Yucca brevifolia

Nuclear Energy - Environment’s rejuvenation or a hazard!! In the early 1930s and 1940s, research was at its pinnacle yet very ‘small’, small in size, not in size of work but in size of the subject- atoms, neutrons, protons and nuclei. The works of Rutherford, Bohr, Einstein, Chadwick, Curie, Frederic, Fermi, Hahn, Strassmann all eventually led to the discovery of Nuclear Power or Energy, which is believed to be the panacea of energy crises that currently exist. It is a boon to the modern…

desert plants is that their flowering is dependent on the amount and timing of rainfall in a season. Once flowering occurs, the yucca moth pollinates neighboring Joshua trees while laying its eggs inside the flower. Without this moth the Joshua tree could not reproduce, nor could the moth, whose larvae needs the seeds as nutrient. This connection between the Joshua tree and yucca moth is a clear example of a symbiotic relationship. This crucial exchange could be in jeopardy with the impending…

The Strength of the Yucca-Yucca Moth Interaction: Review of Past Scientific Studies Abstract The relationship between Yucca moths from Tegeticula, Parategeticula and Prodoxous with the Yucca plant (Agavaceae) has been observed over centuries. The strength of their interaction has created contradictory theories. Whether the relationship is obligate or falcultative is one of the ideas providing differing views. The effects of external influences have also been studied by many. In this review I…
