Adding to the complexity of the issue is what researchers call the “cocktail effect.” While glyphosate is the active ingredient in many herbicides, crops are often treated with a mixture of agrochemicals. The synergistic effects of these chemical combinations are largely unknown and unstudied, part...
It has been tried by coersion in order to prevent overshoot (one child policy in China). The reasons that it might not be possible to persuade populations to multilaterally stop breeding is that groups which would not abide by a central agreement would gain by it. Also, maximum breeding is...
values were mainly distributed in the eastern part of Zhoushan Island, the southwestern part of Jintang Island, the northern part of Daishan Island, the southern part of Qushan Island, the northern and northwestern parts of Zhujiajian, and the northwestern and eastern parts of Liuheng Island. To...
A stocky, medium sized (40-42 cm in length) forest crow, this sociable bird can be found quite commonly over most of the large island of Cuba and on the nearby Isla de Pinos in woodland and areas that have been cleared for agriculture. It is frequently found around farms and villages w...
Bird species that are both morphologically unique and threatened include the Christmas Frigatebird (Fregata andrewsi), which nests only on Christmas Island, and the Bristle-thighed Curlew (Numenius tahitiensis), which migrates from its breeding grounds in Alaska to South Pacific islands every year...
In my opinion, breeding a chicken to have this long tail is similar to breeding one for a huge breast: both qualities may come at the expense of the chicken, who is rendered dysfunctional in some ways (only in extreme cases with the long-tailed breeds). In one such case, the Onaga...
The island (3°25′S) off the Brazilian coast is exposed to extremely high water energy related to tidal forces (Jindrich1983). Because of unrestricted wave fetch, ocean swell creates heavy surf with a spring tide range of 255 cm (Jindrich1983). The carbonate framework here is composed of ...
