Evaluation of Biosurfactant Property within Plant Probiotic Species

Preference Value Evaluation of Rangeland Plant Species for Kaboudeh Sheep

Study on the livestock diet is one of the main priorities in the management of rangeland in Iran. So, this study was conducted to compare preference values of plant species in three age classes of Kaboudeh sheep (one, three and five year old ones) in rangelands of Bavanat, Fars province, Iran. For each age class, four sheep were selected and their grazing times from different plant species were...

Evaluation of species diversity and spatial distribution characteristics of five dominant plant species in Hamoon wetlands

This research aimed to investigate plant species diversity and spatial distribution of five dominant species i.e. Phragmites australis, Tamarix meyeri, Aeluropus littoralis, Aeluropus lagopoides and Cynodon dactylon in Hamoon international wetlands in 2015. To this end, a randomize-systematic sampling method was used according to w pattern by four strip transect at 5000 m2 at each station. The ...

Plant generalization on pollinators: species property or local phenomenon?

Despite recent increased interest in the frequency and evolutionary consequences of generalization in plant-pollinator systems, little is known on whether plant generalization on pollinators actually is a species-level trait. This paper addresses the following questions for the insect-pollinated shrub Lavandula latifolia: (1) Are different populations of this pollinator-generalist plant similar...
