Optimal Grazing Exclusion Duration to Enhance Soil Carbon Sequestration in Degraded Grasslands
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Across China, grazing exclusion reaches the national mean soil organic carbon recovery benchmark sooner in high‐MAP regions (> 500 mm), but recovery is much slower where MAP < 300 mm. Scaling this strategy to 70% of China's degraded grasslands would sequester about 1.52 Pg of soil carbon over 10 years—roughly 17% of annual global fossil‐fuel emissions.

Coursing the mottled mosaic: Generalist predators track pulses in availability of neonatal ungulates
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The density and distribution of resources shape animal movement and behavior and have direct implications for population dynamics. Resource availability often is “pulsed” in space and time, and individuals should cue in on resource pulses when the ...

Risso's dolphins perform spin dives to target deep-dwelling prey
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Foraging decisions of deep-diving cetaceans can provide fundamental insight into food web dynamics of the deep pelagic ocean. Cetacean optimal foraging entails a tight balance between oxygen-conserving dive strategies and access to deep-dwelling prey of ...

Foraging Bee Optimization Algorithm
IJIEM - Indonesian Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2023 Honey bee colonies depend on pollen and nectar from flowers for their feed. The act of searching for this flowers by the bees is called foraging. The foraging behaviour of bees depends on the profitability of nectar and pollen sources as well as the needs of the colony.

Optimal random search, fractional dynamics and fractional calculus
, 2013 What is the most efficient search strategy for the random located target sites subject to the physical and biological constraints? Previous results suggested the L\'evy flight is the best option to characterize this optimal problem, however, which ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.OsGSK2‐OsTCP19 module regulating nitrate response and lateral root (LR) development. Low‐nitrate condition results in reduced BR response, accumulation of OsGSK2 and phosphorylated OsTCP19, which suppresses the expression of nitrate‐responsive genes and LR‐development genes and impairs rice growth.

Considerations When Applying the Consumer Functional Response Measured Under Artificial Conditions
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Since its creation, considerable effort has been given to improving the utility of the consumer functional response. To date, the majority of efforts have focused on improving mathematical formulation in order to include additional ecological processes ...

Neuromodulator Dynamics Underlying Associative Learning in the Ventral Striatum's Olfactory Tubercle
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Using fiber photometry and genetically encoded sensors, the dynamic release patterns of four neuromodulators in the olfactory tubercle (OT)—a brain region overlapping with the olfactory cortex and ventral striatum—were systematically monitored in response to external rewards and distinct reward‐associated learning processes.
