Hairy vetch is used as a cover crop, green manure, pasture, silage, and hay. It is capable of accumulating large amounts of dry matter and nitrogen. When planted alone as a winter cover crop in annual vegetable rotations, it can provide substantial amounts of nitrogen (N) to a following crop.
The linefish sector is one of the 10 commercial fisheries in Namibia. This sector is made up of two subsectors: commercial right holders and angling. The angling subsector is further divided into two types of fishing activities; subsistence angling which serve as a source of food supply and recreational angling...

Studies of δ¹⁸O held in freshwater bivalve shell carbonate are useful for reconstructing paleoclimates and environmental changes and inform interpretations about past human behavior and periods of culture change. Stable isotope analyses (δ¹⁸O) of Margaritifera falcata shells found at the Cooper's Ferry archaeological site located in the lower Salmon River...

Cover crop selection and management depend on many factors, among them the cover crop’s ability to accumulate dry matter (i.e., residues) and nitrogen (N). Dry matter provides energy for soil organisms, contributes to soil organic matter, improves tilth, and acts as a sink for nutrients.
Tobiano is a dominant pattern of white spotting that occurs in certain breeds of horses. This pattern is often desirable and some breeders will purchase a genetic test to help distinguish homozygous from heterozygous horses for breeding purposes. Some tobiano horses have smaller dark spots on the white patches of...

The present study was undertaken to determine, by measurement
of nuclear DNA, the degrees and frequencies of ploidy in the
last larval instar of the moth Galleria mellonella Linnaeus. While
such data have been amassed for a wide variety of vertebrate tissues,
few studies have been concerned with invertebrates and...
