Pest outbreaks in tropical forest plantations: is there a greater risk for exotic tree species?
Publicado 2001“…It is concluded that the following factors determine the risk of pest outbreak in exotic monoculture plantations: (1) presence or absence of plant species closely related to the exotic; (2) extent of area under the exotic species; (3) genetic base of the planted stock; (4) distance from the native habitat of the exotic; (5) existence of serious pests in the native habitat of the exotic; (6) time elapsed since introduction; (7) chemical profile of the exotic species; and (8) innate biological attributes of the insects associated with a tree species. …”

A description of growth, carcass and reproductive traits of Sabi sheep in Zimbabwe
Publicado 2003“…A total of 4355 lamb and 4299 ewe records, obtained from Sabi sheep of Zimbabwe from 1984 to 1994, were analysed to describe growth, carcass and reproductive traits and to investigate non-genetic factors influencing their expression. Year of birth, sex, birth/rearing status of lamb, dam age, age of lamb and slaughter age were significant sources of variation for body weights, average daily gain, carcass and reproductive traits except for age (P>0.05) of lamb at 18 months of age, and ewe age for hot and cold carcass weight (HCW and CCW). …”
