artificial intelligence into the sheer volume of data and entities involved in the network will provide an almost infinite number of possibilities for behavior and technological capability in the real world. In a tactical environment, the IoBT must be able to perform various types of learning behaviors to adapt to the rapidly changing conditions. One area that received considerable attention is the concept of meta-learning, which strives to determine how machines can learn how to learn. Having such a skill would allow the system to avoid fixating on pretrained absolute notions on how it should perceive and act whenever it enters a new environment. Uncertainty quantification models have also generated interest in IoBT research since the system's ability to determine its level of confidence in its own predictions based on its machine learning algorithms may provide some much needed context whenever important tactical decisions need to be made. The IoBT should also demonstrate a sophisticated level of situation awareness and artificial intelligence that will allow the system to autonomously perform work based on limited information. A primary goal is"}, {"text": "to teach the network how to correctly infer the complete picture of a situation while measuring relatively few variables. As a result, the system must be capable of integrating the vast amount and variety of data that it regularly collects into its collective intelligence while functioning in a continuous state of learning at multiple time scales, simultaneously learning from past actions while acting in the present and anticipating future events. The network must also account for unforeseen circumstances, errors, or breakdowns and be able to reconfigure its resources to recover at least a limited level of functionality. However, some components must be prioritized and structured to be more resilient to failure than others. For instance, networks that carry important information such as medical data must never be at risk of shutdown. Cognitive Accessibility. For semi-autonomous components, the human cognitive bandwidth serves as a notable constraint for the IoBT due to its limitations in processing and deciphering the flood of information generated by the other entities in the network. In order to obtain truly useful information in a tactical environment, semi-autonomous IoBT technologies must collect an unprecedented volume of data of immense complexity in levels of abstraction, trustworthiness, value, and other"}, {"text": "attributes. Due to serious limitations in human mental capacity, attention, and time, the network must be able to easily reduce and transform large flows of information produced and delivered by the IoBT into reasonably sized packets of essential information that is significantly relevant to army personnel, such as signals or warnings that pertain to their current situation and mission. A key risk of IoBT is the possibility that devices could communicate negligibly useful information that eats up the human's valuable time and attention or even propagate inappropriate information that misleads human individuals into performing actions that lead to adverse or unfavorable outcomes. At the same time, the system will stagnate if the human entities doubt the accuracy of the information provided by the IoBT technology. As a result, the IoBT must operate in a manner that is extremely convenient and easy to understand to the humans without compromising the quality of the information it provides them. Mosaic Warfare.

Designed to emulate the adaptable nature of the lego blocks and mosaic art form, Mosaic Warfare was promoted as a strategy to confuse and overwhelm adversary forces by deploying low-cost adaptable technological expendable weapon systems that can play multiple roles and coordinate actions with one another, complicating the decision-making process for the enemy. This method of warfare arose as a response to the current monolithic system in the military, which relies on a centralized command-and-control structure fraught with vulnerable single-point communications and the development of a few highly capable systems that are too important to risk losing in combat. The concept of Mosaic Warfare existed within DARPA since 2017 and contributed to the development of various technology programs such as the System of Systems Integration Technology and Experimentation (SoSIT), which led to the development of a network system that allows previously disjointed ground stations and platforms to transmit and translate data between one another.

In 2017, DARPA announced the creation of a new program called the Ocean of Things, which planned to apply IoT technology on a grand scale in order to establish a"}, {"text": "persistent maritime situational awareness over large ocean areas. According to the announcement, the project would involve the deployment of thousands of small, commercially available floats. Each float would contain a suite of sensors that collect environmental data\u2014like sea surface temperature and sea state\u2014and activity data, such as the movement of commercial vessels and aircraft. All the data collected from these floats would then be transmitted periodically to a cloud network for storage and real-time analysis. Through this approach, DARPA aimed to create an extensive sensor network that can autonomously detect, track, and identify both military, commercial, and civilian vessels as well as indicators of other maritime activity. The Ocean of Things project focused primarily on the design of the sensor floats and the analytic techniques that would be involved in organizing and interpreting the incoming data as its two main objectives. For the float design, the vessel had to be able to withstand the harsh ocean conditions for at least a year while being made out of commercially available components that cost less than $500 each in total.

In regards to the data analytics, the project concentrated on developing cloud-based software that could collect, process, and transmit data about the environment and their own condition using a dynamic display. Security concerns. One of the largest potential dangers of IoMT technology is the risk of both adversarial threats and system failures that could compromise the entire network. Since the crux of the IoMT concept is to have every component of the network\u2014sensors, actuators, software, and other electronic devices\u2014connected together to collect and exchange data, poorly protected IoT devices are vulnerable to attacks which may expose large amounts of confidential information. Furthermore, a compromised IoMT network is capable of causing serious, irreparable damage in the form of corrupted software, disinformation, and leaked intelligence. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, security remains a top priority in IoT research. The IoMT must be able to foresee, avoid, and recover from attempts by adversary forces to attack, impair, hijack, manipulate, or destroy the network and the information that it holds. The use of jamming devices, electronic eavesdropping, or cyber malware may pose a serious risk to the"}, {"text": "confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information within the network. Furthermore, the human entities may also be targeted by disinformation campaigns in order to foster distrust in certain elements of the IoMT. Since IoMT technology may be used in an adversarial setting, researchers must account for the possibility that a large number of sources may become compromised to the point where threat-assessing algorithms may use some of those compromised sources to falsely corroborate the veracity of potentially malicious entities. Minimizing the risks associated with IoT devices will likely require a large-scale effort by the network to maintain impenetrable cybersecurity defenses as well as employ counterintelligence measures that thwart, subvert, or deter potential threats. Examples of possible strategies include the use of \u201cdisposable\u201d security, where devices that are believed to be potentially compromised by the enemy are simply discarded or disconnected from the IoMT, and honeynets that mislead enemy eavesdroppers. Since adversary forces are expected to adapt and evolve their strategies for infiltrating the IoMT, the network must also undergo a continuous learning process that autonomously improves anomaly detection, pattern monitoring, and other defensive mechanisms. Secure data storage serves as one of the key points of interest for IoMT research.

