The threat of population declines caused by pelagic longline fisheries in the Atlantic has increased the concern to find strategies that minimize the bycatch and mortality of non-target marine animals.Gear modification, such as the use of circle hooks instead of conventional J-hooks, has been identified as an effective bycatch reduction strategy in
Sunflower varieties having plants with armored-layer seeds resulted in a high reduction of seed damage caused by larval feeding of the sunflower moth, Homoeosoma electel-lum (Hulst).Several sunflower lines were significantly more resistant to seed damage when the plants had armored-layer seeds than when the same lines had non-armored-layer seeds.Th
Examples of current research into systematic errors in climate models are used to demonstrate the importance of scale interactions on diurnal,intraseasonal Paper Plates and Platters and seasonal timescales for the mean and variability of the tropical climate system.It has enabled some conclusions to be drawn about possible processes that may n
