The adaptation of the animals, either temperate or tropical climate, is mainly related to physiology and its adaptation to the environment. When subjected to different air temperature and air humidity from the usual, these animals found in heat stress difficulty reproduction and production. The...

The Asian Glossy Starling (Aplonis panayensis) has been present in southern Taiwan since 1990. This study investigated the breeding biology of A. panayensis in Kaohsiung City of southern Taiwan from April to August 2000. We found 36 nests, which were constructed using both natural and artificial...

The control of invasive species require a special approach for their management. Aquaculture production technologies may provide viable alternatives for their control. We propose the production and propagation of YY males as a biocontrol method for use with lionfish. This approach uses reproductive ...

Detail survey of population of Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers., an invasive plant species native to eastern North America, were made in three border locations in north-western, northern and eastern parts of the Republic of Macedonia. The surveys revealed an intensive growth and different dense...

The number of feral camels in central Australia has increased significantly since their release. In this paper, different quantitative methods are proposed to analyze the demographic characteristics of the camel population. From limited data, a life table is constructed using an extension of the...

This proceedings contains abstracts of papers and posters presented in the following sessions: (i) New management approaches (including preventive, cultural and non-chemical weed management), (iia) Chemical weed management (including new products and techniques, herbicide-resistant weeds,...

There are 15 species in the genus of Parthenocissus (Krussmann, 1989), some of them (Parthenocissus inserta, P. quinquefolia, P. tricuspidata) were used as hardy, decorative outdoor ornamental climbing shrubs in Hungary (Priszter, 1997; Toth 2012). These invasive plants can spread spontaneously and ...

Monitoring reproductive success and pregnancy checking is extremely important in good and efficient horsebreeding. Although there are several clinical and laboratory methods, that could be used, their usage is limited by availability of the animal and reproduction data and practical experience and...

The invasive species is of global importance. It is recognized as one of the leading threats to biodiversity and imposes tremendous costs on agriculture, fisheries, wetlands, forestry, natural areas, and other human enterprises, including human health. The nature and distribution of invasive...
