Unionicola poundsi and U. lasallei are recognized as closely related, morphologically distinct species of water mites living in symbiotic association with the mussels Villosa villosa and Uniomerus declivus, respectively. However, results of a transplant experiment suggested that the morphological characters used to separate these species are plastic and are influenced by the host species in whi...

Green manure (GM) is widely adopted for agricultural productivity and sustainability. The present study supplemented the GM effect with that of water retaining agent (WRA) to enhance sustainability tobacco planting purple soils in Sichuan Province, China. employed three legumes varieties (Trifolium repens, Vicia villosa Medicago sativa), while WRA used was polyacrylamide at different applicatio...

Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) is the second most cultivated worldwide being used as a forage and cover crop. As it not domesticated, displays several wild traits including seed dormancy. The physical dormancy (PY) variation could be useful depending on specific context. High PY desirable for ley farming systems, while low needed to prevent weediness in subsequent crop rotations. Gene flow be...

Cover crops (CCs) are known to influence water infiltration just prior termination, but their effects on over time less known. This study investigated the of CCs in situ CC termination (during April) and again 2 mo after June). The multi-species mixture used included hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.), crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum peas (Lathyrus hirsu...

The mammalian accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) is chemoarchitecturally heterogeneous in that it stains differentially with a number of markers; the receptor cells that project to the AOB are similarly heterogeneous. What is the significance of this heterogeneity? We have found that the AOB of the gray, short-tailed opossum, Monodelphis domestica, stains differentially with a number of 'markers': ...