With the expansion of the hamlet of Preston into a suburb of Paignton during the late 19th-century and early 20th-century, a mission room was first established around 1904. A temporary church dedicated to St Paul was then erected in 1909 as a chapel of ease to Christ Church, with accommodation for 200 persons. As additional church accommodation was soon required, a second temporary church was erected adjacent to the other in 1912, with accommodation for 350 people. By 1937, the parish of Christ Church had a population of over 8,000, which was forecast to increase in the following years. With support from the Christ Church Parochial Church Council and the Bishop of Exeter, Rev. A. Harrington, the vicar of Christ Church, launched an appeal to raise \u00a310,000 for a new, permanent church to be built. \u00a34,600 had already been raised over previous years towards such a building.

An IEO is the process of digital asset (e.g. coins or tokens) procurement through an established exchange for the purpose of raising capital for start-up companies.

IEO's allow for startups to participate in large scale investments opportunities with the introduction of their business to a large investment ecosystem.

Following the major rise of IEO's in 2019 many regulatory agencies have not created legal restrictions. The Securities and Exchange Committee commented on IEO's stating:\"Be cautious if considering an investment in an IEO\". \"Claims of new technologies and financial products, such as those associated with digital asset offerings, and claims that IEOs are vetted by trading platforms, can be used improperly to entice investors with the false promise of high returns in a new investment space.

Several online trading platforms mislead investors into believing that they are registered or meet any of the regulatory requirements for a national securities exchange or an ATS, and so do not provide investors with the investor protections that such exchanges or ATSs provide. By failing to comply with federal securities laws, an IEO and/or trading platform may be operating unlawfully and may not be offering the investors and market protections and remedies these laws are designed to provide. Consider carefully whether the trading platform and the company involved in the IEO have complied with federal securities laws. Red flags.

During the boom of 2017-2018, ICOs on Ethereum were held daily, resulting in many projects raising millions of dollars, although there were also many dubious and fraudulent offerings on the market. Since ICOs could not be verified, the more reliable concept of IEO gradually emerged based on them. In addition, many ICOs were later found to violate U.S. securities laws, which led to various lawsuits and refunds to investors. There are much greater risks involved in participating in an ICO.

Fragione was born in Hartford, Connecticut into a community composed chiefly of Sicilian immigrant families. She grew up in a large multigenerational household; raised by a mother from Turin, Italy and a father from Sicily, she has credited her upbringing for developing an appreciation for the religious culture, symbols, and landscapes of Southern Italy. Fragione's career in the arts began as a contemporary dancer with P.

Her work has been exhibited over the US and Italy in numerous independent galleries, as well as in public institutions like the Textile Museum and the Katzen Art Center. Style and influences.

The content of the tractate primarily deals with the legal provisions related to halakhic engagement and marriage. In Jewish law, an engagement (\"kiddushin\") is a contract between a man and a woman where they mutually promise to marry each other, and the terms on which it shall take place. The promise may be made by the intending parties or by their respective parents or other relatives on their behalf. Structure. Kiddushin consists of 4 chapters. It has 46 mishnahs and 82 pages gemara. It is included in both Talmuds. According to Sherira Gaon in his letter, the first sugya (literary unit) in the Babylonian Talmud of Kiddushin is a Saboraic or Geonic addition and was not written by Amoraim like the rest of the Talmud. The sugya focuses on stylistic and grammatical issues that bear no halachic or aggadic implications.

Also The Torah warns that Jewish soldiers should not take a non Jewish female captive as a wife because the son from such a relationship will revolt against his father-as happened to King David and his son Prince Absalom. In Halakha marriage between a Jew and a gentile is both prohibited, and also void under Jewish law. All branches of Orthodox Judaism follow the historic Jewish attitudes to intermarriage, and therefore refuse to accept that intermarriages would have any validity or legitimacy, and strictly forbid sexual intercourse with a member of a different faith. Orthodox rabbis refuse to officiate at interfaith weddings, and also try to avoid assisting them in other ways.

Some Orthodox families will sit shiva (Mourning) for someone who has married outside the faith because unless to prevent assimilation both the father and the mother teach both their sons and daughters to accept the Iron Yoke of the Torah, the chances are not good the child will be raised in the Jewish faith; hence the sitting of Shiva is mourning for successive generations of children who will not be raised Jewish.

