Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Seasonal stability of the rumen microbiome contributes to the adaptation patterns to extreme environmental conditions in grazing yak and cattle

BMC Biology
Background The rumen microbiome plays an essential role in maintaining ruminants’ growth and performance even under extreme environmental conditions, however, which factors influence rumen microbiome stability when ruminants are reared in such habitats ...

Long read genome assemblies complemented by single cell RNA-sequencing reveal genetic and cellular mechanisms underlying the adaptive evolution of yak

Nature Communications, 2022
The genetic bases of yak adaptations to extreme conditions remains elusive. This study compares yak and cattle at a genomic and transcriptomic level, revealing a new type of endothelial cell and candidate genes related with elastic fiber formation in yak

‘Why Did You Go to Buda?’: The Humanist Sodality and Mantuan's Rustic Idyll in Bohuslaus of Hassenstein's Ecloga sive Idyllion Budae (1503)☆

Renaissance Studies, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 609-634, September 2026.
Abstract In the late fifteenth century, the Hungarian royal court at Buda was home to a cosmopolitan community of humanists. In early modern historiography, this cultural milieu has often been interpreted as one of the new, emergent ‘centres’ of the Renaissance in East Central Europe.

Polygenic and Pleiotropic Adaptation of Yaks to High Altitudes: A Genome‐Wide Study of Hematological and Physiological Traits

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Hematological adaptation is critical for oxygen transport at high altitudes. While hemoglobin concentration is well‐studied, yak (Bos grunniens) hematology versus lowland cattle remains under‐explored. We analyzed blood phenotypes from 1244 plateau yaks and 154 lowland cattle.

Effects of Lycium barbarum Residue Substituting Dietary Maize on Fecal Microbiota and Growth Performance of Crossbred Simmental Cattle

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 335-346, August 2026.
The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased

Livestock Depredations and Prevention Strategies to Foster Human‐Carnivore Coexistence in Western Mongolia's High Mountain Systems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The implementation of visual deterrents (i.e., Foxlights) proved to be effective in reducing the number of night‐time livestock depredations by both snow leopards and wolves. ABSTRACT The decline of large carnivores and the overabundance of livestock practices contribute significantly to ecosystem degradation.

Temporal and Spatial Responses of Chinese Red Pandas to Anthropogenic Disturbance in Meigu Dafengding National Nature Reserve, Sichuan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We explored red panda behavioral adaptations to disturbances from both temporal and spatial perspectives. Red pandas favor high‐altitude areas with minimal disturbance and abundant resources. Findings provide a foundation for developing cohesive protection strategies, crucial for long‐term conservation.

Expression profiles of myostatin and calpastatin genes and analysis of shear force and intramuscular fat content of yak longissimus muscle

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2011
The main objective of this study was to reveal the expression profiles of two negative regulators, myostatin (MSTN) and calpastatin (CAST)genes, of skeletal muscle growth in highland yaks (Bos grunniens).
