GENOTYPIC AND PHENOTYPIC DIVERSITY DOES NOT AFFECT PRODUCTIVITY AND DROUGHT RESPONSE IN COMPETITIVE STANDS OF TRIFOLIUM REPENS

Genotypic and phenotypic diversity does not affect productivity and drought response in competitive stands of Trifolium repens

Clonal plants can form dense canopies in which plants of different genetic origin are competing for the uptake of essential resources.The competitive relationships among these clones are likely to be affected by extreme environmental conditions, such as prolonged drought spells, which are predicted to occur more frequently due to global climate cha

Records of Isistius sp. (Elasmobranchii: Squaliformes: Dalatiidae), from the Azores archipelago, inferred by fresh bite marks in dolphins

The marine waters around the Azores archipelago have been studied for quite a long time.Deeper areas, however, were historically poorly accessible and only gotrax handlebar now previously unreported species are recorded regularly.Our monitoring efforts of the Azorean ichthyofauna have recently revealed two cases of indirect evidence of the presence