It is an invasive fruit fly that originated in Africa, but can also be found in Europe and Asia. The fly earned its common name, the \"vinegar fly\", because researchers frequently captured the species using vinegar traps. \"Z. tuberculatus\" was previously considered a strictly tropical fly, but evidence of invasion to nontropical regions such as Turkey has been shown. This fly typically resides on rotting fruit, and the larvae have been found to develop on 49 species of fruits. The life cycle of the fly depends on the temperature of the environment as males are sterile at or above 30 degrees Celsius. It is reddish-brick colored and contains four longitudinal stripes down its head and body. The courtship behavior includes song singing and complex dance rituals. In regard to other organisms, \"Z. tuberculatus\" is considered a secondary pest to fruit and a potential threat to ecosystems it invades. A close relative, \"Z. indianus\" is an invasive fly species that infests fig orchards. Taxonomy. \"Zaprionus tuberculatus\" was first discriminated from its close relative \"Z. sepsoides\""}, {"text": "in the 1970s. \"Z. tuberculatus\" has recently classified as a member of the \"Tuberculatus\" species subgroup and is a member of the \"inermis\" species group. Previously, \"Z. tuberculatus\" was classified as a member of the armatus group. The genus \"Zaprionus\" if primarily found throughout Africa and contains 59 species, the most common of which being \"Z. indianus\" and \"Z. tuberculatus\". The 59 species of the genus \"Zaprionus\" are divided into two subgroups: Afrotropical \"Zaprionus\" sensu stricto (s.s.), to which \"Z. tuberculatus\" belongs, and \"Anaprionus\" near Asia and Australia. Within the Zaprionus sensu stricto (s.s.) subgenus are several further subgroups, including the \"armatus\" subgroup to which \"Z. tuberculatus\" belonged until 2010. Description. \"Zaprionus tuberculatus\" contains four white horizontal stripes across its head and thorax, similar to other members of the \"Zaprionus\" subgroup. The males bear hairs on its forelegs. Both male and female flies have a protruding bristle from the forefemur. The frons have a medium-white stripe and the aedeagus is robust and curved and they have a dark-brown colored thorax. Two white, aligned, horizontal lines characterize the mesonotum and metanotum. \"Z. tuberculatus\" shares several common features with other members of the genus \"Zaprionus\", including a completely smooth larval cephalopharyngeal. Reproductive"}, {"text": "system. Between individual flies, siblings are distinguished by testicular size (TST), for which the mean is 3.2mm. The average seminal recepaical (SR) of a female fly is 3.6mm. Distribution. \"Zaprionus tuberculatus\", originally from islands near the Indian Ocean and Afrotropical Region, then became invasive and expanded geographically to southern Europe. Within the Afrotropical region, the species has been reported in Mauritius, R\u00e9union, Madagascar, Saint-Helena, Cape Verde, and Seychelles . The species had first been reported in Europe in Italy September, 2013. \"Z. tuberculatus\" has also been reported in North Africa, Malta, Cyprus, and the Canary Islands. \"Z. tuberculatus\" was trapped in Eastern Europe in Southern Romania between September and October 2014. \"Z. tuberculatus\" has been reported in a few other areas of Europe, including Spain, Greece, and Northern Italy. \"Z. tuberculatus\" has also been reported in Asian regions, including Israel and southern Turkey. Habitat. \"Zaprionus tuberculatus\" typically reside on rotting fruit and has been captured via the use of vinegar traps, which earned the species its nickname \"vinegar fly.\" The fly does not thrive in strictly tropical environments. Ecology. \"Zaprionus tuberculatus\" is an invasive species, meaning its spread from one geographical region to other may harm to existing ecosystems. Life"}, {"text": "cycle. \"Zaprionus tuberculatus\" life cycle varies depending on the temperature of the environment. \"Zaprionus\" t\"uberculatus\" males are sterile at or above 30 degrees Celsius. The mean \"Z. tuberculatus\" female life span varies from about 40 days to 60 days, whereas the mean male lifespan varies from about 50 to 200 days when temperature is varied. Egg. The eggs of \"Z. tuberculatus\" have four filaments, with the posterior filaments being elongated more than the anterior filaments and are spatulated. The lengths of these filaments vary within species. Larvae. The larvae of \"Z. tuberculatus\" generally grows on over-ripe fruits and has been found to develop on 49 species of fruits. Similar to other drosophilids, the larvae of \"Z. tuberculatus\" have a respiratory system containing thoracic and anterior spiracles on either side of the body, which is a systems organization referred to as amphipneustic. Puparium. The pupae of \"Z. tuberculatus\" have a brick red color. The anterior branches belonging to \"Z. tuberculatus\" are clubbed type and vary in number from 11 to 14. The puparial shape (Puparial length:PI) of \"Z. tuberculatus\" is 2.59. Puparial shape is an important measurement because it distinguishes \"Z. tuberculatus\" from several closely related fly species, including \"Z. inermis\""}, {"text": "(puparial shape =2.62), \"Z. cercus\" (puparial shape =2.40), and \"Z. burlai\" (puparial shape = 2.29).

Unlike other species of \"Drosophila\" such as \"D. melanogaster\", for \"Z. tuberculatus\" pupae synapsis is uncommon and tend to pupariate upwards relate to the ground instead of downwards. However, \"Z. tuberculatus\" pupae strongly aggregate similar to other \"Drosophila\" species. Behavior. Laboratory behavior. \"Zaprionus tuberculatus\" pupae are difficult to study experimentally because, when space in culture bottles become limited, pupae climb upwards to escape from the bottle and later die. This is true for all species of the genus \"Zaprionus\", except \"Zaprionus lachaisei\". Pupation site selection. Though kin selection theory predicts \"Z. tuberculatus\" pupae should be more likely to aggregate in an intraspecific manner than interspecifically, \"Z. tuberculatus\" does not kin discriminate in site selection. Species recognition. \"Type 2\" songs are sung between two male \"Z. tuberculatus\" flies and its function is species recognition. Mating. Male courtship behavior. The male \"Z. tuberculatus\" generally makes the first contact with the female \"Z. tuberculatus\" by grappling at the female,"}, {"text": "performing mating displays, then auditory display (song singing). The male performs stationary displays from the female \"Z. tuberculatus\" rear end at degrees of 90, 180, or 135 along the long axis of the female body. Still while singing, the male \"Z. tuberculatus\" then moves radially around the female in a quarter circle. From a further distance from the female compared to the circling display, the male \"Z. tuberculatus\" also performs a dancing which interrupts periods of singing or occurs after singing, but never before. Immediately preceding copulation, then for a second time at the beginning of copulation the male \"Z. tuberculatus\" also rubs his legs against the abdomen of the female \"Z. tuberculatus\". The average length of \"Z. tuberculatus\" copulation is about 2.25 minutes. Male songs. Male \"Z. tuberculatus\" produces two types of songs by vibrating its wings to generate audio. The two song types are designated either \"type 1,\" which is involved in male courtship, or \"type 2,\" which is used for species recognition both in male and female \"Z. tuberculatus\" flies. When one male mounts another, both males sing, possibly to recognize sex or intimidation tactic to deter other males from attempting to mate with the female \"Z."}, {"text": "tuberculatus\" flies. Female courtship behavior. At the conclusion of copulation, female \"Z. tuberculatus\" protrudes the abdomen and secreted a colorless liquid, which appears to repulse the male \"Z. tuberculatus\". The chemical composition of the colorless liquid has not been studied. Genetics. The \"Z. tuberculatus\" genome has five rod-shaped chromosomes and one dot-shaped chromosome. The number of type of chromosomes, or the karyotype, for \"Z. tuberculatus\" has not changed much throughout evolution, which supports Muller's linkage conservation hypothesis and explains the scarcity of pericentric inversions and translocations. The transposable element \"mariner\" occurs in several species, including the \"Melanogaster\" species and in the genus \"Zaprionus\". The presence of \"mariner\" in the \"Z. tuberculatus\" occurs through horizontal transfer. \"Mariner\" is also present in several members of the \"melanogaster\" species subgroup. The rate of divergence of the \"mariner\" element between the two species subgroups suggests a slower evolution rate of the \"mariner\" transposable element. A slowing \"mariner\" mutation rate helps to explain low divergence in the \"melanogaster\" species subgroup, but fails to account for reduced divergence in Z. tuberculatus.

