Taxonomic and functional diversity of benthic foraminifera as a promising proxy for tidewater glacier retreat

Boreas, EarlyView.
Ice sheets and glaciers globally are losing mass at increasing rates, with the strongest changes occurring at tidewater glaciers. These are rapidly retreating and often transitioning to land‐terminating with implications for sea level change and ecosystem functioning.

Calving sub-season and reproductive efficiency of beef cows Subépoca de parição e eficiência reprodutiva de vacas de corte

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2010
It was evaluated in this work the effect of calving sub-season on the pregnancy rate of 7,726 multiparous Hereford beef cows grazing on natural pastures in southern Brazil, from 1994 to 2007.

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Informing elephant management through demographic snapshots

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Understanding demography is vital for managing species successfully; however, for elephants, traditional surveys are both costly and labor‐intensive. This study presents a cost‐effective method for estimating age structures of savannah elephants in southern Africa, revealing how water provisioning, density dependence, and fertility control influence ...

The effect of animal-related and some environmental effects on daily milk production of dairy cows under the heat stress conditions

Mljekarstvo, 2022
The study aimed to determine the effect of different fixed factors (breed, region, calving year, calving season, parity and lactation stage) on daily milk production (yield and content) of four dairy cattle breeds under the heat stress conditions (THI≥72)

Introduced dung beetles suppress methane emissions from cattle dung and alter the temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas flux Los escarabajos peloteros introducidos suprimen las emisiones de metano del estiércol de ganado y alteran la dinámica temporal del flujo de gases de efecto invernadero Besouros coprófagos introduzidos suprimem as emissões de metano do esterco bovino e alteram a dinâmica temporal do fluxo de gases de efeito estufa

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Dung beetles suppressed cumulative methane flux from cattle dung by 85% and reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 18%. Beetle activity accelerated initial CO2 release but did not alter total cumulative flux. N2O and NH3 fluxes were transient and not consistently driven by beetle presence.

Analysing Resilience Indicator Traits in Austrian Fleckvieh, Brown Swiss and Holstein‐Friesian Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent studies suggest that variations in milk yield during lactation can serve as a metric for assessing individual resilience, with minimum fluctuations reflecting greater resilience in cows. With automatic milking systems, multiple records can be obtained from many cows on a daily basis. Given that animals are continually exposed to a range

Genetic Relationships Between Residual Gain and Economically Important Traits in Nellore Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable beef production requires identifying animals with superior feed efficiency to reduce environmental impact and production costs. This study aimed to estimate heritability and genetic correlations between residual gain (RG) and growth, reproductive, carcass and feed efficiency traits in Nellore cattle.

A Review of Nonsteroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs for Food‐Producing Animals With a Focus on Potential Applications for Farmed Finfish

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In finfish aquaculture, there are several inflammatory diseases impacting productivity and animal welfare, however there are limited options available to veterinarians to treat inflammation and pain in fish. Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in terrestrial animals raised for human consumption to treat a range of ...
