The complete chloroplast genome of Corethrodendron multijugum (Fabaceae: Corethrodendron) and phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023
Corethrodendron multijugum (Maxim.) (Fabaceae: Corethrodendron), also known as Hedysarum multijugum, is an important medicinal plant and is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. To better understand the diversity and phylogeny of C. multijugum and

Acceptability of Rhizoma Peanut Forage by Horses and Its Benefits on Feeding Behavior

open access: yesEDIS, 2023
Rhizoma peanut hay has been demonstrated to benefit horses’ feeding behavior with reduced inactive time, which can result in lower risk for abnormal behaviors in stabled horses.

The effect of the soil compaction on the contents of alfalfa root reserve nutrients in relation to the stand density and the amount of root biomass

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2007
The reserve root nutrients influence the overwintering, regrowth, yield, and persistence of alfalfa plants. The total amount of the root reserves is considered more important than their concentration.

Forage and Seed Production of Field Bean Respond Differently to Nitrogen Fertilization and Sowing Rate

open access: yesAgronomy
The rising demand for plant proteins and climate change highligth the need for adaptable legume crops. A three-year field experiment examined forage and seed production, as well as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) accumulation in an indeterminate field ...

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Assessment of the Standardized Precipitation and Evaporation Index (SPEI) as a Potential Management Tool for Grasslands

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
Early warning of detrimental weather and climate (particularly drought) on forage production would allow for tactical decision-making for the management of pastures, supplemental feed/forage resources, and livestock.

Soil nutrient management: fueling agroecosystem sustainability

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, 2020
Agricultural production must approximately double to support global population by 2050. Practices optimizing crop yield, nutrient use efficiency (NUE; fraction of applied nutrient taken up by crop) and environmental quality are essential.

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...
