Whole genome sequencing of the dzo: genetic implications for high altitude adaptation, sterility, and milk and meat production [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2018 The Dzo, a hybrid between the domestic Yak and cattle found on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau are commercially important owing to increased meat and milk production, as well as their adaptation to extremely high-altitude environments.

Lower Methane Emissions from Yak Compared with Cattle in Rusitec Fermenters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Globally methane (CH4) emissions from ruminant livestock account for 29% of total CH4 emissions. Inherited variation about CH4 emissions of different animal species might provide new opportunity for manipulating CH4 production.

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...

A COMPARATIVE HISTOLOGICAL STUDY ON THE SWEAT GLAND OF CATTLE (B. INDICUS) AND YAK (P. POEPHAGUS) [PDF]
Exploratory Animal and Medical Research, 2014 Yak and cattle are the species of different habitats, but are of the same genus Bos. In order to adapt to different habitats some changes may occur in cellular organizations, sweat gland morphology being one of the part of this cellular organization ...

All Gone to the Dogs: Peasant and Aristocratic Masculinities in a Late Medieval Swiss Revolt
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines chronicle accounts of the so‐called ‘Waldmann Affair’, a revolt within the territories of the city–state of Zurich in 1489 directed against its mayor, Hans Waldmann. The revolt was partly the consequence of failed economic and political reforms which put pressure on the countryside, but was provoked by the command issued ...

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.
