Effects of Psidium guajava and Phyllanthus amarus extracts on digestive enzyme activity and growth of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus fingerlings under high-temperature stress

open access: yesCTU Journal of Innovation and Sustainable Development
The rise in water temperature by global warming is of high concern to aquaculturists. In this study, the effects of extracts-based diets on digestive enzymes, and growth performance in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus fingerlings under elevated temperatures ...

The Dung Beetle Compass [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2018
What do a burly rower, a backstroke swimmer and a hard-working South African dung beetle all have in common? The answer is: they all benefit from moving along a straight path, and do so moving backwards. This, however, is where the similarity ends. While the rower has solved this navigational challenge by handing the task of steering to the coxswain ...

A note on a topological approach to the $\mu$-constant problem in dimension 2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We provide an example, which shows that studying homological and homotopical properties of cobordisms between arbitrary, that is not necessarily negative, graph manifolds is not enough to prove the $\mu$-constant conjecture of Le Dung Trang in complex ...

The materiality of dung: the manipulation of dung in Neolithic Mediterranean caves

open access: yesDocumenta Praehistorica, 2009
This paper discusses the formation of layers of burnt herbivore dung in Neolithic, Eneolithic and Bronze Age Mediterranean caves. While these layers are clearly connected with transhumant pastoralism and the practice of keeping herds in the caves, their ...

Communities of Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) in the Steppe of Mongolia

open access: yesMongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2021
We studied the community structure of dung beetles in livestock dung within the steppe ecosystem of Mongolia. We found 15 species of dung beetles belonging to three families and representing two functional guilds, namely paracoprids and endocoprids.

Assemblages of Dung Beetles Using Cattle Dung in Madagascar [PDF]

open access: yesAfrican Entomology, 2009
Malagasy dung beetles have evolved with a diverse group of primates (lemurs), the largest extant native herbivores on the island. The two main radiations include the endemic subtribe Helictopleurina (65 species) and the tribe Canthonini with several endemic genera (c.

Dung Beetle Activity Is Soil-Type-Dependent and Modulates Pasture Growth and Associated Soil Microbiome

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
The introduction of numerous exotic dung beetles across southern Australia in regions where native dung beetles are not generally efficient in processing livestock dung has resulted in significant reductions in the quantity of such dung on the soil ...

Assessment of Biofertilizer Quality and Health Implications of Anaerobic Digestion Effluent of Cow Dung and Chicken Droppings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Anaerobic digestate have been identified as a rich source of essential plant nutrients. Nevertheless, its safety measured by the concentration of pathogen present is of great concern to end users. This research explored the efficiency of the mesophilic
