Time lags in the regulation of symbiotic nitrogen fixation. [PDF]
Summary Theory has shown that time lags in the regulation of symbiotic nitrogen (N) fixation (SNF) can be important to the competitive dynamics and ecosystem consequences of N‐fixing trees, but measurements of these time lags are lacking. Here, we used a novel method to measure SNF in seedlings of four N‐fixing tree species that represent tropical and ...

Tiny Patch, Big Value: A Small Dry Forest Patch Supports Wildlife Conservation in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. [PDF]
This study highlights the biodiversity value of the Murren Reserve, a small tropical dry forest patch in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Using camera traps and opportunistic observations, researchers documented 32 wildlife species, including federally endangered species like the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and puma (Puma concolor), as well as 73 plant species.

Effect of Oil Palm Leaf Meal (Elaeis guineensis) on Growth Performance, Haematology and Carcass Characteristics of West African Dwarf Sheep. [PDF]
Oil palm leaf meal (OPLM) is a promising feed ingredient for sheep, enhancing nutrient absorption, rumen health, and growth. A 10% inclusion improved weight gain and feed efficiency, while 20% had negative effects on weight and carcass traits. OPLM supplementation positively influenced blood parameters and meat production efficiency, making it a viable
