Invited Review: Connecting the dots—Calving difficulty, age at first calving, and enhanced cow production*

open access: yesApplied Animal Science
Purpose: We aimed to explore the relationships among calving difficulty (CD), production traits, age at first calving (AFC), and culling in dairy cattle. Sources: Data from 687 US dairy farms, encompassing 1,048,574 CD observations scored from 1 to 5, were analyzed. Scores of CD 5 were adjusted to 4 due to limited interactions with other variables.

Flow‐pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet indicated by the subglacial lineation record over Norway, Sweden and Finland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...