Throughout her life von P\u00f6llnitz had a lung condition that progressively worsened after being arrested several times by the Gestapo. On her final arrest by the Gestapo she contracted tuberculosis after 5 months in custody. Her physician Elfriede Paul arranged a sanitarium in Switzerland, but she never recovered. Life. Von P\u00f6llnitz was a diplomat's daughter and a member of the Young Communist League of Germany (KJVD) in Hamburg prior to 1933. Because of her aristocratic background and extensive travel experience, she was not taken seriously by her peers in the communist group. In November 1933 she was arrested by the Gestapo, interrogated for being a communist and badly beaten. When she hit back, she was imprisoned for two months in the Fuhlsb\u00fcttel prison.

In the mid-1930s, with the assistance of her distant cousin Libertas Schulze-Boysen, she found a job as a short-hand typist at the news agency United Press.

It was an action from \"Special Staff W\", an organisation established by Luftwaffe general Helmuth Wilberg to study and analyse the tactical lessons learned by the \"Legion Kondor\" during the Spanish Civil War. The \"Special Staff W\" unit also directed the German support operations that consisted of volunteers, weapons and ammunition for General Francisco Franco's FET y de las JONS Party. The information that Schulze-Boysen collected included details about German transports, deployment of units and companies involved in the German defense.

The two sides' three previous meetings that season had seen one win apiece and one draw. Dundalk had finished fourth in the League, and had just missed out on the League of Ireland Shield, finishing as runners-up. To reach the final, they had defeated non-League Distillery (2\u20131), Shelbourne (2\u20131), and Shamrock Rovers (2\u20131 in a replay following a 2\u20132 draw). They had lost their three previous appearances in FAI Cup finals. Cork United had already won that season's League of Ireland title, and were chasing a second League and Cup Double in a row, having only been founded in 1940. They had defeated Dundalk in the semi-final on the way to winning the FAI Cup the season before.

The goal brought an immediate response from Dundalk, who equalised through Arthur Kelly inside two minutes. In the 70th minute Kelly scored his second with a shot from the edge of the penalty area and, with Cork fading, Johnny Lavery made it 3\u20131 to Dundalk with eight minutes remaining to seal Dundalk's first FAI Cup win. The victory ended what many had come to see as a jinx - that Dundalk would never win the cup, given the number of final and semi-final defeats the club had suffered, and an excited pitch invasion delayed the trophy presentation.

The author of the lyrics and the composer of the music are unknown. The first known publication of the song's current version was in 1928 in the \"Oxford Book of Carols\"; however, earlier versions of the song had been published, including, but not limited to, publications in 1838, 1857, and 1868 by William Chappell, Robert Bell, and William Henry Husk respectively. Husk's 1868 publication contained a reference to it being sung by wassailers in the 1790s in Gloucestershire. \"Gloucestershire Wassail\" has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 209. History. The song was sung in parts of England during the days of wassailing. This historical setting and the nature of its lyrics make it similar to carols such as \"Here We Come A-wassailing\".

Vaughan Williams published the tune and these lyrics in 1913. However, for the 1928 \"Oxford\" publication, he used different lyrics; the ones commonly sung today. These lyrics he largely got from renowned folk music revivalist Cecil J. Sharp, as well as some from nineteenth century printed sources. Sharp's collection of lyrics were published in his 1916 book \"English Folk Songs, Collected and Arranged with Pianoforte Accompaniment by Cecil J. Sharp\". In the book, Sharp wrote: The first six stanzas in the text are those that Mr. [William] Bayliss [of Buckland] gave me; they are printed without any alteration. The last three stanzas are from a variant sung to me by Mr. Isaac Bennett of Little Sodbury (Gloucestershire). The words are very similar to, but not identical with, those of \"The Gloucestershire Wassailer's Song\" quoted by [Robert] Bell (Ballads and Songs of the Peasantry of England, p. 183).

The American musical group Mannheim Steamroller did an instrumental cover of the song titled \"Wassail, Wassail\" on their 1984 album \"Christmas\".

