PLANT PHYSIOLOGY, 2014 During a plant's lifecycle, the availability of nutrients in the soil is mostly heterogeneous in space and time. Plants are able to adapt to nutrient shortage or localized nutrient availability by altering their root system architecture to efficiently explore soil zones containing the limited nutrient. It has been shown that the deficiency of different

Markets Mitigate Land‐Use Competition From Energy Crops and Increase Farm Revenues
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Meeting the US Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge target of 35 billion gal annually by 2050 will require an estimated 380 million–700 million dry tons of agricultural biomass feedstock. This study evaluates the implications of large‐scale biomass production for land use, crop production, and market outcomes under mature market ...

, 2018 This chapter for the Routledge Handbook of Food and Landscape (2018) addresses the place of one of the oldest human landscape practices – foraging – in a world where the business of nourishment and the lands that produce foodstuffs continue to be developed on relentlessly industrial lines. Arguing that foraging, agriculture and hunting are, in practice,

Prey aggregation is an effective olfactory predator avoidance strategy [PDF]
, 2014 Predator–prey interactions have a major effect on species abundance and diversity, and aggregation is a well-known anti-predator behaviour. For immobile prey, the effectiveness of aggregation depends on two conditions: (a) the inability of the predator ...

Climate Change Mitigation in the Dairy Sector: Uncovering Heterogeneity Through Eco‐Efficiency Clubs
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Combining climate change goals with economic targets is crucial for the dairy sector, which is a significant contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. In this paper, we assess economic and climate change implications of dairy production with panel data of Irish dairy farms from 2013 to 2021.

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1982 In Experiment 1, six naive pigeons were trained on a foraging schedule characterized by different states beginning with a search state in which completion of a fixed‐interval on a white key led to a choice state. In the choice state the subject could, by appropriate responding on a fixed ratio of three, either accept or reject the schedule of ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate variability is affecting the productivity, profitability, and resilience of smallholder dairy producers in developing countries. The adoption of climate‐smart (CS) dairy practices has been promoted to mitigate these negative effects. However, while interest in dairy CS practices is growing, empirical evidence on their adoption patterns

Current frontiers in the passive acoustic monitoring of bats
Methods in Ecology and EvolutionPassive acoustic monitoring of bats is used in a growing number of studies in applied and basic research, from local to global scales. Despite the publication of good‐practice recommendations, several unsettled debates persist about the possibilities and

Anticipatory Behavior of the Clonal Plant Fragaria vesca
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Active foraging for patchy resources is a crucial feature of many clonal plant species. It has been recently shown that plants’ foraging for resources can be facilitated by anticipatory behavior via association of resource position with other ...
