Ryegrasses: An Option for an Annual Forage Crop in Alaska [PDF]
, 1984 Annuals are often planted for a forage crop in Alaska, often on land that is being renovated or on newly cleared land, thus providing a longer opportunity for worldng the soil before seeding a perennial. Oats (Avena sativa) and barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Optimal Lévy-flight foraging in a finite landscape [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Society Interface 12, 20141158 (2015), 2014 We present a simple model to study L\'{e}vy-flight foraging in a finite landscape with countable targets. In our approach, foraging is a step-based exploratory random search process with a power-law step-size distribution $P(l) \propto l^{-\mu}$. We find that, when the termination is regulated by a finite number of steps $N$, the optimum value of $\mu$

Forage fish, their fisheries, and their predators: who drives whom?
, 2014 The North Sea has a diverse forage fish assemblage, including herring, targeted for human consumption; sandeel, sprat, and Norway pout, exploited by industrial fisheries; and some sardine and anchovy, supporting small-scale fisheries.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract The EU aims to reach 25% of the total agricultural area under organic farming by 2030. Interlinking a farm‐level and agro‐economic market model, we assess impacts of achieving the target either at Member State or aggregated EU level. Results show that flexible budget allocation across Member States would be more cost‐efficient and less ...

Ecological stability of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) in organic farming conditions
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2020 The main direction in the breeding of legumes is the development of high-productive cultivars with stable yields. In order to assess the ecological stability of 17 broad bean accessions (Fb 1896, Fb 1903, Fb 1929, Fb 2481, Fb 2486, Fb 3270, BGE 002106 ...

Forage Yields in Turkey Hill Wilderness in East Texas for White-tailed Deer [PDF]
, 2016 Wilderness areas are often considered quality areas where natural processes occur without human activity. It is often assumed that these unmanaged areas will provide and support quality wildlife habitat. The objective of this study was to evaluate the

Stochastic dynamics of social patch foraging decisions [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Animals typically forage in groups. Social foraging can help animals avoid predation and decrease their uncertainty about the richness of food resources. Despite this, theoretical mechanistic models of patch foraging have overwhelmingly focused on the behavior of single foragers.

Impact of index insurance on downside income risk: Evidence from northern Kenya
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract We assessed the impact of index‐based livestock insurance (IBLI) on household income and its higher‐order moments (i.e., variance and skewness). The study uses four waves of panel survey data from northern Kenya and applies a two stage least squares (2SLS) instrumental variables regression to estimate the causal impacts.

Adaptive patch foraging in deep reinforcement learning agents [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Patch foraging is one of the most heavily studied behavioral optimization challenges in biology. However, despite its importance to biological intelligence, this behavioral optimization problem is understudied in artificial intelligence research. Patch foraging is especially amenable to study given that it has a known optimal solution, which may be ...
