Evaluation of the Dry Matter Remobilization to Seeds in Winter Rapeseed Cultivars under Drought Stress Conditions

In order to evaluate dry matter remobilization to seeds in the winter type rapeseed cultivars grown under drought stress conditions, an experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design arranged in a split plot with three replicates in Shahre-Qods, Iran, in the 2011-2012 growing season. Irrigation treatments including control (irrigation after 80 mm evaporation from evaporatio...

The Autumn Passage of Yellow-bellied Flycatchers in South Texas'

The possession of a suitable spot on the wintering grounds may be important for an individual's survival in migrant species showing territoriality in the nonbreeding season (e.g., Rappole et al. 1989, Winker et al. 1990). If the earliest arrivals are favored in securing the best winter territories (e.g., Smallwood 1988), then selection might favor individuals who quickly return to wintering are...
