The breeding ecology of White and Japanese Wagtails, Motacilla alba and M . grandis, was studied along a river in central Japan. The home ranges of the two species greatly overlapped along the river, but no interbreeding occurred. M. grandis spent more time on the river than M . alba and defended territories there. M . alba used the river as part of the entire home range, and did not defend the...

Although rain forest is characterized as pyrophobic, pyrophilic giant eucalypts grow as rain forest emergents in both temperate and tropical Australia. In temperate Australia, such eucalypts depend on extensive, infrequent fires to produce conditions suitable for seedling growth. Little is known, however, about constraints on seedlings of tropical giant eucalypts. We tested whether seedlings of...

This study aimed to compare the antioxidant content and antioxidant capacity of pulp and peel of two varieties of pomelo fruit (Tambun White and Tambun Pink). Antioxidants including total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and ascorbic acid content were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent assay, aluminium chloride colorimetric assay and AOAC method, respectively. Antioxidant capacit...

The characteristic parameters of Citrus grandis var. Longanyou canopies are important when measuring yield and spraying pesticides. However, the feasibility canopy reconstruction method based on point clouds has not been confirmed with these canopies. Therefore, LiDAR cloud data for C. were obtained to facilitate management groves this species. Then, a cloth simulation filter European clusterin...
