Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

African Crop Science Journal, 2019 Although breeders have made significant progress in the genetic improvement of cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) for agronomic traits, lack of information on heritability and limited testing of high-throughput phenotyping methods are major limitations ...

, 1968 An auger-type soil penetrometer for burrowing into soil formations is described. The auger, while initially moving along a predetermined path, may deviate from the path when encountering an obstruction in the soil.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We experimentally manipulated top‐down (predator exclusion) and bottom‐up (fertilisation) forces in a temperate forest understory to test effects on arthropod densities, body sizes and herbivory. Predator exclusion had no detectable effect on arthropod density, herbivory damage or body size, whereas fertilisation increased herbivory damage and ...

, 1968 A soil burrowing mole is described in which a housing has an auger blade wound around a front portion. This portion is rotatable about a housing longitudinal axis relative to an externally finned housing rear portion upon operation of driving means to ...

Turf track surface interaction with speed and musculoskeletal injury risk in Thoroughbred racehorses
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Injury modelling based on changes in speed and stride characteristics of racehorses has become a primary industry focus for the Thoroughbred racing industry. However, speed and stride characteristics are strongly associated with track condition; therefore, reliable quantification of surface variables for use in future models is ...

Mechanical Properties Of Sediment Determine Burrowing Success And Influence Distribution Of Two Lugworm Species [PDF]
, 2017 We apply new perspectives on how organisms burrow by examining the association of in situ variation in sediment mechanical properties with burrowing ability and species distribution of two sympatric lugworms, Abarenicola pacifica and Abarenicola ...

Ibis, EarlyView.Free‐living birds need to acquire enough food to fulfil their energetic needs, which may require more effort in habitats with less favourable conditions. Therefore, to maintain their necessary energy intake, birds need to adjust their foraging behaviour in response to varying habitat conditions.
