In plants, the production of secondary metabolites is considered to be at the expense of primary growth.Sorghum produces a cyanogenic glycoside (dhurrin) that is believed to act as its chemical defence.Studies have shown that acyanogenic plants are smaller in size compared to the wildtype.This study aimed to investigate whether the small plant size
Aircraft events correspond with vocal behavior in a passerine
Abstract Airports can affect birds by hindering acoustic communication.Here, we investigated the impacts of aircraft events on vocal behavior in wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) breeding one mile from an airport in Ithaca, NY, USA.We identified the number of wood thrush songs between 0500 and 0800 h at various distances from the airport and on da
