Common vetch (Vicia sativa) multi-podded mutants for enhanced commercial seed production

open access: yesТруды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции, 2019
In comparison to other annual forage legumes, such as pea (Pisum sativum L.), advances in breeding vetches (Vicia spp.) are rather modest. One of the main obstacles in increasing the cultivation area under vetches is uncertain seed production, mostly due

Forage quality declines with rising temperatures, with implications for livestock production and methane emissions

open access: yes, 2016
. Livestock numbers are increasing to supply the growing demand for meat-rich diets. The sustainability of this trend has been questioned, and future environmental changes, such as climate change, may cause some regions to become less suitable for ...

Neural Mechanisms of Foraging [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2012
Looking for Greener Pastures Humans, like other animals, have evolved to forage. Brain-imaging studies by Kolling et al. (p. 95 ) suggest that activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex supplies a continuous signal of environmental ...

The development of foraging organization

open access: yesAttention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2021
In foraging tasks multiple targets must be found within a single display. The targets can be of one or more types, typically surrounded by numerous distractors. Visual attention has traditionally been studied with single target search tasks but adding more targets to the search display results in several additional measures of interest, such as how ...

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Comprehensive analysis of the circular RNA expression profile and circRNA–miRNA–mRNA network in the goat skin with divergent wool curvature

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView., 2023
In our study, we conducted circRNA expression profiling of Zhongwei goat skin exhibiting divergent curvature wool phenotypes at two developmental stages using the RNA‐seq. Functional verification assay demonstrated that circRNA8782 regulated fibroblast proliferation.