In Australia, the term \"to bushwhack\" most commonly means to make one's way through the scrub or forest (\"the bush\") by \"whacking\" (cutting) a trail where none currently exists; a \"bushwhacker\" therefore means either such a traveller, or more generally, either a person who lives in such country, that is, off the \"beaten track\" (a phrase of similar derivation), or simply a resident of the countryside in general (by implication, an unsophisticated person, similar to the U.S. term \"hillbilly\") as opposed to a resident of the city or the suburbs. It seems likely that, at least at first, the group name was intended to be ironic, since Heathcote, although indeed a rural / \"bush\" area at that time, was basically a retreat for escapees from city life in search of a more rural lifestyle, who were attracted by cheap land for sale there while still with regular rail links to Sydney.

In its initial lineup, the group's instrumentation was button accordion and tin whistle (played by Meredith), \"bush bass\" or tea chest bass played by Barrie (actually not a traditional \"bush\" instrument at all, but one previously played by sailors and \"wharfies\"), while Loughlin played the lagerphone, a home-made percussion instrument constructed by loosely nailing bottle tops to a broom handle to make a rattling sound when struck upon the floor, this example being constructed and named by Meredith's brother Claude and copied from something he had seen played by \"an old rabbitter\".

In 1954 the Bushwhackers, along with other folklore enthusiasts, established the Sydney Bush Music Club to encourage members of the Club and the general public to learn about and perform Australian folk and traditional music; an additional reason was to deflect more requests from interested parties to join the band, instead encouraging them to perform at the club and/or form their own groups.

However, \"P. tricuspis\" is very specific to its host ant and will not attack other native ant species, making it a good biological control against the fire ant. \"P. tricuspis\" was introduced into the United States for this purpose, and the species \"P. tricuspis\" is now also been found in South America, Europe, and Asia.

The ovipositor, which is the organ that is used by the female to lay eggs, looks different in each species within the \"Pseudacteon\" genus and can be used to distinguish the species from one another. Distribution. \"Pseudacteon tricuspis\" is widely distributed around Argentina, Brazil, and other parts of South America, Europe, and Asia. About two dozen species of the genus parasitize native fire ants in South America. Since its introduction to the United States, the species can be found across the country, but is concentrated along the south east parts, including Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Habitat. \"Pseudacteon tricuspis\" is predominantly found within the natural range of where the host \"Solenopsis invicta\" fire ant can be found.

Development time from egg deposition to mature adult is 5 to 12 weeks, depending on temperature (with increased longevity at lower temperatures). Sex determination is dependent on the size of the host ant that the egg is deposited within. The female flies have a greater average fitness if they are using larger host fire ants. However, the exact mechanism of how this sex determination occurs is unknown. Egg. The eggs of the fly are approximately 130 \u03bcm long by 20 \u03bcm wide. They have the shape of a torpedo and are injected into the thorax of the worker fire ant by the mother. The egg usually takes around 4\u20135 days to finish embryonic development and hatch. Larvae. The fly hatches from the egg in the first instar and will usually shed their serosa within 24 hours, although the process has been recorded to last up to 20 days.

Pupal development takes around 2\u20136 weeks, dependent on temperature. Adult. When the adult fly is fully grown, emergence from the host fly takes only a few seconds in total, and the adult is ready to mate and lay eggs within the next few hours. The adult lifespan is only 3 to 5 days. Food resources. The flies use fire ants' semiochemicals to locate the fire ant species \"Solenopsis invicta\" and can do so from up to 50 meters away. While other species within the \"Pseudacteon\" genus have been found to be generalists and feed on a wide range of resources, in the field the \"P. tricuspis\" fly will only feed on its host. However, research in laboratories"}, {"text": "has found that feeding the fly sugar has a significant effect on increasing the lifespan of the fly, with longevity increasing by a factor of 2 to 3. In the field, the parasitoids could potentially obtain sugar from nectar or honeydew, but provision of supplemental sugar sources around release sites of the fly may improve the success rate of the fly as a control for the fire ant. Mating. Males have a long sensilla subtype within their antennae that is absent in the females. While its purpose is not completely clear, it is thought to detect female odors, such as sex pheromones, during mate search. Both sexes are also attracted to the odor of the host fire ant and mating occurs while the females are looking for suitable hosts. Females will track the movement and the behavior of the fire ant hosts while males will hover and spin around in the air looking for females. After locating one, the male will grab onto the female, and copulation takes less than a second. During this process, neither sex is able to keep flying, causing both to drop to the ground.

The female \"P. tricuspis\" may produce from 100 to 300 eggs during its short mating time, but will only insert a single egg into each worker ant. Sexual dimorphism. The species has sexual dimorphism, with the females being much larger than the males. This is likely occurs because of the females being aggressive and fighting with other females over depositing their own eggs within a host. The females fight over the larger host ants to deposit their eggs in as these eggs will have a larger chance of survival. Larger females will most likely win these fights, leading to females growing larger than males. Sex ratio. The species typically has a sex ratio that is biased towards males (usually in a 2:1 ratio). This is attributed to the relative size of the host ants, which happen to have more large individuals than smaller individuals. There is a lower number of hosts that can support the development of female flies, making the female sex rarer.

The fly will avoid attempting to oviposit in the alates of the colony and will instead exclusively attack worker ants. Successful egg deposition only occurs around 8-35% of the time. Activity. The daily activity of the \"P. tricuspis\" fly starts very low in the early morning, increases gradually, then peaks at midday. Maximum male emergence has been seen to occur around one hour before maximum female emergence. In terms of seasonal activity, the fly population is seen throughout the year, but is highest in the fall and summer and lowest in the winter and spring. This correlates to a density dependent response to the availability of the fire ant host, which is greater in the fall due to the frequent rainfall.

