Using 151 1-ha plots, we related tree and arborescent palm species richness to carbon stock, timber stock and NTFP abundance across the Guiana Shield, and using 283 1-ha plots, to carbon stock across all of Amazonia. We analysed how environmental heterogeneity influenced these relationships, ...
Correlation analysis between gene expression and a phenotype generally identifies the output genes, rather than the regulators of the output [17]. That is the genes identified are likely to be good indicators of the rate of animal/muscle growth, but are less likely to be the key drivers of ...
The rate of increase of muscle mass is a key parameter in livestock production. Faster growing animals are generally more efficient as proportionally less energy is required for maintenance. However, the rate of increase in muscle mass, or average daily gain (ADG) of muscle cannot be directly m...
