Hummingbirds and the plants they visit in the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, Mexico

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011
We describe the relative abundance, plant species visited, and plant communities used by hummingbird species inhabiting the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, a semiarid area in South-central Mexico.

Group-Theoretical Quantization of 2+1 Geavity in the Metric-Torus Sector [PDF]

open access: yesJ.Math.Phys. 39 (1998) 4824-4848, 1997
A symmetry based quantization method of reparametrization invariant systems is described; it will work for all systems that possess complete sets of perennials whose Lie algebras close and which generate a sufficiently large symmetry groups. The construction leads to a quantum theory including a Hilbert space, a complete system of operator observables ...

Allelopathic effects of Rumex obtusifolius leaf extracts against native grassland species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In perennial grasslands R. obtusifolius (broad-leaved dock) is often surrounded by certain plant species. Thus, it is hypothesized for the current study that Rumex can affect their neighbouring plant species by allelopathic interactions.

Host plant recognition by the root feeding clover weevil, Sitona lepidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This study investigated the ability of neonatal larvae of the root-feeding weevil, Sitona lepidus Gyllenhal, to locate white clover Trifolium repens L. (Fabaceae) roots growing in soil and to distinguish them from the roots of other species of clover and

Impacts of geopolitics and policy on Latin American biodiversity and water resources

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Latin America is a major agricultural producer with important natural resources. Efforts have been made to protect sensitive areas but are hindered by agricultural trade disruptions outside the control of individual countries due to globally integrated crop markets.

Assessment of Australian native annual/herbaceous perennial plant species as asymptomatic or symptomatic hosts of Phytophthora cinnamomi under controlled conditions

open access: yes, 2013
Phytophthora cinnamomi is a necrotrophic pathogen of woody perennials and devastates many biomes worldwide. A controlled perlite-hydroponic system with no other hyphae-producing organisms as contaminants present allowed rapid assessment of ten annual and

Effects of population size and isolation on heterosis, mean fitness, and inbreeding depression in a perennial plant.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2012
• In small isolated populations, genetic drift is expected to increase chance fixation of partly recessive, mildly deleterious mutations, reducing mean fitness and inbreeding depression within populations and increasing heterosis in outcrosses between ...

Functional mapping of seasonal transition in perennial plants [PDF]

open access: yesBriefings in Bioinformatics, 2014
Unlike annuals, all perennial plants undergo seasonal transitions during ontogeny. As an adaptive response to seasonal changes in climate, the seasonal pattern of growth is likely to be under genetic control, although its underlying genetic basis remains unknown. Here, we develop a computational model that can map specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs)

Who Are the Farmers Participating in a Carbon Sequestration Program? Results of a Discrete Choice Experiment in Germany

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural soils offer great potential for carbon sequestration through humus formation. One way to motivate farmers to build up humus is through humus programs. These are still at an early stage of development, poorly explored, and the number of participating farmers is low. Our aim is to explain the heterogeneity of farmers' willingness to