It was discovered by Robineau-Desvoidy in 1830. It resembles a small flying ant. The fly is most commonly found inhabiting cow dung. \"Sepsis thoracica\" shows positive directional selection in body size that corresponds with negative selection of melanism. In addition, body size and coloration are coupled via gene regulation. A hypothesized mechanism is through the enzyme phenoloxidase. Description. \"Sepsis thoracica\" is a relatively small fly (often described as ant-like), averaging 5 mm in length and 0.75 mm in width. They have a rounded head with compound eyes. The last segment of the body contains short, silver hair. Their wings are mostly transparent with dark spots towards the ends. The developmental temperature influences their body size, in accordance with the temperature-size rule. Females are completely black and smaller than males. Male polymorphism. Males can be either black or amber, a coloration that is usually only observed in more tropical species. \"S. thoracica\" is the only fly of the genus \"Sepsis\" to exhibit this male polymorphism in relation to size. While males can be a spectrum of colors between black"}, {"text": "and amber, most are usually one of the extremes. Thermal radiation, which is the long-waves emitted by the atmosphere, is important in the development of \"S. thoracica\" because the Distribution. \"Sepsis thoracica\" has a wide distribution. It is mainly found in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom, extending as far north as Denmark and southern Sweden. It is also in Afrotropical and Australasian regions. It has most recently been found in Vietnam and South Korea. It is mostly dispersed near the coasts and at high elevations in mountain ranges. Habitat. \"Sepsis thoracica\" is a dung fly and prefers cow dung and buffalo dung, especially in human-managed agricultural grasslands. However, the flies typically avoid horse dung. They are a tropical and subtropical species that are extremely heliophilic, or attracted to sun. They are most active between the months of July and October. Life history. Females deposit their eggs into the dung. The larvae are not able to escape this during development and thus the flies only leave when they are adults. The larvae are amphipneustic, meaning that both their first and last spiracles are functional. The two spiracle pairs of the respiratory system are on the prothorax and the posterior of"}, {"text": "the abdomen. The developmental time of the larvae is four days and five hours, optimally at a temperature of 26-28 \u00b0C. In cow dung, 15\u201322 days marks the total developmental time. These flies enter dormancy in response to dropping temperatures. Food resources. They spend a considerable amount of their life foraging for nectar and their insect prey, \"Sc. stercoraria\". They feed on dung for protein and nectar for carbohydrates. While they are found to mostly feed on cow dung, they have been shown to feed on horse dung if it is available in their area. The competitor density they face largely depends on the amount of eggs laid in the dung pat from which they emerged. They don\u2019t face much outside species competition. Mating. Sexual selection. \"Sepsis thoracica\" has shown a strong, positive directional selection on body size that coincides with a strong negative selection of melanism. The dichotomous coloration is thought to have evolved as a way to indicate their size and fitness. The purity of amber color relating to size was most likely maintained due to the cost it retains from reduced immunity. This causes a trait threshold, where only the largest individuals in a competitive environment can"}, {"text": "afford to be amber. The larger, amber-colored males are favored by females over the small, black males. However, black males have greater success than mid-sized, mid-toned males. Mating practices do not differ between males of different colors, but reproductive fitness is higher in the larger, amber males, Copulation. \"Sepsis thoracica\" does not exhibit any pre or post-copulatory guarding in Europe, but it does have pre-copulatory guarding in more tropical areas, such as Zimbabwe. This mating behavior occurred on the dung pat, with males scrambling and competing for the exceedingly rare single females. Male rejection and struggle behavior does occur. When a mate is found, copulations take place in the nearby vegetation. \"S. thoracica\" has relatively long copulation and guarding durations, similar to \"S. cynipsea.\" Enemies. \"Sepsis thoracica\" faces mostly generalist predators in their pastoral habitat. Vertebrates include birds, \"Lacerta\" lizards, and amphibians when close enough to ponds. The main predators are terrestrial invertebrates, like spiders and insects, primarily other flies and wasps. When dealing with vertebrate predators, black \"S. thoracica\" have a greater advantage over amber-colored flies. When encountering an invertebrate predator, being larger is more advantageous than being black. Since \"S. thoracica\" is most likely to encounter an invertebrate"}, {"text": "predator, size is the best defense mechanism for \"S. thoracica\". Genetics. Body size and coloration are coupled together, likely via gene regulation. They have been shown to be functionally linked through the enzyme phenoloxidase, which works in the phenoloxidase system. This system is the main immunological defense system of \"S. thoracica\". The reduction in melanin conforms with lower amounts of phenoloxidase, which compromises the immune system. This causes larger, amber individuals to be immunocompromised. This polymorphism is seen in related species such as \"Saltella sphondylii\", implying a more general evolutionary relevance. Physiology. Thermal radiation. Thermal radiation, which is the long-waves emitted by the atmosphere, is important in the development of \"S. thoracica\" because the dung on which the flies eat absorbs most of the short-wave radiation from the sun because of its dark color. This causes the dung to emit long-wave radiation which is absorbed by the flies. The amount of long-wave absorbance does not differ based on the amount of melanism because it\u2019s out of melanin\u2019s spectrum; consequently, absorption relies only on size. Larger individuals thus absorb the most radiation but also have a lower heat-exchange rate with the environment due to its low surface volume ratio. Larger flies"}, {"text": "retain more heat and are more prone to overheating. This can be compensated by lower melanism, which absorbs the short-wave radiation. The reduction in short-wave radiation can negate the effects of the long-wave radiation, allowing both amber and black colored \"S. thoracica\" to have relatively similar temperatures. UV radiation. Protection from UV radiation is also exploited by the dichotomous nature of the males. Black flies have a high amount of melanin, which they use to directly protect itself from UV damage. Amber flies invest in their cuticle, which becomes thicker with increased size. Thus, beyond a threshold, UV radiation will have little to no penetrance. This is an importance defense mechanism since UV radiation can lead to unwanted genetic mutations."}, {"text": "Wayne Goddard (June 9, 1914 \u2013 September 22, 1984) was an American football player and coach.

