Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Avaliação genética de caprinos da raça Alpina utilizando-se a produção de leite no dia do controle Genetic evaluation of Alpine goats using test day milk yield

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2006
Com os objetivos de estimar os parâmetros genéticos e predizer os valores genéticos para produção de leite no dia do controle (PLDC) e para produção acumulada (PAC), utilizaram-se dados de 356 cabras da raça Alpina, com 825 lactações e 26.389 controles ...

Functional traits predict changes in floral phenology under climate change in a highly diverse Mediterranean community

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Interação genótipo x ambiente em características de crescimento de bovinos da raça Nelore no Mato Grosso do Sul Genotype x environment interaction in growth traits of Nellore cattle of Mato Grosso do Sul

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2004
O efeito da interação genótipo x ambiente sobre a classificação de touros, com base nos seus valores genéticos preditos (VGs), foi estudado para os pesos ao nascimento (PN), à desmama (P205), aos 12 (P365) e aos 18 (P550) meses de idade de bovinos Nelore

Machine Learning Model for an App-Based Tool to Assist With the Diagnosis of Canine Atopic Dermatitis. [PDF]

Vet Dermatol
Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a chronic condition requiring life‐long management. Accurate diagnosis can be challenging, with no reliable diagnostic test. This study aimed to generate a simple diagnostic model for cAD. This model is a relevant prototype for an app‐based tool to support general practitioners in the diagnosis of cAD alongside ...

Climate‐induced shifts in long‐term tropical tree reproductive phenology: Insights from species dependent on and independent of biotic pollination

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

Importância dos estudos pré-clínicos em animais de experimentação para a cardiologia intervencionista The importance of pre-clinical animal testing in interventional cardiology

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2008
O tratamento da doença cardiovascular mudou radicalmente nas últimas duas décadas, proporcionando aos pacientes uma sobrevida maior e melhor qualidade de vida. Grande parte desse sucesso deve-se à introdução de novas terapias.

Local climate and genetic influence on intraspecific variation in torpor physiology of a cave‐roosting bat

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many small endotherms employ torpor as a survival strategy to reduce energy expenditure during periods with low food availability and cold temperatures. The expression and physiology of torpor can vary substantially within species because of phenotypic plasticity and ...

Lamb growth simulation through Pampa Corte model adapted to sheep Simulação do crescimento de cordeiros através do modelo Pampa Corte adaptado para ovinos

Ciência Rural, 2012
The Pampa-Corte model developed to simulate growth of beef cattle was adapted to simulate lamb growth. This paper has the objective to describe the main modifications and the fitness of model in the simulations of lamb growth.

Crítica al modelo animal en psicopatología: el caso de las obsesiones-compulsiones

Desde el Jardín de Freud
El modelo animal para conocer las supuestas bases de aprendizaje o neurobiológicas del trastorno mental ha tomado relevancia en los últimos 50 años. Se compartiría con algunos animales, como los perros o las ratas, ciertas organizaciones neurológicas de
