Serum proteins are essential for maintaining osmotic pressure, regulating pH, transporting metabolites, and supporting immune responses. Studying the effects of plant-based diets on these proteins is crucial to understanding their impact on fish health and immune function. Methods: This study was conducted in a recirculation system, with rainbow trout distributed across nine tanks and fed three diets: fishmeal (control), mediu...
Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
To gain a better understanding on the trophic ecology of New Granada sea catfish, Ariopsis canteri , and their linkage to mangroves, nitrogen and stable carbon isotopes (δ 15 N and δ 13 C), as well as Bayesian mixing models, were used to explore trophic dynamics and potential ontogenic feeding shifts across different size classes: class I (8–20 cm), class II (21–32 cm) and class III (>32 cm). The study area was the estuary of...
Markedly divergent estimates of A mazon forest carbon density from ground plots and satellitesNARA Subscribed
Aim The accurate mapping of forest carbon stocks is essential for understanding the global carbon cycle, for assessing emissions from deforestation, and for rational land‐use planning. Remote sensing ( RS ) is currently the key tool for this purpose, but RS does not estimate vegetation biomass directly, and thus may miss significant spatial variations in forest structure. We test the stated accuracy of pantropical carbon maps...
Energy Intensities and Carbon Dioxide Emissions in a Social Accounting Matrix Model of the Andalusian EconomyNARA Subscribed
Summary The aim of this article is to calculate energy intensity and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions in Andalusia, the largest and most populated region of Spain. Energy intensities for five energy commodities used in production activities are calculated using a social accounting matrix (SAM) model with three alternative scenarios, each utilizing differing closure rules. More interestingly, by using 2005 data and updating the...
