Improving approximate extraction of functional similar regions from large-scale spatial networks based on greedy selection of representative nodes of different areas

Abstract Dividing a geographical region into some subregions with common characteristics is an important research topic, and has been studied in many research fields such as urban planning and transportation planning.In this paper, by network analysis approach, we attempt to extract functionally similar regions, each of which consists of functional

Habituation to a Deterrent Plant Alkaloid Develops Faster in the Specialist Herbivore Helicoverpa assulta Than in Its Generalist Congener Helicoverpa armigera and Coincides with Taste Neuron Desensitisation

The two closely related moth species, Helicoverpa armigera and H.assulta differ strongly in their degree of host-plant specialism.In dual-choice leaf disk assays, caterpillars of the two species that had been reared on standard artificial diet were strongly deterred by the plant-derived alkaloid strychnine.However, caterpillars of both species rear
