Native and Alien Ungulates in North America: Potential for Restoring Herbivore Diversity and Functions

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Large herbivores play key roles in ecosystems by promoting plant diversity, dispersing seeds, regulating nutrient cycling, and shaping vegetation structure. Since the Late Pleistocene, their declines have led to profound ecosystem changes. While often viewed as problematic, alien herbivores may partly compensate for these losses; yet their

An Increase in Male Recombination Rate With Age in Dairy Cattle Is Heritable and Polygenic

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 35-49, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Meiotic recombination is an essential process for shuffling genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms, can vary within and between individuals in response to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and can be heritable. Interestingly, recombination rate has been found to vary with age in some species, but to date, there have been no ...

Genetic Parameters of Resilience Indicators Across Growth in Beef Heifers and Their Associations With Weight, Reproduction, Calf Performance and Pre‐Weaning Survival

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 79-91, January 2026.
ABSTRACT In tropical extensive beef cattle systems, heifers raised on pasture are exposed to various environmental challenges that affect their growth and reproductive performance during the first breeding. Resilience indicators derived from deviations in longitudinal traits can quantify the magnitude of these challenges and the ability of an animal to

Chromosome‐Level Genomics and Historical Museum Collections Reveal New Insights Into the Population Structure and Chromosome Evolution of Waterbuck

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Advances in sequencing and chromosome‐scale assembly have brought non‐model animals into focus, deepening our understanding of genome and chromosome evolution. Here, we present the waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) as an emerging model antelope for studying population dynamics and chromosome evolution.
