Feeding ducks, bacterial chemotaxis, and the Gini index
Classic experiments on the distribution of ducks around separated food sources found consistency with the `ideal free' distribution in which the local population is proportional to the local supply rate.

Targeting Nutrient Uptake Mechanisms in Plasmodium
The proliferation of the intraerythrocytic malaria parasite is dependent on the uptake from the blood plasma, and from the cytoplasm of the host cell, of a range of essential nutrients. These compounds are taken up into the parasitised cell via a combination of constitutively active endogenous host cell transporters and new parasite-induced ...

Substrate-grown crops represent approximately 10% of the cropping area of intensive greenhouse horticulture in southern Spain. The vast majority are free draining, in that they do not collect and recirculate drainage.

Can uptake length in strams be determined by nutrient addition experiments? Results from an interbiome comparison study [PDF]
Nutrient uptake length is an important parnmeter tor quantifying nutrient cycling in streams. Although nutrient tracer additions are the preierred method for measuring uptake length under ambient nutrient concentrations, short-term nutrient addition ...

Intestinal macromolecular transport supporting adaptive immunity [PDF]
The gastrointestinal tract performs opposing functions of nutrient absorption, barrier maintenance, and the delivery of luminal substances for the appropriate induction of tolerogenic or protective adaptive immunity.

Derivation of a dual porosity model for the uptake of nutrients by root hairs [PDF]
Root hairs are thought to play an important role in mediating nutrient uptake by plants. We develop a mathematical model for the nutrient transport and uptake in the root hair zone of a single root in the soil.

The effect of Intercropping on the Deep Root Development and Nutrient Uptake in a Sugar Beet – Chicory Mixture. [PDF]
Sustaining an increasing human population with decreasing soil resources is a great challenge of the 21st century. Suboptimal availability of water and N are primary limitations to plant growth in the low-input agroecosystems in developing nations ...

Nutrient uptake controls and limitation dynamics in north-east Greenland streams
Permafrost thaw induced by climate change will cause increased release of nutrients and organic matter from the active layer to Arctic streams and, with increased water temperature, will potentially enhance algal biomass and nutrient uptake.
