Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.This study evaluated the population dynamics of stubby root nematodes (SRN) in field rotations with cover crops and the subsequent effect of this rotation on sugar beet quality and quantity attributes. It was clear that the SRN densities under field conditions are influenced by multiple factors, such as the type of cover crops grown, soil disturbance ...

Interactions between Behaviour and Genetics in Wild and Domestic Bird Populations [PDF]
Personality traits can be favoured by both natural and artificial selection, if they result in increased fitness or productivity, and therefore play an important role in both wild and domestic populations.

Aging Cell, EarlyView.Multi‐ciliated cells in the infundibulum and ampulla (INF/AMP) epithelium are vacuolated in aging. Unique cellular susceptibility of the INF/AMP epithelial population and aging‐associated decline in ovarian artery circulation, which supports the ovary and INF/AMP, contribute to this region‐specific vacuolation phenotype, as a consequence of a mildly ...

Aging Cell, EarlyView.Here, we reanalyze single‐cell RNA sequencing datasets demonstrating hippocampal adult neural stem cell (NSC) heterogeneity to resolve classification inconsistencies and identify conserved gene markers. Our findings enhance understanding of NSC dynamics, aging, and senescence, providing a framework for standardized classification and improved insights ...

Effects of restricted methionine and energy intake on egg weight and shell quality : research note
Agricultural and Food Science, 2008 An experiment involving two laying hen hybrids and four dietary treatments was conducted to study the effects of dietary methionine restriction (MR) (3,05 g/kg, MR 100MR did not significantly affect hen-day production (%) but reduced linearly ...

Bioavailability of Tryptophan Biomass for Laying Hens
AnimalsTwo concurrent assays were conducted with the objective of evaluating the bioequivalence and determining the relative bioavailability value (RBV) of L-tryptophan biomass 60% for laying hens. In both assays, L-tryptophan 98% was used as the reference source. A total of 216 hens were used in the two assays.

Border fortification and legibility: Evidence from Afghanistan
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract States often fortify their borders against militant threats. How do these efforts shape civilian welfare and perceptions in borderland communities? I conceptualize border fortification as a legibility‐building endeavor. By bolstering state reach in areas of weak historical penetration, fortification enhances the government's capacity for ...
