TL;DR: It is shown that bird species in terrestrial mixed-species flocks increase foraging rates and reduce vigilance compared to when they are solitary or in conspecific groups, suggesting a role for predation in the evolution of mixed- species flocking.

TL;DR: The paper addresses a distributed power generation system that has evolved at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and the technological and field-related experience pertaining to open top re-burn down draft biomass gasification system coupled with the internal combustion engine or thermal device are brought out.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the findings involved in the development of producer gas fuelled reciprocating engines over a time frame of six years, where the parametric effects of compression ratio and ignition timing on the power output were studied.

TL;DR: The association strengths of species in flocks are found to be strongly related to similarity in body size and foraging behavior and higher for congeneric compared with noncongeneric species pairs, highlighting the need to consider positive interactions along with competition when seeking to explain community assembly.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study of a low temperature and a high temperature industrial heat requirement being met using biomass gasification is presented, and the advantage of bioenergy package towards the economic and environmental considerations is presented.
