Abstract:
... The primary sector is facing a series of challenges such as climate change, overpopulation, freshwater scarcity, energy poverty, urbanization and an ageing population. On top of that, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the sector even more. Extended Reality (XR) is a promising technology that can enable the solving of the aforementioned challenges. The main aim of this study was to analyze the use of ...

Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient element for life, and also a major element involved in the composition of greenhouse gases, surface water pollutants, air pollutants, etc. Quantifying and evaluating the nitrogen budget of a region is very important for effectively controlling the nitrogen discharge and scientifically managing the nitrogen cycle. In this paper, the urban Rural Complex N Cyclin ...

Abstract:
... There is a need to control populations of the termite Nasutitermes corniger and the mite Tetranychus bastosi since they act as urban and agricultural pests. Plant lectins (carbohydrate-binding proteins) have been suggested as a strategy for pest control. Thus, this study investigated the termiticidal and acaricidal activities of a mixture containing three Cratylia mollis seed lectins (Cramoll 1,2, ...

Abstract:
... Species with large local abundances tend to occupy more sites. One of the mechanisms proposed to explain this widely reported inter-specific relationship is a cross-scale hypothesis based on dynamics at the population level. Called the vital rates mechanism; it uses within-population demographic processes of population growth and density dependence to predict when inter-specific abundance–occupanc ...

Abstract:
... In this review, we challenge the perception that behavioral incompatibilities are an important factor driving relinquishment of dogs to shelters. This belief dates at least to the 1970’s, when, in response to pet overpopulation, shelters and researchers began to collect reasons for relinquishment. We review studies on reported reasons for relinquishment, the prevalence of corresponding behaviors a ...

Abstract:
... The Brière equation (BE) is widely used to describe the effect of temperature on the development rate of insects, and it can produce both symmetrical and asymmetrical bell-shaped curves. Because of its elasticity in curve fitting, the integrated form of BE has been recommended for use as a sigmoid growth equation to describe the increase in plant biomass with time. However, the start time of growt ...

Abstract:
... The poleward range expansion of species native to lower latitudes brings them into competition with closely related species with overlapping habitat niches that are native to higher latitudes. If species of southern origin dominate in such interspecific competitions, this may cause a decline in closely related native species. Since 2010, there has been an increase in the distribution and rediscove ...
