Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Long‐term monitoring reveals biomass loss and concurrent dominance changes in coastal zooplankton community

Ecography, EarlyView.
Anthropogenically induced changes in environmental conditions have been affecting species communities globally, leading to shifts in ecosystem functioning. Physical drivers like temperature, salinity and acidification are especially important in coastal ecosystems, and high‐resolution time‐series are essential to identify how these variables affect ...

Anatomical and carcass traits, partition of fat deposits, and meat quality in culled adult goats finished with high-fat diet

Scientia Agropecuaria
The objective of this study was to examine the impact of a high-fat finishing diet on the in vivo performance, anatomical and carcass characteristics, and meat quality of adult culled goats.

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.

The effects of dietary acid detergent fibre content on the performance of finishing lambs

South African Journal of Animal Science
This study investigated the effects of incremental increases in acid detergent fibre (ADF) content on the nutrient digestibility and performance of South African Mutton Merino wether lambs fed low-fibre finishing diets.

Lueyang Black‐Boned Chicken and Black Bean Soup Promoting the Acute Healing of Skin Wounds, Accompanying Special Flavor Substances

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal protein and plant protein make the protein supplement more comprehensive and further optimize the nutritional structure of the national diet. In this study, a “dual protein” Lueyang black‐boned chicken and black bean soup (FS) was prepared.

Monitoring animal movement diversity as a component of biodiversity

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Animal movement is increasingly being quantified in novel ways, with high potential for integration into broad‐scale efforts to monitor biological diversity. Here, we define movement diversity as a form of biodiversity, measuring variation in animal movement from the level of individual animals to communities. We present a framework to develop a common

Effect of Using Nisin and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid on the Bacterial Load, Deterioration Criteria, and Sensory Attributes of Chilled Chicken Cuts

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Evaluation of the efficacy of selected dipping solutions on fresh chicken meat shelf life. Samples treated with nisin and EDTA combinations, followed by chilled storage. The effectiveness of these interventions was assessed through bacteriological, sensory, and physicochemical (pH) deterioration criteria.

Molecular Palaeontology Prospects From Exceptionally Preserved Eocene Brackish‐Water Bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis (Venerida: Corbiculidae) From Hokkaido, Japan

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This study reports the exceptional preservation of the Eocene freshwater bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis from Hokkaido, Japan. Multimodal analyses reveal that both the aragonitic shell mineralogy and the delicate organic periostracum retain their original structural and chemical characteristics after millions of years.

Molecular Investigations on Angiogenesis and Oxidative Stress in Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Bucks' Testes Throughout the Reproductive Cycle

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animals with seasonal reproductive cycles, as the Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), have developed mechanisms to synchronize reproduction with the environmental cycle in order to optimize reproductive success through melatonin. Angiogenesis and oxidative stress are key processes in spermatogenesis, contributing to testicular remodeling and ...
