Genetic diversity of wild stone fruit species: specific aspects of <i>ex situ</i> conservation by G. V. Eremin, V. G. Eremin, I. S. Chepinoga, T. A. Gasanova

“…Many years of field research into ex situ conservation of introduced wild species proved the efficiency of stone fruit cultivation in tub culture and a modified technique of dense planting with crown formation according to the “border-hedge” pattern. It takes into account biological characteristics of genotypes shaped in natural areas, the use of own-root or grafted plants on clonal rootstocks of various growth rates depending on their life form (tree or shrub), resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors, soil and terrain requirements, and the tasks posed before researchers. …”

A qualitative exploration of owner experiences following dog adoption by Bethany Joy Moyer, Helen Zulch, Beth Ann Ventura, Oliver Burman

“…Future research should incorporate a longer time-frame to better understand how and when dogs adjust to a home, and as there is variation in dog behaviour during adjustment, it must also account for individual differences. As we develop a better understanding of how to characterise this period, adopters can be better prepared for the initial months of dog ownership, and interventions can be individualised to improve owner experience and dog welfare.…”
