Abstract We used miniaturized GPS loggers and site observations to access foraging patterns and nest behaviour of the White-tailed Tropicbird Phaethon lepturus (WTTB), an endangered species at its South Atlantic breeding colony. Dual foraging pattern was observed with alternation between long and short f...
Resumen Gleditsia amorphoides (Griseb.) Taub. es una especie arbórea nativa de Sudamérica, conocida por su madera de buena calidad y por los frutos que contienen una goma de utilización industrial.

ABSTRACT The intercropping is an important cultural practice commonly used in pest management. It is based on the principle that increased plant diversity in the agro-ecosystem can lead to reductions of pest populations in the crop. The current study aimed to assess the impact the colored fiber cotton-co...
