PLANT FERTILIZATION INTERACTS WITH LIFE HISTORY: VARIATION IN STOICHIOMETRY AND PERFORMANCE IN NETTLE-FEEDING BUTTERFLIES.

Plant fertilization interacts with life history: variation in stoichiometry and performance in nettle-feeding butterflies.

Variation in food stoichiometry affects individual performance and population dynamics, but it is also likely that species with different life histories should differ in their sensitivity to food stoichiometry.To address this question, we investigated the ability of the three nettle-feeding butterflies (Aglais urticae, Polygonia c-album, and housto

SD-VIS: A Fast and Accurate Semi-Direct Monocular Visual-Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)

In practical applications, how to achieve a perfect balance between high accuracy and computational red pygmy dogwood efficiency can be the main challenge for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).To solve this challenge, we propose SD-VIS, a novel fast and accurate semi-direct visual-inertial SLAM framework, which can estimate camera motion

NEXUS BETWEEN TAXATION AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN NIGERIA

This paper explored taxation and foreign direct investment (FDI) using the case of Nigeria with limited investigation.Taxation was proxy by company income tax (CITX) and value added tax (VATX), while FDI was proxy by FDI inflows.Data employed for the analyses were from 2000 to 2020 and obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulleti
