The complete genome sequence of the rumen bacterium Butyrivibrio hungatei MB2003

Standards in Genomic Sciences, 2017
Butyrivibrio hungatei MB2003 was isolated from the plant-adherent fraction of rumen contents from a pasture-grazed New Zealand dairy cow, and was selected for genome sequencing in order to examine its ability to degrade plant polysaccharides.

Infrared Machine Vision System Based on Te NWs‐Au NPs Plasmonic Optoelectronic Memristor for Motion Detection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A plasmonic optoelectronic memristor based on Te nanowires‐Au nanoparticles/ι‐carrageenan enables IR‐programmed and visiblelight‐erased non‐volatile conductance. The all‐photonic write/erase scheme supports in‐sensor logic and real‐time motion detection in darkness.

Climate Change Agricultural Comparative Advantage and the US Trade Balance

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current science indicates that warming and elevated atmospheric CO2 will have ambiguous results for crop productivity depending on crop type and geographic location, whereas increased heat stress makes livestock and human labor less productive.

Threshold levels of artificial infection with Haemonchus contortus impacting lamb physiology and production

Scientific Reports
This study examined the effects of levels of artificial Haemonchus contortus infection on lamb behaviour and physiology. Forty 6-month-old Romney-cross wethers were assigned to one of four treatments (n = 10/treatment): 8000 L3 larvae (High; H), 4000 L3 ...

Sheep numbers required for dry matter digestibility evaluations when fed fresh perennial ryegrass or forage rape

Animal Nutrition, 2017
Research trials with fresh forages often require accurate and precise measurement of digestibility and variation in digestion between individuals, and the duration of measurement periods needs to be established to ensure reliable data are obtained.

Synergies in Agricultural Biodiversity Conservation: Decomposing the Interaction Between Nature Parks and Agri‐Environment Schemes

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how policy instruments with overlapping goals interact is crucial for leveraging their synergies. This study explores the mechanisms for regional nature parks (a form of protected areas that impose no restrictions on agriculture) to enhance the adoption of biodiversity‐conserving agri‐environment schemes (AES) in Switzerland ...

Swedish farmers' approval of nudges

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Interest in the use of behavioral policy approaches, such as nudges, has strongly increased over the past years, including in the domains of food, agricultural and environmental policies. While the approval of nudges among the general public has been studied extensively, we know little about the attitude of farmers toward nudging. Farmers may (
