Despite a generalist life history and a widespread distribution, the Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) has declined by more than 58% since 1970.In Illinois, where this study was conducted, the current rate of decline is 7.03% annually.We hypothesized that low reproductive success in intensely agricultural areas is driving population decline.To te
Nutrient enrichment of surface water bodies is often attributed Laboratory to nonpoint source pollution from agricultural production areas where applied fertilizer has been leached from the point of application.Where this enrichment results in eutrophication of the water body, environmental and/or economic burdens are placed on society to live with
If a greenhouse in the ZANUSSI ZIL6470CB Electric Induction Hob temperate and subtropical regions is maintained in a closed condition, the indoor temperature commonly exceeds that required for optimal plant growth, even in the cold season.This study considered this excess energy as surplus thermal energy (STE), which can be recovered, stored and us
Among the different feed additives studied in poultry production, clinoptilolite, an aluminosilicate capable of adsorbing harmful substances and of improving live performance and egg and meat quality, was evaluated.The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of dietary clinoptilolite and calcium levels on the performance and eg
