Seed size underlies the uncoupling in species composition between canopy and recruitment layers in European forests
(Elsevier Science, 2019-10)
Increasing evidence supports that canopy richness favors multifunctionality in European forests. Given that recruitment represents one of the main demographic bottlenecks in plant communities, the provision of similar ...
Formation of Cu-rich Nanoprecipitates in Cu Containing Pearlitic SGI
(American Foundry Society, 2020-11-29)
The presence of Cu-rich nanoprecipitates in a pearlitic spheroidal graphite (ductile) cast iron alloyed with 0.82 wt%Cu was studied. The size and distribution of the precipitates were examined by transmission electron ...
Livestock grazing constrains bird abundance and species richness: a global meta-analysis
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-11)
Balancing food production and biodiversity conservation is a global challenge today. Livestock grazing is one of the main activities triggering habitat degradation and land-use change around the world. Its effects on ...
Species richness of marine Bryozoa in the continental shelf and slope off Argentina (south-west Atlantic)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2000-01)
A total of 246 marine bryozoan species was recorded within an area of the south-west Atlantic between 35°and 56°S, and between the coast of Argentina and 50°W. The distribution pattern of benthic stations surveyed during ...
Livestock grazing constraints bird abundance and species richness: a global meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-08)
Balancing food production and biodiversity conservation is a global challenge today. Livestock grazing is one of the main activities triggering habitat degradation and land-use change around the world. Its effects on ...
Effects of grazing intensity on plant richness and diversity: a meta-analysis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-06)
Most of our knowledge of the effect of grazing on grassland structure is based on grazed–ungrazed contrasts. The effects of grazing in the most common scenario, where grazing intensity varies from low to high grazing ...
Bird Diversity in Urban Ecosystems: The Role of the Biome and Land Use Along Urbanization Gradients
(Springer, 2019-01)
Urbanization is an expanding process worldwide, causing major threats to biodiversity through both species extinction and biotic homogenization. Most studies focusing on urban ecosystems have been conducted in temperate ...
The latitudinal diversity gradient in South American mammals revisited using a regional analysis approach: The importance of climate at extra-tropical latitudes and history towards the tropics
(Public Library of Science, 2017-09-05)
The latitudinal diversity gradient has been considered a consequence of a shift in the impact of abiotic and biotic factors that limit species distributions from the poles to the equator, thus influencing species richness ...
Chronic glucocorticoid-rich milieu and liver dysfunction
(Hindaw Publishing Corporation, 2016-09)
We investigated the impact of chronic hypercorticosteronemia (due to neonatal monosodium L-glutamate, MSG, and treatment) on liver oxidative stress (OS), inflammation, and carbohydrate/lipid metabolism in adult male rats. ...
Biodegradable and Edible Starch Composites with Fiber-Rich Lentil Flour to Use as Food Packaging
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2018-07)
Following the new eco-friendly technologies for food packaging, biodegradable composites with edible components as starch, glycerol, and lentil flour rich in fiber (0, 0.5 wt.% and 1.0 wt.%) are developed. The lentil flour, ...
