Effect of Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A. Gray intake on in vivo methane (CH4) emission and milk production in dual-purpose cows in the Colombian Amazonian piedmont
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130498
Abstract
The inclusion of Tithonia diversifolia in pasture-based diets is a promising alternative to increase bovine productivity, due to its chemical compo sition and wide adaptation, but there are few in vivo studies to determine its effect on methane yield and animal production in grazing systems. The objective of this study was to…

Public–private partnership generates economic benefits to smallholder bean growers in Uganda
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130521
Abstract
The quest to transform and hasten the role of smallholder farms in agricultural development and food security through farmer firm linkages has dominated development interventions in low-income countries for several decades. This has mostly been pursued through single- or multi-contract schemes implemented in isolation. Several studies have analyzed the efects of these schemes on smallholder farms…

AVONET: morphological, ecological and geographical data for all birds
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130523
Abstract
Functional traits offer a rich quantitative framework for developing and testing theories in evolutionary biology, ecology and ecosystem science. However, the potential of functional traits to drive theoretical advances and refine models of global change can only be fully realised when species-level information is complete. Here we present the AVONET dataset containing comprehensive functional trait data for all birds,…

Digital map of chemical fertility of soils of continental Ecuador
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130558
Abstract
Digital tools are transforming and accelerating innovation in agriculture. Digital soil maps are important tools for better-informed decision-making supported by data and science. The maps permit addressing site-specific strategies needed by fertile and healthy soils to minimize the impacts of land use change, increase productivity without generating degradation and deforestation, and to deal with climate challenges..

Birds and bats enhance cacao yield despite suppressing arthropod mesopredation
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130569
Abstract
Bird- and bat-mediated biocontrol benefits the productivity of tropicalcommodity crops such as cacao, but the ecological interactions drivingthese ecosystem services remain poorly understood. Whereas birds and batsprey on herbivorous arthropods, they may also prey on arthropodmesopredators such as ants, with poorly understood consequences for pestbiocontrol. We used a full-factorial experiment excluding birds,…
