Foraging Behaviour in Tropical Herbaceous Climbers (Araceae)

The Journal of Ecology, 1992
Climbing aroids grow through the forest, and demonstrate changes in their shoot developmental patterns associated with the changes in microhabitat resulting from displacement of the apex. Through allometric development or metamorphosis, shoots are able to shift growth forms: by altering their mobility, meristems of climbing species may disperse from ...

POTENTIAL OF FORAGE PEANUT IN THE TROPICS

1997
Two of the most important perennial forage species of the genus Arachis (A. glabrata Benth . and A. pintoj Krap. & Greg) have been evaluated by TARS in preliminary trials. Desirable qualities of these forage legumes are (1) high biomass of excellent quality, (2) insect resistance and low disease susceptibility, (3) drought tolerance, and (4) long ...

Foraging for Insects by a Tropical Hummingbird

The Condor, 1971
Evolutionary-ecological studies of tropical plants and animals have illustrated that certain tropical organisms respond to differences between wet and dry seasons. Certain species of trees show distinct flowering and fruiting patterns in relation to the dry season in various regions of Costa Rica (Janzen 1967).

Foraging Excursion and Homing in the Tropical Crab Eriphia smithi

1988
Crabs of the genus Eriphia are large and common Xanthoids, inhabiting most temperate and tropical rocky shores (Reynolds and Reynolds, 1977, Zipser and Vermeij, 1978).

Mathematical models for predicting protodioscin in tropical forage grasses

Toxicon
Protodioscin is a saponin present in grasses that can lead to losses in animal production. Our hypothesis was that mathematical models can accurately and precisely predict the protodioscin concentration in tropical grasses. We evaluated the ability of four mathematical models to describe the protodioscin concentration in Brachiaria and Panicum ...
