Predators attract prey through ecosystem engineering in the Arctic
Predators can affect prey through mechanisms other than predation; for example, redistributing resources could modify habitats favorably for other organisms.

Abstract Optimizing agricultural nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) nutrient application and crop structure regulation are common ways to control non‐point pollution. However, comprehensive effects of nutrient surplus and farmers’ revenue remain poorly understood.

Abstract Rodent population cycles are observed in highly seasonal environments. As most rodents are herbivorous, the availability and the quality of their food resources vary greatly across seasons. Furthermore, it is well documented that herbivore densities have a measurable effect on vegetation and, conversely, that vegetation dynamics can influence ...

Borys Vynogradov, a mammalogist of the Kharkiv School and founder of the ZIN Theriological Laboratory [PDF]
An essay about a zoologist who began his career in Kharkiv in the system of plant protection stations. During this period (1913–1921), the researcher paid attention to the taxonomy and ecology of rodents.

Sugarcane phosphorus (P) availability is limited in tropical soils, requiring strategies to improve fertilizer efficiency. This study evaluated Bacillus velezensis UFV 3918 (Bv) in combination with an organomineral fertilizer (OF) at reduced monoammonium phosphate (MAP) doses. It showed that Bv + OF + 1/3 MAP achieved soil and plant P levels comparable

Rodent prey sustains a diverse assemblage of Arctic predators. While lemmings and voles cooccur in large parts of the Arctic, certain predators appear to specialize on lemmings.
