The silver spoon hypothesis proposes that individuals which develop under favorable conditions will gain fitness benefits throughout their lifetime. Hatching order may create a considerable size hierarchy within brood and lead to earlier-hatched nestlings having competitive advantage over siblings, has been illustrated in some studies. However, there have few explorations into the effect on subsequent generations. Here, using 15-year-long study, we investigated long-term consequences of...
Constructed wetland technology is regarded as an important ecological restoration and used widely in sewage disposal. In order to give them a wider scope of application improve their performance water restoration, the current experiment was designed. Four aquatic macrophytes (dwarf cattail (TM), yellow-flowered iris (WI), shallot (ST) watermifoil (MS)) were picked planted artificial floating islands (AFIs) different configurations (TM + WI, ST MS TM WI MS) two patterns, radiation pattern...
Animals must strike a balance between anti-predation behavior and other essential behaviors, such as foraging. Within the same species, strategies may vary on individuals' risk-taking preferences, in which process environment is determinant, addition to predator regime. The Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) exhibit tendency. This an endangered once inhabited exclusively China's Qinling Mountain. used be sole remaining wild population. However, over recent decades, this population has expanded....
Foraging skills influence food intake and may therefore also play a role in mate choice decision. Previous empirical work has shown that individuals benefit from being groups include with variety of foraging as this increases success. This idea, formalized the skill-pool hypothesis, extend to choice. Diverse can expand niche pair offspring through enhanced parental provisioning, exposure broader skillset. To test we trained captive female male budgerigars solve one two different novel puzzle...
This paper had selected watermifoil (Myriophyllum veticillatum Linn.), softstem bulrush (Scirpus validus Vahl) and yellow-flowered iris (Iris wilsonii), in showing the water purification through different configuration.AFIs with combination of aquatic plants were set up to purify quality for 50 days.This aimed evaluate chemical vegetative characteristics each type plant also find configuration maximize contaminants removal efficiency by artificial floating island (AFI).The result indicated...
