Changes in plant flammability-related traits to fire regime characteristics and biomass conditions in the Cerrado. [PDF]

Am J Bot
(A) Plant flammability‐related traits according to fire frequency and fire history in open savannas of the Cerrado. (B) The relationships between biomass conditions with flammability components. Abstract Premise Flammability‐related traits in open savanna plant communities may shift in response to fire frequency (high vs. low) and history (recently vs.

The Type of Confinement (Outdoor Soil-Bedded vs. Compost Barn) Affects the Welfare of Autumn-Calving Dairy Cows Kept in Mixed-Feeding Systems. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
In mixed systems (pasture plus TMR), it is essential to provide the cows with good housing conditions at times of supplementation during confinement. However, given that there are different types of confinement for high‐producing cows in pastoral‐based systems, it is necessary to determine how such confinement conditions can affect their welfare.

Host-parasite relationship in urban environments: A network analysis of haemoparasite infections in Nasua nasua Linnaeus (South American coati). [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Urban environments alter host–parasite dynamics, as seen in Nasua nasua, where haemotropic Mycoplasma plays a key role in parasite spread through frequent social interactions. Network analysis revealed low modularity in interactions between N. nasua and tick‐borne haemoparasites, with functional roles unaffected by biotic factors, tick infestation or ...

Indirect Genomic Predictions for Indicine Cattle Breeds With SNP Effects From a Multi‐Breed Genomic Evaluation

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indirect predictions (IP) are used for young genotyped animals that lack phenotypes (of their own or from progeny) or are from commercial herds. The former can be left behind because they do not contribute to the official genomic evaluations.

Genomic Prediction and Genome‐Wide Association Analysis of Heat Tolerance for Milk Yield in Buffaloes Using a Reaction Norm Model

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of incorporating genomic information on the estimation of genetic (co)variance components and the accuracy of breeding values for milk yield under varying thermal environments, and to identify SNPs associated with genes that play significant roles in heat tolerance.

Genetic Parameter Estimation for Pregnancy Loss and Their Association With Reproductive and Growth Traits in Brahman Cattle Under Extensive Tropical Conditions

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study estimated genetic parameters for pregnancy loss (PL) in Brahman cattle and evaluated the genetic correlation of PL with growth and reproductive traits using both the pedigree relationship matrix (A) and pedigree plus genomic relationship matrix (H). Data were collected from two herds in Bolivia, focusing on three age groups: heifers,

Genetic Evaluation Weight, Carcass and Stayability in Nellore Females

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 142, Issue 6, Page 718-731, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Traits related to growth, carcass quality and stayability are key components in enhancing the profitability and sustainability of Nelore cattle production systems. This study aimed to estimate heritabilities and genetic and environmental correlations for these traits using a Bayesian approach. Data from 94,703 females were analysed for weights

Climate Change in the Brazilian Cerrado: A Looming Threat to Terrestrial Biodiversity

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 16, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Due to climate change, the Brazilian Cerrado, a global biodiversity hotspot, is becoming hotter and drier, with longer and more intense dry seasons. This alters biodiversity by altering plant physiology, ecological interactions, and species distribution, creating more homogeneous and less diverse communities.

Host species and age‐specific variation on Hepatozoon prevalence and its effect on body condition in two Neotropical crocodiles

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...
