IMPROVEMENT OF FORAGE YIELD TO IMPROVE DAIRY PRODUCT QUALITY: MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI APPLICATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF FORAGE CONSERVATION METHODS [PDF]

, 2016
The research is focused on forages production as a factor influencing the efficiency of buffalo and cattle farming and the quality of dairy products. The study is divided into two parts, which focus on forage production and dairy food quality, respectively 1.

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

A global latitudinal decline in breeding site fidelity emerges from a single biome

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species that breed in multiple years can either return to the same location to reproduce between seasons or disperse to a different location. Previous studies have shown that breeding site fidelity varies with species‐ and individual‐specific traits, but much of the observed variation remains unexplained.

Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...

Global distribution of avian plumage coloration and patterning: the relative influence of climate, ecology, and sexual selection

Ecography, EarlyView.
Animal coloration exhibits substantial biogeographic variation, reflecting complex adaptations to both abiotic and biotic environments. Although the evolutionary mechanisms underlying avian plumage coloration have been widely studied, geographic variation in plumage patterning has received far less attention.
