Evaluating Kernza (Thinopyrum intermedium) as a Co‐Fermentation Feedstock for Bioethanol Production

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Kernza (Thinopyrum intermedium), a perennial grain developed by the Land Institute, presents a promising alternative to conventional ethanol feedstocks due to its deep‐root systems, low fertilizer requirements, and carbon sequestration potential.

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

Performance of orangefin labeo, Labeo calbasu (Hamilton 1822) as a component of polyculture system

Journal of Fisheries, 2014
This paper deals with the performance of Labeo calbasu (Hamilton, 1822) as a component of conventional composite carp culture system. The species was included as 50% substitution to common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in view of its omnivorous feeding habit ...

The Surprising History and Geography of the First "Organic Farming" Association [PDF]

, 2008
Readers of narratives of the history of organic farming in Australia will be familiar with such accounts beginning in the "1980s". In questing after the earliest organic farming society, and more particularly in pursuing the spread of the "organic" meme

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

Commodities from Amazon Biome: A Guide to Choosing Sustainable Paths

Commodities
The exploitation of the Amazon biome in search of net profit, specifically in the production of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) and açaí (Euterpe oleracea), has caused deforestation, degradation of natural resources, and high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ...

Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

Ecography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Monoculture Considered Harmful

First Monday, 2002
Monoculture cotton crops and the economy they supported proved susceptible to a small insect in the early twentieth century. There may be parallels in the Internet in the early twenty-first century.

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...
