Use of sweet lupin (Lupinus albus L. var. Multitalia) in feeding for Podolian young bulls and influence on productive performances and meat quality traits
No full textThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sweet lupin (Lupinus albus L. var. Multitalia)
as a substitute for soybean (Glicine max [L] Merr.) in feed for young Podolian bulls on productive
performance and meat quality. The steers were divided into 2 homogeneous groups and were fed on durum
wheat (Triticum durum L.) straw and a complete pellet feed containing 20% sweet lupin seeds or 16.5%
soybean. Productive performances were similar for both groups. The pH2 values of Longissimus lumborum
and Semitendinosus muscles were both close to isoelectric point of proteins. No differences were shown
between groups regarding the colour characteristics of both muscles or the tenderness of cooked meat. No
statistical differences were found between diets regarding the fatty acid profile of meats, excepting the
significantly higher incidence of linoleic acid in the meat obtained using soybean feed. In conclusion,
comparable results were obtained when soybean was replaced with sweet lupin seeds in complete pellet
feed for Podolian steers
Wild boar (Sus scrofa) damages to mountain grassland. A case study in the Belluno province, eastern Italian Alps.
No full textFive alpine pastures (34±14ha) of the Belluno province, patchily damaged by wild boar, were chosen to investigate on main environmental parameters that might influence the rooting sites selection. Eighty damage sites were examined. For each damage surrounding type of grassland and distance from woodland were recorded and mapped using a G.I.S. software. Proportional availability (% of total pasture surface) of grassland types (rough grass, rich grass, degraded, shrubs and trees) and classes of distance from woodland (120m), and the respective use (% of total damage events) were estimated and compared with Chi-square test. A selection index was calculated as use/availability and Bonferroni confidence intervals (95%) were used to test significance. Degraded pastures and areas closer to woodland blocks were preferred. A vegetational analysis inside and outside the damaged areas showed a reduction in frequency of species producing bulbs and rhizomes, and in Poaceae as respect to other families of lower forage value. Future studies should investigate the role of different root forms, and invertebrate richness, on rooting site selection. Longer term studies are also needed to better define the evolution of pasture botanical composition of damaged areas
An analisis of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) traffic collisions in the Belluno province, eastern Italian Alps.
No full textData of roe deer traffic collisions from 1989 to 2004 in the Belluno province were analyzed to describe patterns of road kills by zone, season and sex and to compare resulting annual trends and sex ratios with those estimated for roe deer population. The province was divided in 2 districts on the base of differences in climate, landscape and roe deer population status. Pearson’s simple correlation was used to investigate the associations, in the two districts, among road kills data, year, population density, traffic index, and snow depth. Bonferroni’s confidential intervals to 95% of significance were used to compare the monthly distributions of collisions between sexes and between districts. In conclusion, the analysis of car accidents may not reflect population trends and sex ratios when traffic rates change and when different ecological factors, others from deer density, influence the probability of deer to incur in a car accident. In addition, differences of accident probability between sexes and months can be found in areas with different landscapes, climates and population structures. These factors should be evaluated in order to manage accident risk and to understand the potential of car accidents records as a tool for monitoring population status

No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
