1. Yearly records of worker Vespula germanica (Fabricius) taken in suction traps at Silwood Park (28 years) and at Rothamsted Research (39 years) are examined. 2. Using the autocorrelation function (ACF), a significant negative 1-year lag followed by a lesser non-significant positive 2-year lag was found in all, or parts of, each data set, indicating an underlying population dynamic of a 2-year cycle with a damped waveform. 3. The minimum number of years before the 2-year cycle with damped waveform was shown varied between 17 and 26, or was not found in some data sets. 4. Ecological factors delaying or preventing the occurrence of the 2-year cycle are considered.

AbstractRecently, various studied were presented to describe the population dynamic of covid-19. In this effort, we aim to introduce a different vitalization of the growth by using a controller term. Our method is based on the concept of conformable calculus, which involves this term. We investigate a system of coupled differential equations, which contains the dynamics of the diffusion among infected and asymptomatic characters. Strong control is considered due to the social separation. The result is consequently associated with a macroscopic law for the population. This dynamic system is useful to recognize the behavior of the growth rate of the infection and to confirm if its control is correctly functioning. A unique solution is studied under self-mapping properties. The periodicity of the solution is examined by using integral control and the optimal control is discussed in the sequel.

Red scale were reared in the laboratory on disks cut from lemon leaves floated on distilled water in plastic vials. Scales could be reared to maturity on the disks and females would produce crawlers. Rates of development measured at four temperatures using the leaf disk method were similar to data reported by earlier authors. Unfertilized females were found to remain alive and could be fertilized up to 16 weeks after the second moult. On the average, the longevity of unfertilized females was shown to be 3.5 weeks longer than that of fertilized females. The fecundity of females collected from the field was measured at a series of constant temperatures. Estimates of the capacity for increase (rc) and the innate capacity for increase (rm were obtained at four temperatures. Both these statistics were shown to be greatly influenced by temperature; rc was found to be an underestimate of rm at higher temperatures.
