When Calves Get Vulnerable, Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) Get Bold: A Camera Trap Record of Opportunistic Foraging in a Fragmented Landscape

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We report the first confirmed record of an ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) dragging a newborn calf in a degraded forest fragment of southeastern Brazil. Using camera trap records, we reveal an opportunistic foraging event involving a vulnerable domestic prey within a highly fragmented landscape.

Genomic Analysis of Taurine and Indicine Ancestry in the Montana Tropical Composite Population

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 2, Page 273-282, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Montana Tropical cattle, a Taurine and Indicine composite, were developed in Brazil since 1994 and were based on crossing four biological types of cattle: zebu (mainly Nelore), tropical adapted taurine (mainly Senepol and Romosinuano), British taurine (mainly Angus) and continental taurine (as Charolais, Simental and Limousin).

Quantitative trait locus affecting birth weight on bovine chromosome 5 in a F2 Gyr x Holstein population

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
Segregation between a genetic marker and a locus influencing a quantitative trait in a well delineated population is the basis for success in mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL). To detect bovine chromosome 5 (BTA5) birth weight QTL we genotyped 294 F2

Evolutionary History of the Adult β‐Globin Gene in Wild Sheep: First Sequences From the Argali (Ovis ammon) and the Urial (Ovis vignei)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study addresses a key gap in the understanding of molecular adaptation by providing the first complete adult β‐globin gene sequences for two ecologically significant wild sheep species, the Argali (Ovis ammon) and the Urial (Ovis vignei). ABSTRACT The β‐globin gene cluster is a key model for studying molecular adaptation and gene family evolution ...

Climate factors drive the local adaptation of Old World cattle

open access: yesiMeta, Volume 5, Issue 1, February 2026.
Climate adaptation genomics of cattle. We comparatively analyzed genomic data from 85 Old World cattle breeds/populations of Eurasia and Africa to identify genetic factors associated with climate factors. Environmental genome‐wide association studies revealed 3165 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with strong correlations between climate factors ...

Effects of Liposome‐Encapsulated α‐Pinene on In Vitro Oocyte Maturation and Embryo Development in Bovine Species

open access: yesMolecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) represents a crucial phase in embryo production, often compromised by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Strategies to mitigate ROS are essential to improve oocyte quality. This study investigated the effects of liposome‐encapsulated α‐pinene (Lip‐α‐pinene) on bovine oocyte IVM and embryonic development following ...

Comparison of Bos Taurus-Bos Indicus Breed Crosses with Straightbred Bos Indicus Breeds of Cattle for Maternal and Individual Traits

open access: yesJournal of Animal Science, 1985
Data were analyzed to compare crossbred females produced by crossing exotic Angus and Red Poll males to indigenous Ankole, Boran and Small East African Zebu (Zebu) females with straightbred females of the Ankole, Boran and Zebu breeds at the Ruhengere Field Station in the Ankole District of Southwestern Uganda. Progeny of the straightbred and crossbred

The use of Diathermic Syncope® for stunning cattle

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Animal Health and Welfare (AHAW) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the use of Diathermic Syncope® (DTS) for stunning cattle. A dossier was provided by the applicant as the basis for an assessment of the extent to which the method is able to provide a level of animal welfare at least equivalent to that ensured by ...
