Average Mass of Seeds Encountered by Foraging Dabbling Ducks in Western Europe

Wildlife Biology, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 328-336, September 2007., 2007
Abstract Many dabbling ducks Anas spp. are largely granivorous, consuming a variety of seeds chiefly from aquatic plants. To assess the relative value and carrying capacity of wetlands for dabbling ducks, species‐specific information about seed mass is needed, but it is still largely missing or scattered in the literature. By combining weights of seeds

How, What, and Where You Sample Environmental DNA Affects Diversity Estimates and Species Detection

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.
This study evaluates the impact of two eDNA capture methods—grab samples and tow nets—on species detection and diversity assessment in various aquatic environments in Minnesota, Florida, and Switzerland. It finds that while tow nets yield more eDNA, they do not necessarily correlate with higher biodiversity, highlighting that both capture method and ...

Angiosperm‐wide analysis of fruit and ovary evolution aided by a new nuclear phylogeny supports association of the same ovary type with both dry and fleshy fruits

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 228-251, February 2024.
Phylogenetic analysis and molecular dating elucidate relationships for orders and families, trace crown angiosperms’ Triassic origin, unveil parallel carpel fusions in early eudicots, monocots, and magnoliids and associate specific fruit types sharing the same ovary type.

Partial Replacement of Fish Meal with an Aquatic Macrophyte, Ceratophyllum demersum in the Diet of Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio var. communis Fingerlings

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
A 12‐week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the nutrient utilization, growth performance, and hematological indices of Cyprinus carpio var. communis fingerlings fed diets based on aquatic macrophyte, Ceratophyllum demersum as a replacement of fish meal (FM). Six isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets containing graded levels of C. demersum 0%, 5%,
