Retrieving Tree Heights in African Savanna Woodlands Using Three Stage
African savanna woodlands have an unpredictable spatial and temporal variability of woody biomass densities as a result of the interplay of rainfall, soil nutrients, fire, people and herbivores. These woodlands are characterised by heterogeneous species distribution with irregular vertical structures. A large percentage of rural communities in southern Africa rely on communal woodlands to meet ...
متن کاملAfrican mammals, foodwebs, and coexistence.
In the 65 million years since a mass extinction led to the demise of dinosaurs, evolution has generated amazingly diverse and complex foodwebs on each continent (1). These foodwebs contain hundreds to thousands of interacting species, each linked to other species either by feeding on them or by being fed on by them. However, it has been difficult to determine consumer diets across seasons, indi...
متن کاملDevelopment of food preferences.
Using a developmental systems perspective, this review focuses on how genetic predispositions interact with aspects of the eating environment to produce phenotypic food preferences. Predispositions include the unlearned, reflexive reactions to basic tastes: the preference for sweet and salty tastes, and the rejection of sour and bitter tastes. Other predispositions are (a) the neophobic reactio...
متن کاملToddlers' food preferences. The impact of novel food exposure, maternal preferences and food neophobia.
Food preferences have been identified as a key determinant of children's food acceptance and consumption. The aim of this study was to identify factors that influence children's liking for fruits, vegetables and non-core foods. Participants were Australian mothers (median age at delivery=31years, 18-46years) and their two-year-old children (M=24months, SD=1month; 52% female) allocated to the co...
متن کاملFood and Food-Odor Preferences in Dogs: A Pilot Study
Evaluation of food palatability and preference is of great importance to the pet food industry. One common technique for evaluating palatability is a 2-bowl test in which 2 products are offered simultaneously and food consumption is measured. This yields clear results with dogs trained to routinely conduct such comparisons, but it is less clear how this extends to untrained pet dogs. In additio...
