Ten North Temperate taxa representing diverse angiosperm lineages were analyzed for biogeographic histories using the dispersal-vicariance analysis method to gain insights into the origin and evolution of disjunct distributions in the Northern Hemisphere. Results indicate four general biogeographic patterns: (1) origin and speciation in eastern Asia with subsequent expansion into North America ...

The effect of Lys restriction followed by a repletion period on the performance of growing pigs was studied during 3 feeding phases, each lasting 28 d. A total of 47 castrated male pigs (G Performer 8.0 × Fertilis 25 pigs; Genetiporc Inc., Saint-Bernard, QC, Canada; initial BW of 26.7 ± 2.7 kg) were given each d 70% or 100% of their Lys requirements according to 1 of the following 5 sequences: ...

A Mediterráneumban elterjedt Vulpia ciliata Dumort Európa több országában, jellem­zően vasutak mentén jelent meg az elmúlt évtizedekben. fajt 2016 tavaszán észleltük először Ma­gyarországon, a szolnoki vasútállomáson, majd néhány nappal később Budapest-Keleti pályaudvaron. faj 2020-ban számos más dunántúli vasútállomáson is megtaláltuk, és úgy tűnik, hogy napjainkra ország jelentős részén megte...

Two taxa of cupulate magnoliid fossil flowers, Cronquistiflora and Detrusandra, are described from the Late Cretaceous (Turonian, ∼90 million years before present [MYBP]) Raritan (or lower Magothy) Formation of New Jersey. The fossil taxa are represented by flowers at various stages of development, associated fragments of cup-shaped floral receptacles with attached anthers, and isolated anthers...
