Studying animals under natural or semi-natural conditions is essential to better understand the implications of a warming climate on species survival. Here, we provide evidence effects increasing winter ambient temperature (Ta) thermal physiology, feeding behaviour and body mass (BM) small mammalian hibernator, hazel dormouse Muscardinus avellanarius. We collected skin temperature, metabolic ra...

The efficiency of recurrent selection depends, among other factors, on the estimation parameters that guide breeder to obtain genetic gains for multiple traits. aim this research was estimate and phenotypic maize populations during third cycle traits interest. CRE-01 CRE-02, potential resistance corn stunt, were described using variance components, heritability, variation indices correlation be...

• Hazel leaves are highly palatable to cows even at 400 g/kg dietary dry matter. Milk yield is maintained with increasing hazel leaves. Methane emission was reduced, but clearly so only high levels. substantially shifted volatile urinary nitrogen the faeces. No favourable associative effects in methane and urine losses occurred. Various feeds for ruminants have been identified that help mitigat...

It is usually assumed that ‘fire hardening’ the tips of spears, as practised by hunter–gatherers and early Homo spp., makes them harder and better suited for hunting. This suggestion was tested by subjecting coppiced poles of hazel to a fire-hardening process and comparing their mechanical properties to those of naturally seasoned poles. A Shore D hardness test showed that fire treatment slight...

The early history of the esoteric phenomenon of thymineless death (TLD) is recounted, from the pioneering discovery by Seymour Cohen and Hazel Barner, through my graduate studies at Yale and postdoctoral research in Copenhagen. My principal contribution was the discovery that restricted synthesis of protein and RNA permits cultures of Escherichia coli to complete their DNA replication cycles wi...

Pine, grape and witch hazel byproducts are rich sources of polyphenols. From extracts (OW) soluble in both ethyl acetate and water we have generated a collection of fractions differing in percentage of pyrogallol groups. The mixtures were highly active as free radical scavengers against DPPH. The phenolics protected red blood cells from free radical induced hemolysis and were mildly cytotoxic t...
