The Cost

The food supply position in the country was visibly comfortable during the period January-March 1962. However, cotton and jute markets were characterised by weak business sentiment owing to lack of adequate foreign demand and in the case of cotton, accumulating stocks at Karachi tended to depress prices. On the other hand, tea prices ruled firm at Chittagong auctions. In the industrial sector, a significant pick-up in production in a number of industries was discernible. At the same time, the short-term money market at Karachi witnessed acute stringency. Considerable increases were shown in money supply, deposit money and bank credit. A slight improvement in the deficit balance on current account was recorded following a larger increase in exports than imports. Meanwhile, there were some increases in the Cost of Living Indices for Karachi, Lahore and Narayanganj.

Good beech-mast crop is important not only for beech forest regeneration but it stimulates population abundances of granivorous animals. Abundant beech-mast crop was observed in autumn 2011 in Beskydy Mts. Mean mass of healthy beech-mast on Kněhyně Mts complex was 92 g.m−2 which represents 390 pieces (pc)/m2. That was why diet supply for granivorous forest rodents, in means of current biomass of beech-mast, was ascertained in 5 beech stands. At each locality, beech stands were chosen to represent Kněhyně Mt. beech forests and differ in age structure and the elevation. Biomass of beech-mast crop collected from the lowest elevation (5th vegetation tier) was higher (as to number of beechnuts/m2) and heavier (g/m2) compared to the highest elevation one (8th vegetation tier). The beech forests from the lower altitude may have a better condition for the beech seeds production. As the granivorous species are peeling the beechnuts, so the peeled diet supply of beech-mast was also stated. This should be considered if calculating diet consumption of particular rodent species.

Argopecten Purpuratus

Argopecten purpuratus was exposed to two different diets which reflected short term variations in quantity and quality of the natural food supply typical in bays of southern Chile. No significant differences of clearance rate were observed over different time periods at either of two food concentrations. The scallop reduced its clearance rate significantly when it was exposed to the higher food concentration. Pseudofaeces production occurred only at this high diet and the time factor had no significant effect on this process. The organic content of pseudofaeces was significantly lower than the organic content of the food, suggesting a pre-ingestive selection mechanism. Based on this capacity for particle selection, A. purpuratus was able to compensate for the differences in food quality of the experimental diets and ingesting particulate material containing 38% organic matter as a result of the selection process when fed at the higher food concentration. Absorption efficiency was lower following exposure to the high food concentration, suggesting that the experimental time of 72 h was not sufficient to acclimate the digestive response to a food supply significantly different from that of its habitat of origin. Phytoplankton form the principal nutritional source for this epibenthic species, and resuspended detritus, although occurring in large quantities, may only be of importance once digestive processes become acclimated to processing them.

Abstract Time allocations of the group-living Tibetan eared pheasants Crossoptilon harmani with and without supplementary food were investigated by full-day sampling from winter through spring in an alpine scrub zone, south Tibet. At a flock scale, both the different food-supply flocks displayed similar daily patterns of activity, foraging in the morning and evening, and resting around midday. In terms of individual activity, either foraging or resting was highly synchronous with the flock’s. Non-provisioned birds spent more time feeding and less resting in midwinter than in late autumn. In early spring as climates became warmer and day longer, however, non-provisioned birds did not decrease their feeding efforts significantly but the provisioned birds did. Across the non-breeding seasons, the provisioned birds (relying on nutrition-rich artificial food) devoted less time to feeding and more to resting than did the non-provisioned ones (relying on nutrition-poor plant roots). Multivariate analysis showed increased food supply and ambient temperature resulted in a reduced foraging effort. However, the fact that the non-provisioned birds can save daily time for resting even in the cold short-day length mid-winter indicated that they faced no energetic constraint. Thus, protecting shelter vegetation rather than providing extra food is suggested to be important for long-term survival of the endangered galliform birds.
