Forage use and niche partitioning by non-native bumblebees in New Zealand: Implications for the conservation of their populations of origin

, 2010
Bumblebees were introduced into New Zealand from the UK approximately 120 years ago and four species became established. Two of these, Bombus terrestris and B. hortorum, are common in Europe whilst two, B. ruderatus and B.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Pyrenean meadows in Natura 2000 network: grass production and plant biodiversity conservation

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014
In semi-natural mountain meadows, yield and forage quality must be reconciled with plant biodiversity conservation. This study was performed to analyze the relationships between these three parameters.

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on Myricaria germanica in northern Italy

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

HapAsmbl: A reference‐aided pipeline for assembling haplotypes in Nanopore amplicon sequence data of polymorphic populations

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Advances in long‐read sequencing offer new possibilities to investigate haplotype diversity across multiple genes in plants and other taxa through multi‐locus, long‐read amplicon sequencing (multi‐locus LRAS). Despite this progress, there is a notable absence of dedicated bioinformatics pipelines for assembling diploid haplotypes of ...

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

DAFOSYM: A Dairy Forage System Model for Evaluating Alternatives in Forage Conservation

Journal of Dairy Science, 1989
Abstract The dairy forage system model, DAFOSYM, is a simulation model designed to evaluate technologies and management strategies on representative dairy farms. The model integrates crop growth, harvest, storage, feeding, animal utilization, and economic analysis. Corn and alfalfa growth are simulated using historical weather data.

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.
