BUTTERFLY DENSITY AND BEHAVIOUR IN UNCUT HAY MEADOW STRIPS: BEHAVIOURAL ECOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF AN AGRI-ENVIRONMENTAL SCHEME.

Butterfly Density and Behaviour in Uncut Hay Meadow Strips: Behavioural Ecological Consequences of an Agri-Environmental Scheme.

Sparing zones from mowing has been proposed, and applied, Bowl to improve local conditions for survival and reproduction of insects in hay meadows.However, little is known about the efficiency of refuge zones and the consequences for local populations.We studied population densities of butterflies before and after mowing in the refuge zone of 15 me

A stochastic model for simulating ribosome kinetics in vivo.

Computational modelling of in vivo protein synthesis is highly complicated, as it requires the simulation of ribosomal movement over the entire transcriptome, as well as consideration of the concentration effects from 40+ different types of tRNAs and numerous other protein factors.Here I report on the development of a stochastic model for protein t

Carbon to nitrogen ratio and quantity of organic amendment interactively affect crop growth and soil mineral N retention

Using organic amendments to improve arable soils in the long term is a careful balancing act of applying amendments with the right carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N ratio) at adequate quantity to avoid nitrogen (N) leaching while promoting or retaining crop growth in the short Zip Jacket term.So far, most studies examining the relationship between C:N
