Choice and No-Choice Bioassays to Study the Pupation Preference and Emergence Success of Ectropis grisescens

Abstract:
"Choices" about nonmedical aging-related matters, such as housing, are weirdly extreme in the long last stage of life in America.

Nothing in between. Experts in aging and housing are calling attention to this "forgotten middle"-the millions of older Americans like my mother, people who are neither rich nor poor and whose needs in this long last stage of life cannot reliably be met through publicly funded health insurance or personal savings.
