Multimodal Locomotion: Next Generation Aerial–Terrestrial Mobile Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView., 2023
Aerial–terrestrial robots can achieve efficient energy consumption and robust environmental interaction by adding morphological features, adapting forms for locomotion transitions, and integrating multiple platforms. This next generation of mobile robots advances real‐world robotic deployment for operations with complex tasks and tackle environments ...

Investigation of genetic polymorphism of Russian rape and turnip rape varieties using SSR and SRAP markers

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2022
Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and turnip rape (B. rapa L. subsp. campestris (L.)) are important agricultural plants widely used for food, fodder and technical purposes and as green manure.

The rumen liquid metatranscriptome of post-weaned dairy calves differed by pre-weaning ruminal administration of differentially-enriched, rumen-derived inocula

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2022
Background Targeted modification of the dairy calf ruminal microbiome has been attempted through rumen fluid inoculation to alter productive phenotypes later in life. However, sustainable effects of the early life interventions have not been well studied,

Optimally frugal foraging [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2018
We introduce the \emph{frugal foraging} model in which a forager performs a discrete-time random walk on a lattice, where each site initially contains $\mathcal{S}$ food units. The forager metabolizes one unit of food at each step and starves to death when it last ate $\mathcal{S}$ steps in the past. Whenever the forager decides to eat, it consumes all

Information foraging with an oracle

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2023
During ecological decisions, such as when foraging for food or selecting a weekend activity, we often have to balance the costs and benefits of exploiting known options versus exploring novel ones. Here, we ask how individuals address such cost-benefit tradeoffs during tasks in which we can either explore by ourselves or seek external advice from an ...

Nutritive value of field pea -oat and common vetch -oat bicrops [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2023
Peas and vetches are the most important plant species for the production of forages, where they can be used as hay, haylage or silage. Due to their specific characteristics-tendency to lodging and high buffering capacity, they are usually grown in a ...

Research on Re-Searching: Interrupted Foraging is Not Disrupted Foraging

open access: yesCognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
AbstractIn classic visual search, observers typically search for the presence of a target in a scene or display. In foraging tasks, there may be multiple targets in the same display (or “patch”). Observers typically search for and collect these target items in one patch until they decide to leave that patch and move to the next one.

Multispecies for multifunctions: combining four complementary species enhances multifunctionality of sown grassland

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Assessing the overall performance of ecosystems requires a quantitative evaluation of multifunctionality. We investigated plant species diversity effects on individual functions and overall multifunctionality in a grassland experiment with sown ...

A global comparison of the nutritive values of forage plants grown in contrasting environments

open access: yesJournal of plant research, 2017
Forage plants are valuable because they maintain wild and domesticated herbivores, and sustain the delivery of meat, milk and other commodities. Forage plants contain different quantities of fibre, lignin, minerals and protein, and vary in the proportion

Breeding characteristics of Romanov sheep depending on polymorphism of growth hormone gene

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Agronomy and Animal Industries, 2022
The search for new markers of high productivity of sheep and the introduction of evaluation and selection methods for these indicators is an urgent direction in breeding of Russian sheep.
