Dormancy and Revitalization: The fate of ethnobotanical knowledge of camel forage among Sahrawi nomads and refugees of Western Sahara [PDF]
, 2014 Knowledge about forage is fundamental to the survival of pastoral populations around the world. In this paper, we address the knowledge of camel forage of Sahrawi nomads and refugees of Western Sahara.

Neural Mechanisms of Foraging [PDF]
Science, 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 ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mitochondria across the entire neuromuscular system have been comprehensively reconstructed at different developmental stages using 3D electron microscopy. Fundamental structural principles related to synaptic function are preserved across development, and these morphologies are adapted to ensure effective neural circuit function.

Atmosphere, 2021 Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from pastures can vary significantly depending on soil and environmental conditions, nitrogen (N) input, as well as the plant’s ability to take up the N. We tested the hypothesis that legume-based N sources are characterized

Maximizing Forage Yields in Corn Silage Systems with Winter Grains [PDF]
, 2017 Producing sufficient high quality forage on farms is becoming difficult given current economic and environmental pressures. Farmers are looking for strategies to improve yield and quality of their own forage to reduce the financial burden of purchasing ...

Efficiency functionals for the Lévy flight foraging hypothesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We consider a forager diffusing via a fractional heat equation and we introduce several efficiency functionals whose optimality is discussed in relation to the L\'evy exponent of the evolution equation. Several biological scenarios, such as a target close to the forager, a sparse environment, a target located away from the forager and two targets ...

The effects of spatially heterogeneous prey distributions on detection patterns in foraging seabirds [PDF]
PLoS ONE 7(4) e34317, 2012, 2011 Many attempts to relate animal foraging patterns to landscape heterogeneity are focused on the analysis of foragers movements. Resource detection patterns in space and time are not commonly studied, yet they are tightly coupled to landscape properties and add relevant information on foraging behavior.

Foraging innovation in the guppy [PDF]
Animal Behaviour, 1999 When novel behaviour patterns spread through animal populations, typically one animal will initiate the diffusion. It is not known whether such 'innovators' are particularly creative individuals, individuals exposed to the appropriate environmental contingencies, or individuals in a particular motivational state.

Forage polyphenol oxidase and ruminant livestock nutrition
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is predominately associated with the detrimental effect of browning fruit and vegetables, however, interest within PPO containing forage crops (crops to be fed to animals) has grown since the browning reaction was associated with

Biomimetic Pyramid Structure Film for Enhancing Building Radiative Cooling
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Taking inspirations from the special surface structure of natural heat‐resistant organisms, a biomimetic micro‐pyramid‐shaped radiative cooling film is fabricated by integrating high dielectric constant materials with polymers. The resulting film boasts a solar reflectance of 97.3%, an exceeding 98% infrared light emission within the atmospheric window
