A population genomics approach to unlock the genetic potential of lablab (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet), an underutilized tropical forage crop by A. Teshome, E. Habte, J. Cheema, A. Mekasha, H. Lire, M. S. Muktar, J. Quiroz-Chavez, C. Domoney, C. S. Jones

“…It is an annual or short-lived perennial forage legume which has versatile uses (as a vegetable and dry seeds, as food or feed, or as green manure) but is yet to receive adequate research attention and hence remains underexploited. …”

The Effects of the Social Hierarchy Destabilization on the Foraging Activity of Eusocial Wasp Mischocyttarus cerberus styx Richards, 1940 (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae) by Vanderlei Conceição Costa Filho, Sulene Noriko Shima, Ivan Cesar Desuó, André Sunao Nishiuchi Murakami

“…Our results showed that the removal of higher-ranked females had higher effect on the number of foraging trips of M. cerberus styx than the removal of lower-ranked females (the number of foraging trips/hour decreased by 66.4% and 32.7%, resp.). …”

Social Learning in Bumblebees (Bombus impatiens): Worker Bumblebees Learn to Manipulate and Forage at Artificial Flowers by Observation and Communication within the Colony by Hamida B. Mirwan, Peter G. Kevan

“…Using artificial flowers, we studied social learning by allowing test bumblebees to (a) see dead bumblebees arranged in foraging positions or (b) watch live bumblebees actually foraging or (c) communicate with nestmates within their colony without having seen foraging. …”

Pollination Requirements and the Foraging Behavior of Potential Pollinators of Cultivated Brazil Nut (Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl.)... by M. C. Cavalcante, F. F. Oliveira, M. M. Maués, B. M. Freitas

“…However, due to the abundance, flower frequency and foraging behavior of floral visitors, it was concluded that only the species Eulaema mocsaryi and Xylocopa frontalis could be considered relevant potential pollinators.…”

I-PD Controller Tuning for Unstable System Using Bacterial Foraging Algorithm: A Study Based on Various Error Criterion by V. Rajinikanth, K. Latha

“…This paper proposes a novel method to tune the I-PD controller structure for the time-delayed unstable process (TDUP) using Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithm. The tuning process is focussed to search the optimal controller parameters (𝐾𝑝, 𝐾𝑖, 𝐾𝑑) by minimising the multiple objective performance criterion. …”

Influence of forage-to-concentrate ratio on the effects of a radiata pine bark extract on methane production and fermentation using the rumen simulation technique by N. Vera, S. Suescun-Ospina, C. Gutiérrez-Gómez, P. Williams, C. Fuentealba, R. Allende, J. Ávila-Stagno

“…This study investigated the effects of radiata pine bark extract (PBE) supplementation on CH4 production, ruminal fermentation parameters, and nutrient disappearance using the rumen simulation technique in diets with different forage-to-concentrate (F:C) ratios. The experimental design was a 22 factorial arrangement of two F:C ratios [70:30 (HF) vs 30:70 (HC)], without or with PBE (2% on a DM basis). …”
