Describes chipmunks and their habits. Explains what type of habitat they need and how you can provide habitat in your yard. Includes sources of additional information and “fun facts.”
In the administration of its quota management system (QMS), New Zealand sets a “deemed value” fee that must be paid for any landings in excess of annual catch entitlements (ACE.) The deemed value system is an example of a price-capped cap-and-trade system (Roberts and Spence 1976). This paper argues that...
In 2001, New Zealand modified its quota management system (QMS) to function as a hybrid ITQ/tax system. Catches in excess of annual catch entitlements (ACE) incur payments, called “deemed values”. The deemed value
system was part of the reforms that separated ACE from quota, which reduced transactions costs for both...
Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is a perennial, dioecious species in which the female inflorescence (cones) are harvested and used in the beer-brewing process to impart bittering and/or flavoring to beer. Hop breeders have typically utilized clonal selection and hybridization to develop new cultivars. The use of genetically diverse parents for...
Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is cultivated for the female flowers, or “cones,” which traditionally have been used as a bittering and flavoring agent in beer. Hop breeding historically relied on relatively simple selection techniques within established breeding lines. Supplementing current breeding material with new genetic sources would enhance a hop...
Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var. lupulus) is grown worldwide for the production of the dried female inflorescence (strobulus), or cones, used principally for the bittering and flavoring of beer. Information is scant on the inheritance of traits of economic importance in hop, and present knowledge is based on historical data...
Identification of heterotic groups and patterns among breeding populations provides fundamental information to help plant breeders more knowledgeably manipulate heterosis. A diallel analysis was conducted among nine alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) germplasms, commonly referred to as African, Chilean, Flemish, Indian, Ladak, M. falcata, M. varia, Peruvian, and Turkistan, which represent...
Genetic information for male and female hop accessions is limited, hampering
parental selection to maximize offspring productivity. Our objective
was to determine whether amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-derived genetic distance (GD[subscript mm]) estimates and coancestry estimates from
pedigrees (GS[subscript ped]) between parental pairs could be used to predict offspring
performance....
