Mechanisms of Movement Patterns: Physiology and Sex Influence Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Movement

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study tested physiological mechanisms of movement patterns in Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) by using autonomous GPS loggers. Total distance traveled, but not home range area, was physiologically limited. Females traveled the same distance as males, but had smaller home range areas, which challenges traditional understanding of sex‐based ...

Economics of boar taint prevention without surgical castration in the pork chain

, 2010
An economic analyses of boar taint prevention without surgical castration is lacking. This paper explores currently feasible alternatives to surgical castration along the pork chain.

All roads lead to infection: A mechanistic model to assess transmission routes of brucellosis in a wild ungulate population

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2158-2172, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wildlife and domestic populations frequently share diseases with a potential for cross‐species transmission, posing significant threats to animal and human health, economy and biodiversity conservation.

Feed interventions and skatole deposition

, 2012

Molecular genetic analysis of boar taint

eng: Boar taint is an unpleasant smell and taste of pork meat derived from some entire male pigs. The main causes of boar taint are the two compounds androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) and skatole (3-methylindole).

In vivo effect of dried chicory root (Cichorium intybus L.) on xenobiotica metabolising cytochrome P450 enzymes in porcine liver

, 2011
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are widely studied for their involvement in metabolism of drugs and endogenous compounds. In porcine liver, CYP1A2,2Aand 2E1 are important for the metabolism of skatole.Feeding chicory roots to pigs is known to decrease the ...

Analytical approach to unravel boar taint contributing compounds

, 2013
Boar taint is an off-odour and off-flavour that can occur when meat or fat from entire males is heated. The main compounds responsible for this odour are skatole and androstenone and to a lesser degree indole.

Consumer response to the possible use of a vaccine method to control boar taint v. physical piglet castration with anaesthesia: a quantitative study in four European countries

Animal, 2011
In most European countries, male piglets being reared for meat are physically castrated without anaesthesia in order to avoid boar taint and to safeguard sensory meat quality.
