RESEARCH REGARDING ETHANOL OBTAIN BY CATTAIL RHIZOMES

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture, 1970
Ethanol can be produced by means of fermentation. When yeasts are placed in an anaerobic environment, the result of their cellular respiration process is a formation of carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol. Ethanol can then be used in a number of applications, including use as an alternative energy fuel.

Using Advanced Tri‐Axial Accelerometer Data to Improve Behavioral Time Budgets and Bioenergetic Estimates of Wintering Lesser Scaup

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We compared two observational methods, traditional ground truthed diurnal scanning observations and 24‐h tri‐axial accelerometer GPS/GSM transmitter data, for calculating behavioral time budgets and estimated the daily energy expenditure of wintering Lesser Scaup.

Hot-water pretreatment of cattails for extraction of cellulose

Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2010
To date in the US, production of renewable fuels, particularly ethanol, is primarily from food crops that are high in sugar and starch. The use of arable land for fuel rather than food production and the use of a food source for fuel rather than food have created issues in pricing and availability of traditional foods and feed.

Unexpected diversity of alternative reproductive tactics revealed in Water Rails (Rallus aquaticus)

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 216-229, January 2026.
Monogamy in birds was long considered a general mating system until molecular studies provided evidence of alternative reproductive strategies (ARS), which are now assumed to be present in ~90% of bird species. These ARS or tactics (ART), as we consider them in this study, include extra‐pair copulation, which can lead to extra‐pair paternity or extra ...

Integrating eDNA and community science to monitor urban Odonata diversity

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 84-92, January 2026.
Environmental DNA captured rare and underrepresented taxa often missed by community science observations. Community science revealed adult‐stage observations across a broader temporal window. Integrating both methods improved detection across life stages, seasons, and species prevalence.

Physical and chemical properties of substrates produced using macrophytes aquatics

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2013
Aquatic macrophytes are widely used as bioindicators of water quality because their proliferation usually occurs in eutrophic water sources and has hit several parts of Brazil and the world, restricted the multiple uses of aquatic ecosystems.
