BOTANICAL COMPOSITION AND IN VITRO NUTRITIONAL EVALUATION OF KIKUYU GRASS COMPARED WITH TEMPERATE PASTURES

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2021
Background: Intensive continuous grazing of temperate grass and legume pastures has been a feeding strategy adopted in small-scale dairy systems (SSDS) in the highlands of central Mexico that reduces costs and increases profitability of farms.

Aridity could have driven the local extinction of a common and multivoltine butterfly

Ecological Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 40-54, February 2023., 2023
Coenonympha pamphilus is a common, generalist, and multivoltine butterfly, widely distributed throughout the Western Palearctic. However, it has seemingly disappeared from the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. We performed ensemble species distribution models to detect the environmental variables that could be limiting the habitat suitability of this

Summer elk calf survival in a partially migratory population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
We investigated reproductive parameters of adult female elk with calves at heel, and survivorship, cause‐specific mortality, and intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting risk of mortality for calves in a partially migratory elk population from 2013–2016 in Alberta, Canada.

Review of cool‐season turfgrass water use and requirements: I. Evapotranspiration and responses to deficit irrigation

Crop Science, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1661-1684, September/October 2022., 2022
Abstract Knowledge of water use rates and responses to deficit irrigation practices in cool‐season turfgrasses is important, particularly in climates where irrigation is required to maintain turf quality. This is Part I of two companion papers reviewing cool‐season turfgrass water use and requirements.

A new method for broad‐scale modeling and projection of plant assemblages under climatic, biotic, and environmental cofiltering

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract There is increasing interestin broad‐scale analysis, modeling, and prediction of the distribution and composition of plant species assemblages under climatic, environmental, and biotic change, particularly for conservation purposes. We devised a method to reliably predict the impact of climate change on large assemblages of plant communities ...

Assessing the relative importance of managed crops and semi‐natural grasslands as foraging habitats for breeding lesser kestrels Falco naumanni in southeastern Italy

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, Page 1-10, 2021., 2021
Farmland habitats host important populations of several threatened bird species. So far, how to reconcile farmland management with the maintenance of viable populations of these taxa is a major challenge for conservation biology. Southeastern Italy hosts ca 7000 pairs of breeding lesser kestrels Falco naumanni, representing one of the European ...
