Caught basking in the winter sun: Preliminary data on winter thermoregulation in the Ethiopian hedgehog, Paraechinus aethiopicus, in Qatar
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
Biologists focus on thermoregulation of desert mammals in terms of how they minimize heat gain, and put less effort on how they maximize heat gain during the cooler months. Heat gain may contribute to significant energy ...
Estimating the production and mortality of fine roots using minirhizotrons in a Pinus densiflora forest in Gwangneung, Korea
(
Northeast Forestry University
, 2016 , Article)
The aim of this study was to estimate fine root production (FP) and fine root mortality (FM) at 0–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm soil depths using minirhizotrons in a 75-year-old Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. forest located in ...
Habitat-specific benthic metabolism in a Mediterranean-type intermittent stream
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Article)
A modified flow-through chamber method was used to measure gross primary production (GPP), net primary production (NPP), community respiration (CR) and associated environmental variables in an intermittent Mediterranean-type ...
Observations on the postnatal growth and development of captive Ethiopian hedgehogs, Paraechinus aethiopicus, in Qatar
(
Walter de Gruyter GmbH
, 2016 , Article)
The postnatal growth and development of the Ethiopian hedgehog (Paraechinus aethiopicus) were studied in captivity. Seven females produced seven litters that ranged between two and five young (average 3.3, SE±0.42) with ...
Impact of thinning on carbon storage of dead organic matter across larch and oak stands in South Korea
(
SISEF - Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology
, 2016 , Article)
Dead organic matter is important in carbon (C) sequestration because it accounts for a significant proportion of forest C storage. As thinning could alter the C storage of dead organic matter, this study aimed to assess ...
An Analysis of the Comprehensive Implementation of Strategic Plans in Emerging Economies: The United Arab Emirates as a Case Study
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2016 , Article)
Despite the potentially important impact of strategy implementation on organizational performance, relatively little has been discovered so far about its antecedents and consequences. This study aims to help fill this gap ...
Antagonistic Effects of Trichoderma harzianum Isolates against Ceratocystis radicicola: pioneering a Biocontrol Strategy against Black Scorch Disease in Date Palm Trees
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Date palm is an important subsistence crop in arid regions due to its ability to grow under adverse environmental conditions such as high temperature, salinity and drought. Nevertheless, ideal conditions for its growth and ...

(
Triveni Enterprises
, 2016 , Article)
The sex ratio, gonad development and fecundity of Miyakella nepa (Latreille, 1828), in the coastal waters of Pantai Remis, Perak, were investigated from February 2012 to January 2013. Sex identification was done by identifying ...
Effect of a bacteriophage cocktail in combination with modified atmosphere packaging in controlling listeria monocytogenes on fresh-cut spinach
(
Teagasc
, 2016 , Article)
A Listeria monocytogenes-specific bacteriophage cocktail was evaluated for its activity against a nalidixic acid-resistant L. monocytogenes (Lm-NalR) isolate on fresh-cut spinach stored under modified atmosphere packaging ...
Effects of experimental warming on soil respiration and biomass in Quercus variabilis Blume and Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. seedlings
(
Springer-Verlag France
, 2016 , Article)
Key message: In the open-field warming experiment using infrared heaters, 3C warming affected soil respiration more in the deciduousQuercus variabilisBlume plot than in the evergreenPinus densifloraSieb. et Zucc. plot, but ...
