Effectiveness of herbivore exclusion fences for plant conservation depends on management strategy and landscape context

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Fences are widely used to restrict or reduce grazing pressure on endangered plant species or communities, and to ultimately ensure their viability. Here, we evaluate what factors determine their effectiveness at a regional scale by assessing ungulate detection (presence/absence) within exclosures and discuss its ecological and conservation implications.

TOWARD A CONJECTURAL HISTORY OF CONJECTURAL HISTORIES

open access: yesHistory and Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most intellectual historians use the term “conjectural history” to designate a new form of speculative history created in eighteenth‐century Scotland by Adam Smith and a few others. These writers traced the development of human society and culture through conjectural reasoning based on philosophers’ views about human nature and travelers ...

Genome‐Wide Detection of Copy Number Variation and Association Studies With Physiological and Anatomical Indicators of Heat Stress Response in Lactating Sows

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indicators of heat stress response are heritable complex traits with polygenic inheritance. Copy number variations (CNV) are important genomic structural variations that may be linked to climatic adaptation by influencing the phenotypic variability of traits related to thermal stress and disease resistance in animals.

Microbial and Genomic Information Synergistically Contribute to Predicting Swine Performance Across Production Systems

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbiota composition represents a promising tool in precision farming, simultaneously serving as a benchmark of environmental challenge, a predictor of animal physiological status, and a direct target for host selection. In this paper, we compared the ability of microbiota composition and genomic information to predict swine performance in ...
