Nutritional Composition of Forage Available to the Northern Hairy‐Nosed Wombat [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAccess to adequate nutrition supports an animal's chance of survival and reproduction; thus, it is particularly important for threatened species. The nutritional quality of forage available to the critically endangered northern hairy‐nosed wombat ...

UAVs and Machine Learning Revolutionising Invasive Grass and Vegetation Surveys in Remote Arid Lands [PDF]
Sensors, 2018 The monitoring of invasive grasses and vegetation in remote areas is challenging, costly, and on the ground sometimes dangerous. Satellite and manned aircraft surveys can assist but their use may be limited due to the ground sampling resolution or cloud ...

Morphogenetic, structural and productive traits of buffel grass under different irrigation regimes
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2015 The water restriction conditions in the Brazilian semiarid region are one of the most limiting factors to the establishment and yield of forage grasses. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different irrigation regimes on morphogenetic, structural ...

Concentrate levels for lambs grazing on buffel grass [PDF]
Revista Ciência Agronômica, 2011 Use of concentrate for lambs grazing buffel grass may improve animal performance and animal traits. The objective of the present trial was to evaluate the final body weight, average daily gain, total weight gain and carcass traits (cold and hot carcass weights, cold and hot dressing percentages) of lambs grazing buffel grass and receiving different ...

Overview of the current status of buffel grass dieback [PDF]
Australasian Plant Disease Notes, 2008 Over at least the last decade in Australia a condition known as buffel grass dieback has been a major concern to graziers who utilise this grass in improved pastures due to its fodder value for cattle. This is the first full description of the dieback condition of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.), including morphological and histological symptoms ...

DNA metabarcoding analysis of the bare-nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus) diet. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing metabarcoding we found bare‐nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus) eat mostly grasses, but dietary preferences are significant across season and are habitat specific. Future studies should be investigated across the broader wombat distribution. Abstract Wombats are native herbivorous grazers that have adapted to Australia's low‐quality forage.
