Performance of laying hens in a cognitive bias task : effect of time since change of environment por Lindström, Lena

“…It is likely that novelty in itself is positive to hens, and a static environment becomes boring in time even though it is far more complex than a battery cage. No difference was found in the reactions to ambiguous cues by hens of different social status. …”

Diversity studies in the interaction between the anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and its host plant Stylosanthes spp. in Mexico por Gama-López, S., Munaut, F., Vander Stappen, J., Scheldeman, K., Damme, V. van

“…This study is a clear example of how a collaborative, multidisciplinary effort, including the exchange of plant material, allows for the optimal use of existing synergies between different research centres, leading to a better understanding of a complex theme such as host-pathogen diversity. This will permit a better use of the crop’s genetic diversity, and the corresponding resistance genes available, as well as the application of better screening methods for pest or disease resistance, based on a more extensive pathogen diversity. …”

Natural Regeneration After Volcanic Eruptions: Resilience of the Non-legume Nitrogen-Fixing Tree Parasponia rigida por Ishaq, R.M., Hairiah, K., Alfian, I., Noordwijk, M. van

“…We mapped and sampled P. rigida in various locations (upper, middle, and lower elevation positions in ridge-slope-valley toposequences) on the Kelud complex starting 1 year after the latest eruption, estimated biomass development, and quantified P. rigida root nodules in relation to N availability in the ash/soil mixtures in these locations. …”

Analysis of whole-genome re-sequencing data of ducks reveals a diverse demographic history and extensive gene flow between Southeast/South Asian and Chinese populations por Jiang, F., Lin, R., Xiao, C., Xie, T., Jiang, Y., Chen, J., Ni, P., Sung, W.-K., Han Jianlin, Du, X., Li, S.

“…The most prolific duck genetic resource in the world is located in Southeast/South Asia but little is known about the domestication and complex histories of these duck populations.Based on whole-genome resequencing data of 78 ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) and 31 published whole-genome duck sequences, we detected three geographic distinct genetic groups, including local Chinese, wild, and local Southeast/South Asian populations. …”

Genetic diversity and population structure of early and extra-early maturing maize germplasm adapted to sub-Saharan Africa por Badu-Apraku, Baffour, Garcia-Oliveira, A.L., Petroli, C.D., Hearne, S., Adewale, Samuel A., Gedil, Melaku A

“…The STRUCTURE, neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) grouped the inbred lines into four major classes generally consistent with the selection history, ancestry and kernel colour of the inbreds but indicated a complex pattern of the genetic structure. The pattern of grouping of the lines based on the STRUCTURE analysis was in concordance with the results of the PCoA and suggested greater number of sub-populations (K = 10). …”

Healthy soils, healthy plants, healthy humans: A holistic exploration of sustainable intensification effects on farming systems in Malawi por Mathews, M.

“…Specifically by looking at the differences in space allocated to legume intercropping in the form of legume-legume, maize-legume, and doubled-up legume rotations (DLR). Due to the complex and dynamic nature of farming systems, one change in management may lead to spillover effects throughout the entire farming system. …”
