Validation of aerial photogrammetry methods to measure body size, condition and mass in small cetaceans

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV)‐based photogrammetry provides measurements equivalent to traditional hand measurements in bottlenose dolphins. Mass estimates derived from UAV measurements closely match the true body mass of live individuals.

CALVING INTERVAL AND SERVICE PERIOD OF GUZERAT COWS

open access: yes, 2009
Avaliou-se a influência de fatores de meio ambiente sobre o intervalo entre partos (IEP) e período de serviço (PS) de 280 observações de vacas Guzerá leiteiras, da segunda a sexta ordem de parto, em duas estações do ano (chuvosa - março a agosto e seca – setembro a fevereiro), de 1988 a 1998. As médias e os desvios-padrão de IEP e PS foram de 14,72 ± 2,

The Impact of Feeding Organic Trace Minerals Using Advanced Chelate Technology on Reproductive Efficiency and Blood Parameters in Ghezel Ewes

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Supplementing the flushing diet with organic trace minerals based on advanced chelate technology enhanced the reproductive performance of ewes as compared with inorganic trace minerals. ABSTRACT Background The bioavailability of trace minerals (TM) in a diet is important for improving reproductive performance and fertility parameters.

Fecundity of the Lagune Cow in Benin. Age at first calving and Calving Intervals

open access: yesRevue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2005
Data collected from 1987 to 2003 at the Samiondji farm in Benin were used to study the age at first calving (n = 200) and calving intervals (n = 805) in the Lagune cow. The age at first calving was 1373 ± 180 days (4 ± 0.5 years) and calving intervals were 426 ± 85 days (14 ± 2.8 months).

The American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) as an Apex Predator: Investigating the Ecological Role of the World's Most Abundant Large Carnivore

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Black bears as apex predators. American black bears can (1) produce top‐down effects on ungulates equal to or exceeding those of typical apex predators and (2) modify the spatiotemporal behaviour of other carnivores, including pumas and coyotes. We argue that the term ‘apex predator’ is highly context dependent and not a species‐wide status.

Palaeoglacier reconstruction and dynamics of Cordillera Vilcanota in the tropical high Peruvian Andes

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
We provide a geomorphological analysis of Cordillera Vilcanota and use morphostratigraphic principles to reconstruct palaeo icefield extent and palaeoglacier readvances, likely during the Antarctic Cold Reversal and Younger Dryas. We find evidence of temperate and polythermal ice margins, with limited glaciofluvial landform generation.
