Evaluation of the effectiveness of blood-drop agglutination test for chicken tuberculosis diagnosis by M. O. Baratov

“…In the autumn period the intestines were affected in most cases (57.2%), lung lesions were found in the least cases (8.2%), and in the spring period tuberculosis lesions were more often detected in the lungs (43.8%), less often in the intestines (35.5%). In the winter period, the morbidity predominantly occurs due to dust infection, and in summer, birds become infected via alimentary route, which explains the results obtained. …”

Combined effects of topography, soil moisture, and snow cover regimes on growth responses of grasslands in a low- mountain range (Vosges, France) by P.-A. Herrault, A. Ullmann, D. Ertlen

“…A low soil water recharge also appears to be pivotal in explaining the probability of browning at the study site. Through the use of winter habitat indices, we noted high responsiveness of low-mountain grasslands to differences in intra-seasonal snow regimes, partly modulated by topographic features. …”

The relationship between the genetic status of the Vrn-1 locus and the size of the root system in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by O. G. Smirnova, T. A. Pshenichnikova

“…It turned out that the VrnA1 gene is associated with a significant decrease in the size of the root system in a winter genotype. The Vrn-A1 gene had the strongest effect on the reduction of the root system in comparison with the homoeoallelic genes Vrn-B1 and Vrn-D1. …”

Impacts of IOD and ENSO on the phytoplankton’s vertical variability in the Northern Indian Ocean by Qiwei Hu, Xiaoyan Chen, Xianqiang He, Yan Bai, Tingchen Jiang, Yu Huan, Zhanlin Liang

“…IOD-linked negative (positive) phytoplankton anomalies at 0–50 m (50–100 m) are driven by the westward propagating downwelling Rossby waves. During winter and spring, due to the local wind anomalies and shallower thermocline, the Seychelles–Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR) is the only region where ENSO exhibits greater positive effects on phytoplankton at 50–100 m than IOD. …”
