Phenotypic effects of calving ease on the subsequent fertility and milk production of dam and calf in UK Holstein-Friesian heifers [PDF]
, 2011 The effect of calving ease on the fertility and production performance of both dam and calf was studied in approximately 50,000 and 10,000 UK Holstein-Friesian heifers and heifer calves, respectively. The first objective of this study was to estimate the

Female site fidelity of the Mealy Mountain caribou herd (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Labrador
Rangifer, 2011 The Mealy Mountain caribou population of southeastern Labrador is listed as threatened. Site fidelity - the philopatric tendency of an animal to remain in or return to the same site - has often been suspected in sedentary caribou like the Mealy Mountain,

'Calving laws', 'sliding laws' and the stability of tidewater glaciers [PDF]
, 2007 A new calving criterion is introduced, which predicts calving where the depth of surface crevasses equals ice height above sea level. Crevasse depth is calculated from strain rates, and terminus position and calving rate are therefore functions of ice ...

Viscous and viscoelastic stress states at the calving front of Antarctic ice shelves
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Calving mechanisms are still poorly understood and stress states in the vicinity of ice-shelf fronts are insufficiently known for the development of physically motivated calving laws that match observations.

An empirical analysis of the cost of rearing dairy heifers from birth to first calving and the time taken to repay these costs [PDF]
, 2017 Rearing quality dairy heifers is essential to maintain herds by replacing culled cows. Information on the key factors influencing the cost of rearing under different management systems is, however, limited and many farmers are unaware of their true costs.

Effects of geometry on the seismic wavefield of Alpine glaciers
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 Passive seismology allows measurement of the structure of glaciers and ice sheets. However, most techniques used so far in this context are based on horizontally homogeneous media where parameters vary only with depth (1-D approximations), which are ...

Identification of iceberg-forming ice quakes from seismic and infrasound data
Лëд и снег, 2021 The application of a joint method of recording seismic and infrasound signals generated during ice calving from the terminal part of the outlet glaciers to identify the process of iceberg formation is considered.

Reproductive performance parameters in a large population of game-ranched white rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum simum) [PDF]
, 2017 The population of free-roaming white rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum) is under serious threat. Captive breeding of this species is therefore becoming more important, but this is challenging and often not successful.

Forty-two-year frequencies of river buffaloes calving in the Terecay ranch, Venezuela
Revista Científica, 2023 Although buffaloes are polyestrous, they exhibit a distinct seasonal variation in displaying estrus, conception rate, and calving, greatly influenced by physiological, sanitary, nutritional, management, and particularly bioenvironmental factors, such as
