Targeted behavioural and microclimate data collection substantially improves biophysical model predictions of energy expenditure in wild birds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Energy is fundamental for life and accurately predicting animals' energy expenditure under changing environments is central to ecology and global change biology. Energy expenditure in free‐living animals can be directly quantified using the doubly labelled water (DLW ...

Effects of mepiquat chloride on yield and main properties of cottonseed under different plant densities

Journal of Cotton Research, 2019
Background Cottonseed oil and protein content as well as germination traits are major indicators of seed quality. However, the responses of these indicators to plant density and mepiquat chloride (MC) are still uncertain. To investigate plant density and

Beyond thermoregulation: Active behavioural regulation of ultraviolet light exposure by a free‐ranging lizard

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study provides a clear demonstration of active ultraviolet (UV) regulation in free‐ranging lizards and supports that microhabitat choice likely constrains UV regulation more than thermoregulation. Overall, it serves to establish UV as a parallel regulatory axis of physiological homeostasis and expand the range of testable hypotheses in animal ...

Life‐stage variation in Sable Shearwater (Ardenna carneipes) physiology assessed using proteomics

Ibis, EarlyView.
Life‐stage transitions in seabirds involve substantial shifts in physiological demands, yet the molecular mechanisms underpinning these changes remain poorly resolved. Here we applied untargeted data‐independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA‐MS) to characterize and compare the plasma proteomes of fledgling and adult Sable Shearwaters Ardenna ...

Harnessing Microbial Agents to Improve Soil Health and Rice Yield Under Straw Return in Rice–Wheat Agroecosystems

Agriculture
We clarified the effect of wheat straw return combined with microbial agents on rice yield and soil properties. A field experiment was conducted using hybrid indica rice ‘Chuankangyou 2115’ and five treatments: no wheat straw return (T1), wheat straw ...

Prolonged photoperiod inhibits growth and reproductive functions of rohu Labeo rohita

Aquaculture Reports, 2020
Among the environmental factors, photoperiod plays an important role in growth and reproduction of fish. This study was conducted to assess the effects of photoperiod on growth of juveniles and reproductive functions of matured female rohu (Labeo rohita),

A Systematic Map to Identify Knowledge Gaps on a Vector of Citrus Greening Diseases: The African Citrus Triozid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio, 1918) (Hemiptera: Triozidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, citrus production areas are threatened by greening diseases, also known as Huánglóngbíng (HLB), associated with phloem‐limited gram‐negative species of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Those pathogens are transmitted by either the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), or the African citrus ...

Effect of Temperature and Light on Ex Situ Germination of Flemingia faginea (Guill. & Perr.) Baker Seeds in Burkina Faso

International Journal of Forestry Research
Flemingia faginea is a woody species whose various parts are widely used in traditional medicine. However, this species, which typically grows along waterways, is becoming increasingly rare due to poor seed germination in the wild, possibly resulting ...

Apoplastic barriers of Populus × canescens roots in reaction to different cultivation conditions and abiotic stress treatments

Stress Biology, 2023
Populus is an important tree genus frequently cultivated for economical purposes. However, the high sensitivity of poplars towards water deficit, drought, and salt accumulation significantly affects plant productivity and limits biomass yield.
