A very common early-season curveball is the sudden disappearance of bucks from food sources they favored only weeks before. And, for farm country hunters, this often includes foods where bucks were highly visible, like alfalfa and soybean fields. In other areas, food plots and mineral ...
Previous research reported the influence of natal conditions on lifetime reproductive success and lifespan on owls under cyclic food conditions4,36 but not on senescence20. We could not test for the effect of natal conditions, as the natal area was unknown for most of the individuals in the ...
"There aren’t any cameras, feeders or food plots out there," said the retired senior regional director forDucks Unlimited. "Instead, you’ve got to figure out where the deer are bedding, where and what they are feeding on, and how they are moving between those two different locations. ...
Tail length has long been used as an indicator of habitat occupancy, with longer tails associated with arboreality even among closely related species (for example, squirrels57, murine rodents58and field mice59). In deer mice, this correlation was thoroughly investigated by Osgood29, who described ...
In contrast, an increased reliance on plant resources (including Underground Storage Organs, USOs) in the wet season, would allow greater temporal predictability in food acquisition from known resource patches across the landscape. While populations may have moved greater absolute distances to set up ...
Fig. 4. The rod-drill used for perforations, with a type A flint perforator hafted. In addition, two non-lithic borers were used: an antler tip and a steel blade. The antler was sourced from a roe deer. Since it is claimed that in SKC sites antler was mostly worked by scraping and...
for this situation. These plants are typical of open ground, small garden plots, places alongside well-trodden paths and refuse dumps. However the archaeological results indicate that the small island at Nowy Dworek was a kind of wooden platform without the right conditions for such plants, such...
Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of harvest time on fruit quality, yield, and antioxidant potential of the two commercially important mandarin cultivars [Feutrell's Early (early- season cultivar) and Kinnow (late-season cultivar)] on the basis of their...
Plots have a standard size of 10 m² and are either quadratic (3.3 × 3.3 m) or rectangular (5 × 2 m), depending on the width of the sampled area. 2.3.1. Site-Specific Variables We collected site-specific information for each plot including (1) care intensity, (2) type of use,...
Multiple scatter plots were prepared using mean data from all replications (4) for each slope position (Mean ± SEM). Table 1. Soil N2O emissions (g ha−1 d−1) from different slope positions at different sampling dates during early, mid, and late growing season (2019) from Baggs ...
