An examination of the intentional and unintentional aspects of medication non‐adherence in patients diagnosed with hypertension
Authors: Lehane Elaine , McCarthy Geraldine 
Published: March 2007

Aims.  The primary aim of this study was to describe the unintentional and intentional aspects of non‐adherence in patients diagnosed with hypertension. A secondary aim was to examine the relationships between medication adherence and purposeful actions (intentional non‐adherence), patterned behaviours (unintentional non‐adherence) and demographic questionnaire variables.Background.  Non‐adherence to medications continues to be a significant health‐care issue, the extent and consequences of which have been well documented. Despite considerable research over the past five decades, little progress has been made in solving this healthcare problem. Recent literature indicates that this lack of progress can be attributed to the fact that past research has concentrated solely upon either the unintentional or the intentional aspects of non‐adherence, instead of addressing both facets simultaneously.Methods.  A quantitative, descriptive, correlation research design was employed using Johnson's (2002) Medication Adherence Model as a theoretical framework. A convenience sample of 73 participants with hypertension, attending the outpatients’ clinics of two university hospitals was recruited. Data were collected by means of a researcher administered questionnaire and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences.Results.  High levels of medication adherence with a mean adherence score of 4·75 (maximum 5) were reported. Low and medium levels of purposeful actions and medium and high levels of patterned behaviours towards medication taking were found. Correlational analyses did not demonstrate statistically significant associations.Conclusions.  Both the intentional and unintentional dimensions of medication‐taking are simultaneously considered by patients to varying levels when adhering to therapeutic regimens. This is an important research area for nurses as it facilitates an increased understanding of non‐adherence and, in so doing, aids the uncovering of more effective interventions aimed at sustaining lifelong pharmacotherapy.Relevance to clinical practice.  By acknowledging a broader approach to patient medication‐taking, nurses will be able more effectively to assess and intervene in non‐adherent behaviours and actions.
Do female black field crickets Teleogryllus commodus benefit from polyandry?
Authors: JENNIONS M. D. , DRAYTON J. M. , BROOKS R. , HUNT J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractFemale insects that mate multiply tend to have increased lifetime fitness, apparently because of greater access to male‐derived resources (e.g. sperm, nuptial gifts) that elevate fertility/fecundity. Experiments that standardize the number of matings per female also show that polyandry can improve aspects of offspring performance, most notably early embryo survival (egg hatching success). This improvement is widely attributed to genetic benefits which would arise if polyandrous females skew paternity to produce fitter offspring. In two separate experiments with field crickets (Teleogryllus commodus) polyandrous females (two, three or four mates) did not have higher egg hatching success than monandrous females (effect sizes: r = 0.03 and 0.08 for the respective experiments), which is consistent with our finding of no sire effect on hatching success. Polyandry also had no effect on post‐hatching offspring survival. Polyandrous females’ offspring took significantly longer to mature but their sons were not heavier and their daughters were actually significantly smaller than those of monandrous females. Finally, after controlling for relative male size, monandrous females’ sons were more successful when directly competing for a mate.
Combined linkage maps and QTLs in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) from different populations
Authors: Weber W. E. , Borchardt D. C. , Koch G. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe construction of genetic maps is an expensive and time‐consuming process. The breeder is therefore interested in using maps developed from other mapping populations but this is only possible if the genetic structure is similar for the chromosomal regions of interest. In this paper, maps of three populations of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) with common polymorphic marker loci are compared. Maps were constructed with MAPMAKER 3.0 and JOINMAP 2.0. Both mapping programs gave, in general, the same order for common markers. However, the number of common markers was too low to construct a combined map for all chromosomes. For one population, in contrast to the other two, the map constructed with MAPMAKER 3.0 was much longer than that constructed with JOINMAP 2.0.For two of these populations yield traits were also available from different environments. For quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of the yield data, the packages MAPMAKER/QTL 1.1 and PLABQTL were used. No QTL common for the two populations could be detected. The program and the version used strongly influenced the estimated positions of QTLs. There was also a strong interaction with environments.

NOTES ON THE PUPAL BEHAVIOUR AND COLLECTION OF LARVAE AND PUPAE OF SOME AUSTRALIAN CULICOIDES (DIPTERA: CERATOPOGONIDAE)
Authors: Dyce A. L. , Murray M. D. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThree distinct patterns of behaviour of pupae of aquatic Culicoides species are described. Pupae of some species float to the surface in water and are unable to submerge, whereas those of other species repeatedly rise to the surface and then sink. In another species the pupae do not float but actively burrow back into the substratum when dislodged. A short discussion of methods for the recovery and rearing of these immature stages is included.
PARASITISM OF SIREX NOCTILIO F. BY SCHLETTERERIUS CINCTIPES (CRESSON) (HYMENOPTERA: STEPHANIDAE)
Authors: Taylor K. L. 
Published: April 2007

Abstract Schlettererius cinctipes (Cresson), reputed to be a parasite of Coleoptera, has been successfully reared in Tasmania on Sirex noctilio F. in Pinus radiata D. Don., from a single female received from California in 1963. The adults emerge in late September and early October. Females begin to oviposit 12–24 days after emergence and the egg, which is deposited on the surface of the host larva, hatches in approximately 14 days. The larva completely destroys the host larva in 6–7 weeks after oviposition. Parasitized Sirex larvae were found at depths of up to 3.4 cm from the bark surface.No evidence has been found that S. cinctipes attacks Sirex larvae parasitized by Ibalia leucospoides (Hochenw.), or fully‐fed larvae of Rhyssa persuasoria (L.), and its potential value as a member of the parasite complex is discussed.

