Riparian zones are ecotones between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Processes in streams are strongly influenced by riparian forest communities, age, stage and structure. Temperate forests across much of North America, including riparian areas, are recovering from historic land clearing with many stands in the stem-exclusion phase of development in which...
Autonomy-supportive parenting appears to play an important role in children's executive function (EF) development. However, few studies have accounted for parents' EF skills when examining the link between parenting and child EF in families from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. In the current study, parents and their 3- to 5-year-old children (N...

Nutritional studies with Acetobacter suboxydans indicated that
when isoleucine, lysine, methionine, serine and arginine were singly
omitted from a complete amino acid mixture, no growth was obtained.
However, the organism could grow on single amino acids like glutamic
acid, histidine and proline. No growth was obtained with ammonium
sulfate as...
Most research on military service focuses on its short-term negative consequences, especially the mental and physical injuries of those deployed in warzones. However, studies of long-term outcomes reveal surprisingly positive effects of military service—both those early in adulthood that grow over time and others that can emerge later in life....

The rhythms of emergence, oxygen consumption, and activity
were studied in Megachile rotundata with the object of comparing the
results to the major properties of the biological clock such as temperature
independence, susceptibility to light synchronization, and
entrainment. A further objective was to compare the three rhythms
to determine if...
Development research and policy aim to improve household welfare by improving access to assets and economic opportunities (Besley & Burgess 2000; Deininger et al. 2003). In rural and agrarian contexts, these goals may be achieved by well-functioning markets for outputs, inputs, off-farm work, and credit. The status of these markets...
