Breeding tropical forages [PDF]

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2011
Brazil has the largest commercial beef cattle herd and is the main beef exporter in the world. Cultivated pastures are the basis for the Brazilian beef production, and occupy an area of 101.4 million hectares. However, very few forage cultivars are commercially available, and the majority of these are of apomictic reproduction, thus genetically ...

Breeding habitat loss reveals limited foraging flexibility and increases foraging effort in a colonial breeding seabird [PDF]

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2020
Abstract Background Habitat loss can force animals to relocate to new areas, where they would need to adjust to an unfamiliar resource landscape and find new breeding sites. Relocation may be costly and could compromise reproduction.
