In general, genetic improvement programs for Eucalyptus seek to increase productivity. Diallelic methods are commonly used in crossbreeding designs, but few studies use this methodology to assess competitive ability. The ...

Variation in the foraging strategies used among species is a key factor in determining the trophic structure of ecological communities. Moreover, foraging niche differentiation could be driven by inter-specific competition ...

Toxocariasis is caused by infection of man by Toxocara canis and Toxocara, cati larvae, the common roundworm of dogs and cats. Because larvae are difficult to detect in tissues, diagnosis is mostly based on serology. Non ...

Competitiveness has become one of the main "standards" governing the ever-changing interplay of interests at the international level. Trade liberalization, structural adjustments, the retooling of production, intelligent ...

The present work was conducted with the objective to study the effects of mineral nutrition on Eucalyptus grandis and Brachiaria decumbens (#BRADC) growth, when submitted to inter- and intra-specific competition. The ...

1. Cessation of agricultural practices often leads to a dramatic decline in species diversity concomitant with the increase in abundance of monopolistic species, which have been hypothesized to be strongly arbuscular ...
