Abstract: The growth trajectories of trees are not fully understood due to their long life span. We characterized the population dynamics of the canopy tree Castanopsis cuspidata (Thunb.) Schottky in a Japanese warm‐temperate forest over 49 years… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-67965-z
Abstract: The objective was to assess the impact of environmental complexity on affective state (anxiety) in fast- and slow-growing broilers (Gallus gallus domesticus) as they gain weight. Six hundred fast-growing broilers (Ross 708; “fast-growers”) and 600… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects11110742
Abstract: Simple Summary Slugs are important pests. Models to forecast slug populations make assumptions about growth and mortality in response to environmental factors. To refine these models, we studied the effect of hatching season on the… read more here.
