Songbirds are a well‐established model group for the study of cultural evolution as their songs are learned (i.e. culturally transmitted), which may lead to divergence in song characteristics between populations. Song variation across populations may be affected by geographical isolation, timing and duration of the learning period, and life strategies ...

Plant Development and Leaf Area Production in Contrasting Cultivars of Maize Grown in a Cool Temperate Environment in the Field [PDF]
Crop models need accurate simulation of the interdependent processes of crop development and leaf area production. Crop development proceeds according to genotype characteristics and environmental influences, specifically temperature and photoperiod.

Diploid origins and early genome stabilization in the allotetraploid Arabidopsis suecica
Summary Polyploidization, followed by genome downsizing, is a recurrent evolutionary cycle that dramatically reshapes genome structure. Newly formed polyploids must quickly adjust their cell division machinery to maintain stable chromosome inheritance, while long‐term stabilization involves rediploidization, returning the genome to a diploid‐like state.

FINANCIAL AND RISK ANALYSIS OF MAIZE TECHNOLOGY IN ETHIOPIA, BASED ON CERES-MAIZE MODEL RESULTS [PDF]
This paper presents a financial and risk analysis of improved versus traditional maize production technology in Ethiopia, based on yields simulated with the CERES-Maize crop growth model (Schulthess and Ward, 2000).

Improving Crop Models: Incorporating New Processes, New Approaches, and Better Calibrations [PDF]
Early ancestors of crop simulation models (De Wit, 1965; Monteith, 1965; Duncan et al., 1967) were born before primitive personal computers were available (e.g. Apple II released in 1977, IBM PC released in 1981).

Abstract Ensuring food security is crucial in the context of climate change and increased extreme weather events. Crop production depends not only on yield but also on the harvestable fraction (HF), the ratio of harvested areas to planted areas. While the impacts of climate fluctuations on crop yields are well‐document, the role of HF‐a critical yet ...

Data Assimilation of Near-Surface In-Situ Soil Moisture Using the DSSAT Crop Model [PDF]
Soil water is an important variable in agricultural environments as it contributes to yield response as well as areas of environmental concern including erosion, runoff, and nitrogen leaching (through deep drainage).
