Crops consequently needed to adapt to different daylengths, which Diamond suggested would result in domesticates spreading more slowly in the Americas than in Europe or Asia.
Honey bees are both a model system in behavioural genomics, and the dominant managed pollinator of human crops; consequently understanding the mating process has both pure and applied value.
As the rural population expanded, however, fallow periods became shorter, and soil fertility and crop yields consequently suffered.
Besides, corn is a globally spread crop, and consequently, corn stover becomes available as renewable source for reinforcing fibers.
Transgenic oilseed rape is only recently become available and is transported in much smaller quantities than the conventional crop, and consequently has a lower incidence in railway ruderal habitats.
Crop varieties consequently experienced strong selection at genes controlling agronomically important traits.
There has been drought in the US, poor rainfall in Russia and South America and a dry monsoon in India, all of which have had a major impact on the world's most important food crops and consequently food prices.
Therefore, the decrement of winter precipitation and the corresponding increment in potential evapotranspiration is expected to significantly stress the availability of water resources during winter in two ways: (a) decrement in groundwater recharge and (b) increment in potential evapotranspiration not only for non-cultivated areas but also for winter crops, and consequently increased water needs.
Supermarket produce, on the other hand, usually hails from large industrial operations that apply more pesticides and fertilizers to crops and, consequently, the surrounding lands and waterways.
It may also result in a significant shift in orangutan diets, from wild species to greater reliance on cultivated crops, and consequently influence ranging behaviour and the management strategies adopted for mitigating conflicts.
