An important factor to consider when examining the spatial patterns of dead ants is the location of live C. leonardi ants, their trails and their colonies.
In this study, H2O2 showed a pattern indicative of dead cells with AOPI staining in contrast to untreated controls that showed no signs of dead cells.
In Israel, the virus also seems to produce bee symptoms not reported in the United States, including a pattern of finding dead bees near hives.
Using chemo-ecological methods that combine trace analysis and electrophysiology (Weissbecker et al. 2004), these insects can be used to identify core compounds from the volatile pattern of a dead vertebrate.
DIAP1 knockdown results in a strong cell death phenotype [ 13] and as a consequence, the pattern of 'dead' wells allows the post-screen identification of each library plate on the basis of cell survival (Additional file 1A) as well as serving as an indicator of dsRNA uptake and efficacy.
The standard gamble (SG) was presented in iterative form using a bisection pattern with endpoints of dead and perfect health.
Therefore, we studied (1) the extent and spatial patterns of standing dead stems along an elevational gradient and (2) the effects of dieback on forest carbon sequestration potential and aboveground carbon stocks, in Juniperus procera and Olea europaea dominated dry afromontane forest in northern Ethiopia, using allometric models combined with tree ring analysis.
However, to manage this pool, a basic understanding of patterns and rates of dead wood decomposition in different forests is crucial.

Additionally, the geographic pattern of sick or dead animals could indicate the persistence of a biological threat (2 ).
"As we grow older," says Eliot in The Four Quartets, "The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated / Of dead and living".
