Gender &History, EarlyView.Abstract This article investigates the ways in which late‐nineteenth‐century students at Northwestern University's Cumnock School of Oratory mobilised elocution training and parlour performance to foster mixed‐gender public discourse. I use student publications to reconstruct parlour meetings in which women and men adapted traditions of conversational ...

Green fodder nutritional value for horses
, 2011 Horses are monogastric herbivores capable of making a wide use of forage to feed themselves and cover their nutritional requirements. This study examines the nutritional value of green fodder measured in horses, fodder ingestibility and ingestion in grazing horses.

‘Let's Turn the Grass Into Meat’: Animal Husbandry as Women's Work in Cold War North Korea
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In postcolonial North Korea, the future of the nation was said to be a function of the feedlot. Unobtainable on the battlefields of the recently ended Korean War, liberation and unification of the peninsula became a question of competitive developmentalism.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Asian elephant population parameters were assessed using microsatellite, SNP, and sex determination DNA markers. This represents one of the first studies in mainland Asia to demonstrate that integrating microsatellite and SNP data enhances genotyping success from degraded fecal samples, increases the number of useable samples and markers, and ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract The demand for information about property‐scale natural capital is growing rapidly as producers and supply chains respond to opportunities and pressures to report environmental performance information. Natural Capital Accounting offers promise but agreed methods for farm‐scale accounts are currently lacking.

Dynamic of 16 fodder trees' nutritive values from June to October
, 2022 Trees could help to reduce livestock production vulnerability to climate change by providing a fodder resource during periods of drought. Fodder trees are commonly used in tropical and Mediterranean areas, but they remain poorly studied in temperate regions.

Accounting for spatial interactions in the upscaling of ecosystem services
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Maps of ecosystem service (ES) supply are frequently used to guide spatial planning, policymaking and ecosystem management. However, these are typically based upon coarse land‐cover proxies. This approach lacks a strong mechanistic basis and neglects spatial biodiversity dynamics and interactions among landscape properties that can modify ES ...

Farmers' pro‐social motivations and willingness‐to‐accept in markets with public goods
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract To explain how some farmers' decisions may diverge from profit‐maximization, we incorporate proactive social preferences for public goods in an expected utility framework, in addition to reactive risk preferences to uncertainty. We offer empirical evidence that proactive preferences influence farmers' decisions alongside reactive preferences ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mediterranean wetlands are one of Europe's most vital and endangered biodiversity hotspots. This study determined the carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values of modern plants to construct an isotopic framework by which to contextualize agropastoral management in and around past wetland ecosystems.

Untangling nutrient co‐regulation of ombrotrophic peatland development
Boreas, EarlyView.Multi‐method (FTIR, FT‐NIR and TGA) approaches characterizing the organic peat constituents at Holcroft Moss reveal a record of switches that reflect broadly hydroclimate variability governing the decomposition patterns. There are periods, however, where hydroclimate does not fully explain the variability observed and instead changes appear linked to ...
