Ants Sow the Seeds of Global Diversification in Flowering Plants
BACKGROUND The extraordinary diversification of angiosperm plants in the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods has produced an estimated 250,000-300,000 living angiosperm species and has fundamentally altered terrestrial ecosystems. Interactions with animals as pollinators or seed dispersers have long been suspected as drivers of angiosperm diversification, yet empirical examples remain sparse or inc...
متن کاملOn the Optimization of Peat Burning Plants
One source of energy, the importance of which has been realized with the advance of increasing fuel prices, is peat, a renewing resource of nature typical for some areas in northern Europe. Because of the comparatively difficult processing properties of peat and the quite short history of efficient development on this area the technology of peat burning plants now needs a systematic programme o...

متن کاملDevelopment and implementation of a team of robotic tractors for autonomous peat moss harvesting
This paper describes the key system components of a team of three tractors in a peat moss harvesting operation. The behavior and actions of the tractors were designed to mimic manual harvest operations while maintaining a safe operating environment. To accomplish this objective, each of the three tractors was equipped with a bolt-on automation package, and a human operator (team leader) was giv...
