Because sexual reproduction is essential for the establishment and persistence of seagrass meadows, flowering intensity an important trait that influences resilience stability populations. Although effects excessive coastal nutrient loading on vegetative growth have been extensively documented, reproductive phenology remain unclear. To examine responses populations to increased loading, Zostera...

The message, stylistic focus, language and readability of financial reports are good indicators of the perspectives and developments of any company. These indicators can guide companies ̓decision makers to more efficient actions in the dynamic business environment. In this paper, we have studied the language and contents of quarterly financial reports using automated linguistic and text mining ...

HomeBank is a new component of the TalkBank system, focused on long-form (i.e., multi-hour, typically daylong) realworld recordings of children’s language experiences, and it is linked to a GitHub repository in which tools for analyzing those recordings can be shared. HomeBank constitutes not only a rich resource for researchers interested in early language acquisition specifically, but also fo...

Theoretical arguments suggest that increased plant productivity may not only increase consumer densities but also their fluctuations. While increased consumer densities are commonly observed in fertilization experiments, experiments are seldom performed at a spatial and temporal scale where effects on population fluctuations may be observed. In this study we used a natural gradient in soil fert...

We quantified nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) content, use (nutrient amount for one growth year), retranslocation (nutrients recycled before foliage senescence), uptake (use minus retranslocation), volume production per unit of uptake and fertilizer-uptake efficiency (percent applied taken up) in a 2 x 2 (nutrient and water) factorial experiment repl...

The effect of inclusion level on nutrient intake, digestibility, nitrogen metabolism and haematological parameters of West African Dwarf (WAD) goat fed Cajanus cajan as supplement to cassava peels was investigated in a completely randomized design experiment using twenty-four WAD goats with average initial weight of 10.75±0.85kg (March-September, 2016). There were four treatments as: A...

Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal (BSFLM) is a novel fish feed ingredient with high crude protein content (~40% dry matter, DM). However, BSFLM also contains chitin, which might impair nutrient digestibility. To investigate the effect of chitin on digestibility and chitinase activity in fish, different contents were tested as ingredients for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) ...

The fish Sarpa salpa (L.) is one of the main macroherbivores in the western Mediterranean. Through direct and indirect mechanisms, this herbivore can exert significant control on the structure and functional dynamics of seagrass beds and macroalgae. Past research has suggested nutritional quality of their diet influences S. salpa herbivory, with the fish feeding more intensively and exerting gr...
