Disentangling the dynamics of energy allocation to develop a proxy for robustness of fattening pigs
BackgroundThere is a growing need to improve robustness of fattening pigs, but this trait is difficult to phenotype. Our first objective was to...

Shifts in energy allocation and reproduction in response to temperature in a small precocial mammal
BackgroundSpecies adjust to changes in temperature and the accompanying reduction in resource availability during the annual cycle by shifts in...

An Overview of Reproductive Allocation and Reproductive Costs in Bryophytes: Challenges and Prospects
Reproductive allocation and cost play a crucial role in the survival of organisms, but research on these traits in bryophytes has been limited and...

Reduced belowground allocation of freshly assimilated C contributes to negative plant-soil feedback in successive winter wheat rotations
AimsSuccessive winter wheat (WW) rotations are associated with yield reduction, often attributed to the unfavorable soil microbes that persist in the...
-
Herbivore population dynamics in response to plant allocation strategies
When herbivores feed, plants may respond by altering the quantity of edible biomass available to future feeders through mechanisms such as...
-
A dynamic state variable model suggests a stronger effect of age than individual energetic state on reproductive allocation in burying beetles
Evolutionary fitness is determined by how an organism allocates energy, or other limited resources, to reproduction during its lifetime. For...

Sex-specific Resource Allocation in Juvenile and Adult Salix myrtillacea
Dioecious plants are ideal models for studying resource allocation. In Salicaceae, most previous studies have focused on juvenile trees, but it is...

Tracking nitrogen allocation to proteome biosynthesis in a marine microbial community
Microbial growth in many environments is limited by nitrogen availability, yet there is limited understanding of how complex communities compete for...
-
Exploring grazing intensity effects: nitrogen uptake in grassland species and soil carbon allocation
Background and aimsGrazing drives carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics of grasslands through livestock trampling, defoliation, and excretion. Still,...

Phosphorus Availability Mediates Grazing Impacts on Resorption and Allocation of Foliar Nitrogen and Phosphorus by Dominant Species in Semiarid Grasslands
Nutrient resorption and relative allocation of nutrient to younger leaves are important mechanisms of resource conservation and utilization for...

Time allocation to balance group living trade-offs in Ethiopian wolves
Living in groups requires individuals to make trade-offs to maintain group cohesion and enhance individual and inclusive fitness. One way animals can...
-
Mycorrhizal C/N ratio determines plant-derived carbon and nitrogen allocation to symbiosis
Carbon allocation of trees to ectomycorrhizas is thought to shape forest nutrient cycling, but the sink activities of different fungal taxa for host...

Effects of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Limitation on the Growth and Phosphorus Allocation of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)
As phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting elements for crop growth and development, investigating the P allocation strategy of legume species...
-
Physiological and morphological assessments suggest opposite structural allocation strategies between closely related invasive clams
Respiration is a central physiological function related to the rates of energy acquisition, transformation, and use by organisms, while allometric...
-
Sha** bacterial gene expression by physiological and proteome allocation constraints
Networks of molecular regulators are often the primary objects of focus in the study of gene regulation, with the machinery of protein synthesis...

Starch serves as an overflow product in the regulation of carbon allocation in strawberry leaves in response to photosynthetic activity
The carbon allocation in source leaves between sucrose and starch is an important mechanism that affects plant productivity. We previously found that...

Performance and efficiency in leaf transport: unveiling the task allocation puzzle in Acromyrmex subterraneus
The performance of ant workers in a given task can be highly variable, generating a non-homogenous workload in the colony. However, there is no...

Molecular mechanisms of task allocation in workers of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta
The red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta is an invasive pest in the USA, eastern Asia, and Australia that causes billions worth of damage where...

Cellular Energy Allocation of Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) treated with Flubendiamide and Thiocyclam Hydrogen Oxalate on Different Tomato Cultivars
The tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), is the most important pest for tomato production in Iran. The effect of flubendiamide and thiocyclam...
