Expression Pattern of Seminal Plasma Extracellular Vesicle Small RNAs in Boar Semen

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) regulate multiple physiological processes. Seminal plasma contains numerous EVs that may deliver functional molecules such as small RNAs (sRNAs) to the sperm. However, the RNA profiles in the boar seminal plasma extracellular

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Intensive monitoring suggests population oscillations and migration in wild boar Sus scrofa in the Pyrenees [PDF]

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2013
As few studies have analysed local variability in populations of wild boar Sus scrofa in Western Europe in recent years, our understanding of ecological processes currently affecting this species is limited.

Taxifolin increased semen quality of Duroc boars by improving gut microbes and blood metabolites

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Taxifolin (TAX), as a natural flavonoid, has been widely focused on due to its strong anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-virus, and even anti-tumor activity. However, the effect of TAX on semen quality was unknown.

Beyond Reporting: The Integration of Climate Change and Biodiversity Into Business Strategies and Governance Structures of Swedish Firms and Financial Institutions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyses how large Swedish firms and financial institutions integrate climate change and biodiversity into their business strategies and governance structures. Using unique 2022 and 2023 survey data and logistic probability models, we examine how internal and external factors shape early responses to the EU Taxonomy and the CSRD ...

Authentication of Sumateran Wild Boar (Sus scrofa vittatus) Meat Contamination by Polymerase Chain Reaction Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) Technique of Cytochrome b Gene

Tropical Animal Science Journal, 2018
High population of Sumateran wild boar causes the increasing number of hunting and overflowing of wild boar meat availability in the market at a very low price. This condition leads to the falsification of meat.

THE IMPACT OF SEASON OF BIRTH AND BREEDING OF BOARS OF POLISH LANDRACE BREED ON THEIR INSEMINATION EFFICIENCY [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2014
The effectiveness of breeding boars in insemination depends mainly on the skill of optimal use of their reproductive potential. Nevertheless, their semen is highly variable in its quality and physical characteristics, which makes it difficult to organise
