A Comparison between rotational grazing and set stocking with ewes and lambs at three stocking rates

, 1975
SUMMARYIn 1972 a comparison was made between rotational creep grazing (R—8 paddocks) and set stocking (S—2 paddocks) for ewes and their twin lambs at 3 stocking rates viz. 20 (H), 17 (M) and 14 (L) ewes/ha.The herbage intakes/kg live weight of the R ewes

Reversible Regime Change: Climate‐Driven Phytoplankton Community Shifts in the Cariaco Basin, Venezuela

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Phytoplankton communities are integral to oceanic biogeochemical cycles and are sensitive indicators of climate‐driven environmental variability. Long‐term time series capture this variability, allowing us to unravel the effects of environmental change on local communities.

Monitoring Change in Floodplain Vegetation Due To River Restoration Treatments With Remote Sensing in the Intermountain West

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract River corridors are essential to life, but have been subjected to centuries of alteration, disconnection, and simplification. Process‐based river restoration has increased in recent years, with the goals of reversing degradation and reestablishing natural processes. Our objectives are twofold: (a) qualify the historic, ecologic, and geomorphic

indexGIXS: software for visualizing and interactive indexing of grazing‐incidence scattering data

Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 960-967, June 2026.
A program is described for visualizing grazing‐incidence scattering data and interactive indexing of the observed diffraction spots.Grazing‐incidence small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering are widely applied for the study of functional organic thin films, be it for the characterization of nanostructured morphologies in block copolymers, nanocomposites ...

Shedding light on the dark: Does artificial illumination affect mammal activity at waterholes in sub‐Saharan Africa?

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
We experimentally evaluated the effects of artificial lighting on mammal visitation patterns at waterholes in north‐central Namibia using motion‐activated camera traps across two dry seasons. Lighting had minimal effects on most species, although gemsboks increased use of artificially lit waterholes and lions reduced nocturnal activity at illuminated ...

Mothers Matter Most: Maternal, but Not Paternal, Age and Inbreeding Affect Nestling Telomere Length in a Wild Passerine

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Early‐life telomere length can be an integrated and accessible biomarker of lifetime fitness. Telomere length can result from complex interactions between heritable genetic variation, inherited gametic variation and accumulated environmental effects acting on individuals and parents.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

An Upper Bound on Carbon Emissions of Drained Peat Soil Grasslands From Satellite Radar Interferometry

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Drained and cultivated grasslands on peat soils behave as a significant source of greenhouse gasses by oxidation. However, the lack of empirical estimates of carbon losses from peatlands with adequate spatial and temporal resolution has forced researchers to rely on process‐based model approximations to make quantitative, regional‐ or national‐

Lamb Growth Rate On Pasture : Effect Of Grazing Management, Sward Type And Supplementation [PDF]

, 1999
End of Project ReportIn spring-lambing flocks an important objective is to achieve high lamb growth rate on pasture so that most lambs are drafted for slaughter by September. Lamb growth rate can vary greatly depending on the type of pasture being grazed.
