This article studies the influence of cleaning or thinning intensity and of coppice age at the time of silvicultural treatment, on the growth of shoots remaining on the stool, in Quercus ilex coppices. Two experimental designs were used to answer these questions. The first studied the effect of two
North American gypsy moths disperse as newly hatched larvae on wind currents in a behavior called ballooning. Because ballooning occurs before neonates begin to feed, resources used in dispersal are limited to those carried over from the egg. We show that nutritional experience of the maternal paren
Calcium intake by wild rodents varies with season and habitat. This may have important ecological consequences; several studies have suggested that calcium availability may limit growth and reproduction. We studied the effect on growth of varying the calcium intake of captive wood mice Apodemus sylv
