Picea; Tympanuchus cupido; autumn; grouse; hybridization; hybrids; lowlands; necropsy; planting; tail; winter; Hudson Bay; Michigan; Ontario; Wisconsin
Abstract:
... Greater Prairie Chickens started their range expansion from Wisconsin about 1900. They reached Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, by 1925 and completed colonization of Manitoulin Island by 1945. In the fall of 1932, an irruption of Northern Sharp-tailed Grouse from the Hudson Bay Lowlands occurred. Residents of Manitoulin distinguished the two species and reported the presence of “square-tails” and “sharp ...

Abstract:
...   The parasite load of brown hares (Lepus europaeus) is of great interest to hunting ground managers and veterinarians. We compared the prevalence and intensity of parasitic infections in 362 hares from Austria and the Czech Republic with respect to age and body weight. Samples of the entire gastrointestinal tract, liver and lungs were collected during autumn hunting events in 2007. The paras ...

Abstract:
... At present, about 50% of the young fruit trees is stored for more than one month in cold rooms between lifting in the nursery and planting in spring in the orchard with a maximum storage duration of 5-6 months. Storage of fruit trees requires the absence of ethylene in the storage room, as this gaseous plant growth regulator may induce damage to the trees during storage, which eventually may lead ...

Abstract:
... Changes in land use, especially urbanization, alter the biophysical properties of Earth’s surface, which in turn affects local climate and even contributes to global warming. The observation minus reanalysis (OMR) approach has been widely applied to isolate the signal of surface forcing from observed temperature changes (which reflect all the sources of climate forcings, including surface effects) ...

These bears usually breed in the spring, undergo delayed implantation until late summer or early fall, and give birth in late fall. In other species, the placental protein transthyretin (TTR) has been shown to be essential for early feta ...

Overwintering cover crops can reduce both the density and size of fall-emerged weeds such as horseweed and reduce further spring emergence, although typically cover crops do not provide complete control. Cover crops may be integrated with additional ...

Abstract:
... Using standardized mist-net captures collected over a 32-year period (1970––2001), we examined changes in the capture rates of passerines recorded in coastal Massachusetts during fall (78 species) and spring (72 species) migration. Capture rates of 45 species of fall migrants (58%%) declined significantly between early (1970––1985) and late (1986––2001) years of the study; 36 species of spring mig ...

Many large floodplain lakes are subjected to significant river-lake interactions and could benefit greatly from hydrodynamic modeling. The current work presents a first attempt to use a 3D hydrodynamic model and statistical methods to explore spati ...

Moreover, summer heat stress is considered to impair the oocyte competence derived from smaller follicles; therefore, the impairment of oocyte competence possibly continues into the cooler autumn season. To investigate the thermosensitiv ...
