There is an urgent need for sustainable animal production systems. A system or procedure is sustainable if it is acceptable now and if its expected future effects are acceptable, in particular in relation to resource availability,... more
Herbivory is a fundamental process that controls primary producer abundance and regulates energy and nutrient flows to higher trophic levels. Despite the recent proliferation of small-scale studies on herbivore effects on aquatic plants,... more
Food resources of the straw-colored fruit bats Eidolon helvum (Kerr, 1792), a near-threaned species in Abidjan-Plateau were studied from August 2007 to July 2008. Faeces collection under sleeping trees and direct observations were made in... more
Changes in climate, food abundance and disturbance from humans threaten the ability of species to successfully use stopover sites and migrate between non-breeding and breeding areas. To devise successful conservation strategies for... more
Aquatic environments can be restricted with the amount of available food resources especially with changes to both abiotic and biotic conditions. Mosquito larvae, in particular, are sensitive to changes in food resources. Resource... more
The fauna inhabiting a small area (ca. 5 cm x 5 cm) were investigated in a Scots pine stand. After microstratification of the litter layers in the field and fixation in 95% ethyl alcohol, invertebrates, mainly mesofauna, were sorted under... more
Litter and soil communities of Collembola (Insecta, Apterygota) in a mixed deciduous forest in France were studied for four years after experimental litter removal and doubling. Total abundance was unaffected by these two treatments but... more
