To avoid predation, many species rely on vision to detect predators and initiate an escape response.The ability to detect predators may be lower in darker light conditions or with darker backgrounds.For birds, however, this has never been experimentally tested.We test the hypothesis that campdraft girth the response time of avian prey (feral pigeon
The decline in soil fertility in agricultural land is a major problem that causes a decrease in the production of food crops.One of the causes of the decline in soil fertility is declining soil pH that caused the decline in the availability of nutrients in the soil.This study aimed to assess the influence of alternative liming materials derived fro
Fenugreek seeds (FSs) are a natural source of bioactive compounds that may modulate the immune system and gut microbiota in broilers.This study examined the effects of dietary fenugreek seed powder on immune-related gene expression and cecal microbiota composition in broilers.A total of SAGE LEAF 144 broiler chickens were randomly allocated to thre
The continuous accumulation of artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) tailings in the Philippines without adequate storage and disposal facility could lead to human health and environmental disasters in the long run.In this study, ASGM tailings was simultaneously stabilized and repurposed as construction material via geopolymerization using c
Community-level UHF/VHF Accessories network studies suggest that seed dispersal networks may share some universal properties with other complex systems.However, most of the datasets used so far in those studies have been strongly biased towards temperate birds, including not only dispersers, but also seed predators.Recent evidence from multi-taxon