Haliday in 1838. Their appearance differs greatly from that of other \"Coelopa\" flies. \"C. pilipes\" are especially prevalent in European beaches. Year-round, these flies live in washed-up kelp on wrack zones of beaches before adulthood and consume the decaying kelp, mostly of the genera \"Laminaria\" and \"Fucus\" that have a great impact on the flies' survival. Female flies lay eggs in the decaying seaweed, and larvae mature in the warm, moist environment it provides. \"C. pilipes\" has significant sympatry with \"C. frigida\"; the two flies are often studied together due to their overlapping habitats and distribution. Morphology. In general, seaweed flies are dark-colored, small or medium-sized flies with hairs or bristles. Darker color makes the adults more distinguishable from other species, but larvae are less easily identified. Adults have small eyes and short antennae and legs, and their bodies tend to be more flattened than other species. Environment, genetic factors, and nutrition contribute to variable measurements such as wing size. In order to adapt to wet seaside environments, \"C. pilipes\" larvae have hair on their posterior parts"}, {"text": "and spines on their ventral surfaces, as seen in many species that dwell in damp seaweed. \"Coelopa pilipes\" are phylogenetically distant from other species in the \"Coelopa\" genus and thus display certain behaviors that differ from other \"Coelopa\" flies. Distribution. \"Coelopa pilipes\" can be found in European countries with shorelines, such as Belgium, Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, and Poland. Other reported locations for \"C. pilipes\" residence include North Africa and Australia, where it is not native. Sympatry. In Britain, \"C. pilipes\" populations are always mixed with \"C. frigida\", from adult to larval stages, in varying ratios. These numbers can depend on the season, as is found in northeastern populations in England. Number of nearby \"C. pilipes\" has been observed to affect the population size of sister species \"C. frigida\", and vice versa. \"C. pilipes\" emergence can be greatly affected by the presence of \"C. frigida\", including prolonged development and emergence times. They are generally more numerous than \"C. frigida\" in the summer months. On average, \"C. pilipes\" takes four more days than \"C. frigida\" in order to emerge from pupation as an adult. Habitat.

Piles of seaweed on beaches are especially common after storms and high tides in the spring, both of which are becoming more severe with climate change. Even when the beach is covered in snow and ice, decay of the seaweed can generate temperatures of in the inner layers of seaweed where \"Coelopa\" larvae live. Life history. During the summer, populations of \"C. pilipes\" decrease in number. They are most abundant in the fall and winter, when seaweed is most likely to be washed on the beach. All larval instars remain in the seaweed, and larval aggregations tend to not be mixed in species. If seaweed is washed back to sea, the larval population can decrease significantly with the loss of the seaweed habitat. Pupation begins in drier portions of seaweed, and the development time for \"C. pilipes\" is significantly longer than that of other \"Coelopa\" species such as \"C. frigida\". Adult \"Coelopa\" flies are estimated to live around 2\u20134 weeks, with some variation. Food resources. Larvae of \"C. pilipes\" feed on the same decomposing seaweed their eggs are deposited on. They may also consume bacteria found on the surface of the"}, {"text": "seaweed. If only raised on \"Laminaria\" seaweed, the flies have reduced growth due to a lower nutritious value of seaweed. The \"Fucus\" seaweed that the flies prefer most is prevalent in the North Pacific. The presence of \"Fucus\" can be associated with the number of \"C. pilipes\" flies at a certain site. Mating. Unlike flies that mate seasonally, \"C. pilipes\" is able to mate throughout the year, even during the winter, due to the constant environment of rotting seaweed on beaches. Adults are found to require both \"Fucus\" and \"Laminaria\" genera of seaweed in order to breed, and the presence of seaweed induces oviposition. Male\u2013female interaction. \"Fucus\" kelp has been observed to increase male harassment of females in addition to duration of copulation, showing the direct influence of environment on mating. Harassment rates are directly related to mating struggles. \"C. pilipes\" males increase harassment levels with more prolonged exposure to the seaweed. Unlike other species, female \"C. pilipes\" have been shown to attempt rejection of males based on body size by performing abdominal bends. Willingness to mate can also be affected by the available seaweed types. Females may shake and kick to reject males; however, female resistance reduces as male"}, {"text": "harassment increases due to increased costs of resisting. Parental care. Adult \"C. pilipes\" lay their eggs after seaweed is deposited on the beach, during which initial decay creates a warmer environment on the seaweed. Larvae feed on the seaweed, promoting more decay, which attracts more females to lay their eggs. Females lay eggs singly within the decaying kelp. As a result, larvae are aggregated less densely than other species. Without \"Fucus\" seaweed, females are less likely to lay eggs. Parasites. \"Coelopa pilipes\" flies are prone to parasitism by the mite \"Thinoseiusfucicola\", with males being more susceptible. Genetics. \"Coelopa pilipes\" has 6 total chromosome pairs. 5 have median centromeres, and the remaining one is a dot-shaped pair. The shape of the chromosomes is relatively uniform. Heterochromatin is scattered throughout the chromosomes of \"C. pilipes\" flies, and the localization of sex-controlling genes is unknown, as there is no clear sexual dimorphism. Environmental physiology. Exposure to certain seaweed such as \"Fucus\" has been shown to increase mortality of some kelp fly species; however, virgin \"C. pilipes\" are able to delay this effect.

