Recently Evolved, Stage‐Specific Genes Are Enriched at Life‐Stage Transitions in Flies
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.We discovered that 20%–30% of protein‐coding genes in Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes aegypti are only expressed during specific stages of development. Surprisingly, many of these stage‐specific genes are newly evolved, unique to flies and mosquitoes, shedding light on how insect development has evolved over time.

Insects as sustainable source of feed for poultry
JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Production of animal feed in an environmentally effective way is the key point for the development of sustainable agriculture. The livestock farming industry is increasing globally to meet the demand for animal protein, resulting in higher food–feed competition while rationing animal diets. In addition, it creates increased pressure on natural

USDA yield grades and various carcass traits as predictors of carcass composition
Meat Science, 1985 Twenty-five carcasses from each of three breedtypes (Brahman, Angus and Brahman × Angus) were physically separated into fat, lean and bone. Several muscles from the round and the femur were used to derive equations to predict carcass composition and muscle-to-bone ratio. The femur (as a percentage of the carcass) was shown to predict percentage carcass

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Wildlife‐aircraft collisions are a growing concern. This study at Dublin Airport investigated the secondary strike risk posed by scavengers using simulated hare‐strike events. Results showed that birds, especially hooded crows, detected carcasses faster than mammals, supporting the effectiveness of current rapid clean‐up protocols in minimizing ...

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Climate‐induced flow alteration is decreasing snowpack and advancing snowmelt, subjecting mountain streams to longer low‐flow periods. Yet, anticipating how stream ecosystems respond to prolonged low flows remains challenging because distinct trophic levels can respond differently, and non‐native predators can dampen or amplify responses. Here,

Seasonally migrating zooplankton strongly enhance Southern Ocean carbon sequestration
Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract High‐latitude zooplankton can sequester millions of tons of carbon due to their seasonal migration from the surface ocean to depth, and their respiration and mortality during overwintering. This seasonal vertical migration pump (SVMP) efficiently removes carbon but not limiting nutrients such as iron from the surface layers.

The conventional carcass evaluation and the carcass dissection analysis of pigs
Agricultural and Food Science, 1971 The information provided by conventional carcass evaluation concerning the carcass quality established by analyses of dissection was investigated on progeny testing pigs (n = 153). After conventional carcass evaluation, the left half of the carcass was cut up.

Roadkill risk in European birds: the role of detection and plumage colouration
Oikos, EarlyView.Wildlife–vehicle collisions (WVCs) are a significant cause of mortality among European birds. This poses a threat to the conservation of birds because pervasive human‐related structures, such as road networks, are expected to expand over the continent in the next few decades.