STUDIES ON THE BIOLOGY OF RHYSSA PERSUASORIA (L.) (HYMENOPTERA: ICHNEUMONIDAE) INCORPORATING AN X‐RAY TECHNIQUE
Authors: Hocking Helen 
Published: April 2007

iDevelopment of the immature stages of Rhyssa persuasoria (L.) on the larvae, prepupae and pupae of Sirex noctilio F. was followed in situ in Pinus radiata D. Don. by an X‐ray technique. R. persuasoria females were allowed to oviposit in wood in which the location of immature stages of S. noctilio had been determined radiographically. By this means it was found that they could not locate their hosts with certainty. When a host was located the female parasite paralysed it by stinging and laid an egg upon it. The host was consumed within five weeks and the parasite passed through four larval instars before pupation.

THE RECOGNITION OF NULLIPAROUS AND PAROUS CULICOIDES (DIPTERA: CERATOPOGONIDAE) WITHOUT DISSECTION
Authors: Dyce A. L. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA burgundy‐red pigment acquired by the tissue lining the abdominal wall during development of the ovarian follicles is invariably present in gravid Culicoides. The pigment persists after oviposition and can be detected in unengorged females with undeveloped ovaries with the aid of a dissecting microscope. The presence or absence of the pigment provides a method for recognition of individual nulliparous and parous empty Culicoides without dissection. It may be applied to living as well as refrigerated or deep frozen material and specimens stored in alcohol or cleared in creosote and mounted in baisam. Using this method conspecific series have been sorted according to sex, the females graded as blood‐engorged, gravid, nulliparous empty or parous empty and the numbers counted, at the rate of more than 1000 flies/hr.

THE ENGORGEMENT OF IXODES HOLOCYCLUS NEUMANN (ACARINA: IXODOIDEA) ON MICE
Authors: Murray M. D. , Koch J. H. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA single Ixodes holocyclus female was allowed to attach to the head of a mouse and feed. When the mouse died of respiratory paralysis the portion of the skin with the tick attached was removed. The skin was dissected from the hypostome of the tick, and the hypostome inserted into an incision in the skin of the head of another mouse whereupon the tick continued to engorge and killed the mouse. This procedure was repeated on the death of each of five mice. The time required to kill each mouse declined progressively from 72–92 hr to 12–18 hr indicating an increased secretion of toxin as engorgement proceeded. Thus it was possible to produce mice in advanced stages of tick paralysis at predetermined times, and thereby facilitate biochemical studies on the mode of action of the toxin produced by the tick.
CYTOGENETICS OF SPECIATION
Authors: White M. J. D. 
Published: April 2007

iThe essence of speciation lies in the origin of genetic isolating mechanisms. Argument has raged as to whether the primary isolating mechanisms which initiate specific divergence operate at the pre‐mating or post‐mating level and whether complete geographic isolation necessarily precedes divergence. Speciation is essentially a cytogenetic process and the role of chromosomal rearrangements as primary isolating factors has probably been underestimated in the past. But speciation depends on many factors such as population size, vagility and type of life cycle, so it is unlikely that any universal model is applicable.

THE RELATION BETWEEN ENGORGEMENT AND DROPPING OF BOOPHILUS MICROPLUS (CANESTRINI) (IXODIDAE) TO THE ASSESSMENT OF TICK NUMBERS ON CATTLE
Authors: Wharton R. H. , Utech* K. B. W. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA pattern of engorgement and dropping of the female cattle tick Boophilus microplus is described. Partly engorged females, which have grown to a length of 4–6 mm (10–30 mg), undergo rapid final engorgement at night to reach a length of 8–11 mm (150–250 mg) and detach from cattle in the early hours of the morning. The minimum size of females which engorge varies with season. Differences in the engorgement and dropping pattern of ticks on cattle observed in summer and in winter, and on cattle held in open yards and in covered stalls, suggest an influence of the external environment, particularly temperature and light, on tick engorgement and detachment. Counting of ticks 4.5–8 mm in length on one day was shown to provide a reliable estimate of the numbers of engorged ticks dropping the following day and has been adopted for the assessment of tick numbers on cattle.
THE BIOLOGY OF HEMITHYNNUS HYALINATUS (HYMENOPTERA: TIPHIIDAE), A PARASITE OF SCARABAEID LARVAE†
Authors: Smith T. J. Ridsdill 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe biology of Hemithynnus hyalinatus Westwood is described. The wasps usually have a one‐year life cycle in contrast to the two‐year life cycle of their hosts. Adults of the wasps H. hyalinatus and Guerinus shuckardi Guérin emerge from their cocoons at different times and in the field can attack different generations of the same host species. Better control of one scarabaeid species might therefore be achieved by the use of several species of Thynninae. Female H. hyalinatus oviposit once every three days, but need to mate frequently for continued oviposition, because they obtain food regurgitated by the male wasps while mating.

BIOLOGY AND REARING OF THE SCARABAEID, SERICESTHIS GEMINATA (COLEOPTERA)
Authors: Wensler* Rita J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractLast‐instar larvae of Sericesthis geminata (Boisduval) remain active in the field during the winter but development is depressed to a very low level by winter field temperatures. Therefore insects which overwinter in the field in the last‐instar, proceed to the pupal and adult stages at any time in the autumn and winter when kept at warm temperatures. At 21 ± 3°C (70 ± 5°F) the life cycle is completed in about 22 weeks. Caged adult S. geminata feed on young leaves of a number of eucalypt species. Viable eggs are produced by unfed beetles. Feeding on Eucalyptus blakelyi doubles the number of eggs produced.

Published: April 2007

AbstractSome details on size, occurrence, habits and nesting behaviour of six species are recorded. Although not suitable for intensive field pollination, most of these have some potential for lucerne seed production in cages. Chalicodoma mystaceana has been used for this purpose for two years. The rapid multiplication of parasites has prevented the build up of large bee populations. Some aspects of parasite control are discussed.