In a series of papers, Winter and his co-worker Fancois Chambon characterized the time-evolving rheology of polymers during gelation. They discovered that the gel point is marked by power-law relaxation over a wide range of frequencies/time-scales. Depending on the type of gel, the scaling exponent may adopt a value between -1 and 0. This behavior makes it easy to uniquely identify the gel point during both chemical and physical gelation processes. The experimental findings initiated active development of theories for the rheology of gels in the physics community.

The BSW relation provides a convenient starting condition for exploring polymer systems of more diverse molecular architecture. For generating biaxial extension in small samples, Winter invented the technique of lubricated squeeze flow and studied it jointly with Christopher Macosko. This simple technique was the first one to provide reliable step-strain biaxial extension data which is important for accurate modeling of polymer processing operations such as film blowing and blow molding.

These eyestalks play an important role in mate selection and as a result physical characteristic of the fly has been the subject of several studies on sexual selection, natural selection, and mating behavior. Distribution. \"Teleopsis dalmanni\" is found in Malaysia as well as other parts of Southeast Asia. Flies used in studies are usually collected in Malaysia. Habitat. \"Teleopsis dalmanni\" are predominantly found at the edge of forest streams, where their mating rituals occur. They have been observed resting on dried leaves or undergrowth at the water\u2019s edge, and occasionally even on the sand. Life history. As with other Dipterans, \"T. dalmanni\" flies undergo a larval phase before transitioning into adults. There is little information available on the systematics and behavior of the larval stage in \"T. dalmanni\". As holometabolous insects, the flies have dividing cells restricted to the gut and gonads. Due to this, the adult size is fixed by the nutrition received in the larval phase. Following the larval stage, further nutrition is required for"}, {"text": "the development of internal reproductive structures to reach sexual maturity. Breeding experiments typically assign three to six weeks for these flies to reach sexual maturity, but a value for wild fly populations has not been determined with confidence. Sexual maturity can be indicated by accessory gland growth, maturing of sperm bundles, and sperm motility. Accessory gland growth was found to have the largest effect on sexual maturity, but it is not the sole effect. Food resources. Adult flies exhibit solitary foraging behavior, feeding on rotting vegetative matter in the daytime. Mating. Female \"T. dalmanni\" roost on root threads overhanging streams at dusk. Males compete to gain control of these root hairs. Upon gaining control of a root hair they form harems, and females decide which male\u2019s harem to join. Studies have shown that females prefer to roost with males with larger eye-spans. Mating occurs at dawn, and usually multiple mating events take place. Research shows that increased mating frequency correlates with a higher proportion of fertile eggs. This is supported by the idea that multiple matings do not reduce the receptivity of a female fly to copulation, regardless of the characteristics of the mating male. Studies showed that the number"}, {"text": "of copulation events rather than the number of mates led to an increase in hatching success. Additionally, a large number of copulations are unsuccessful, with a study finding that females that copulated once had a hatching success rate of only 10%. Copulation specifics are not entirely understood, but some copulation events are rapid and last less than 60 seconds. Spermatophores. Male flies produce gourd-shaped spermatophores that occupy only a part of the vaginal capacity, as compared to the spermatophores of certain other diopsid flies that occupy the entire vaginal cavity. It has been suggested that the smaller size of the spermatophore is an adaptation to reduce investment in sperm due to a high mating frequency in a short amount of time. Accessory glands are responsible for forming the spermatophore that transports sperm during mating. Morphology. Eyestalks. The eyestalks of \"T. dalmanni\", as well as other Diopsidae flies, are frequently used to study the fields of sexual selection and mating preference. Eyestalks have been known to range from 4 mm in length up to 17 mm. Eyestalks can even be longer than body length. Hyperencephaly of the type that resembles the eyestalks in \"T. dalmanni\" is seen is other Dipteran organisms,"}, {"text": "but flies of the family Diopsidae are unique in that both males and females display some degree of eyestalk elongation. In \"T. dalmanni\" flies, males have larger eye-spans relative to body length compared to females. This feature of the fly is subject to studies that investigate the genetic background of sexual selection, female mating preferences and reproductive consequences. Mate choice. Eyestalks play an important role in mating behavior, as studies have shown that females prefer males with larger eye spans relative to body length. It was found that female preference for large eye-spans is evident when the difference between eye-spans of available males is large, not moderate. In cases of low and moderate difference, a female with a large eye-span is more likely to pick the male with larger eye-span. There are multiple theories posited to explain this, including the idea that female preference for male eye-span may have a ceiling, or that female choice is linked genetically to female eye-span. Sexual selection. Sexual selection posits that structures that are perceived as reliable indicators of individual quality are selected for. \"Teleopsis dalmanni\" eyestalks are an example of sexual dimorphism that has developed for mating purposes; larger eye-span is selected for"}, {"text": "as evidence indicates that it is preferred by females. A study also found that female individuals with larger eye-spans had significantly more mature oocytes than those with shorter eye-spans. Furthermore, eye-span independent of body size or mass has been identified as the key determinant in the outcomes of contests between males. This suggests that longer eyestalks developed in males as a result of mating success pressure, and hence are an example of sexual selection. However, it has been shown that females that mated with males with large eye-spans did not receive short-term fecundity benefits and fertility benefits, and in fact recorded a lower fertility rate than females mating with males with short eye-spans. Handicap hypothesis. Male eye-span is strongly dependent on conditional factors, comparatively more than other non-sexual traits, and eye-span becomes variable under conditions of increased stress. Similar patterns are not seen in comparable nonsexual traits, and are more closely correlated with body size. The hypothesis drawn from these results is that eye-span provides additional information about the condition beyond that provided by body size. Hence eye-span could be an alternative indication to females of the male's greater ability to survive. This relates to the handicap theory of evolution"}, {"text": "of ornamental male traits. However, studies cite a lack of evidence to support the idea that the extended eye-stalks are a handicap to male Diopsid flies.
