Measuring congruence between available and selected vegetation at wild turkey nest sites
We evaluated whether female wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo ssp.) differentially selected vegetation characteristics on the first day of egg laying across 164 nesting attempts and 492 travel paths. Vegetation conditions at nest sites were commonly available along movement paths, and visual obstruction did not influence nest success, suggesting nest ...

It has long been known that plants adjust allocation to different tissues based on supply of soil nitrogen, but the degree to which nitrogen supplied by symbiotic nitrogen‐fixing bacteria has similar effects on allocation is less well known. Using an experiment with 15 plant species with and without access to symbiotic nitrogen‐fixing bacteria, grown ...

The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of proteins extracted from Acacia farnesiana seeds
Seeds of Acacia farnesiana are commonly sold in the local markets of northeastern Brazil as a therapeutic agent. The present work aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of proteins obtained from A. farnesiana seeds.

Evolutionary history and root trait coordination predict nutrient strategy in tropical legume trees
Summary Plants express diverse nutrient use and acquisition traits, but it is unclear how trait combinations at the species level are constrained by phylogeny, trait coordination, or trade‐offs in resource investment. One trait – nitrogen (N) fixation – is assumed to correlate with other traits and used to define plant functional groups, despite ...

Abstract Vachellia gummifera (Willd.) Kyal. & Boatwr. is a medicinal plant endemic to Morocco that has no documented studies on its chemical composition. In this study, the chemical composition of the water/methanol (4 : 1) extracts of air‐dried leaf and stem samples of Moroccan V. gummifera was determined using UHPLC‐MS and NMR.

First Report of Ravenelia spegazziniana on Acacia farnesiana from Brazil
Leaves, young branches, and fruits of Acacia farnesiana (L.) Willd. (Fabaceae) that were distorted because of hypertrophy causing witches' brooms and other abnormal growth were collected in the area surrounding the Panteón da Liberdade e da Democracia, Brasilia, Brazil, during August 2005. Uredinia and telia were observed in the symptomatic areas. The

Producción, digestibilidad y rentabilidad en corderos de dietas con vainas de Acacia farnesiana [PDF]
Con el objetivo de evaluar el uso de vainas de Acacia farnesiana en la alimentación de ganado lanar se hizo un experimento con corderos de raza Chiapas en crecimiento, que recibieron dietas (T) isoproteínicas con diferentes niveles de inclusión de vainas: T1= 0, T2= 100, T3= 200, T4= 300 y T5= 400 g/kg (base seca) elaboradas con rastrojo de maíz ...

We examined habitat selection of ocelots, bobcats, and coyotes using LiDAR‐derived metrics of vegetation structure. We show differences in selection between species as well as extensive variation among individuals of all three species. Abstract Wildlife depends on specific landscape features to persist.

Abstract Ficus trees play an important role as key species in both ecological and sociocultural networks in Madagascar. This study focused on species of isolated Ficus growing in agricultural areas adjoining a forest corridor linking the Ranomafana and Andringitra National Parks in east‐central Madagascar, with the aim of understanding the structural ...
