Harry Stobbs Memorial Lecture: Can grazing behavior support innovations in grassland management?

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2013
Grazing is a fundamental process affecting grassland ecosystem dynamics and functioning. Its behavioral components comprise how animals search for feed, and gather and process plant tissues in different spatio-temporal scales of the grazing process ...

Impacts of Rotational Grazing on Soil Carbon in Native Grass-Based Pastures in Southern Australia.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Rotational grazing management strategies have been promoted as a way to improve the sustainability of native grass-based pasture systems. From disturbance ecology theory, rotational grazing relative to continuous grazing can increase pasture productivity

Livestock grazing intensity affects abundance of Common shrews (Sorex araneus) in two meadows in Denmark

BMC Ecology, 2009
Background Current nature conservation in semi-natural grasslands often includes grazing and hay cutting, as well as the abandonment of draining. Semi-natural grassland and in particular meadows constitute important habitat type for a large number of ...

The price of survival: comparative adaptation to high altitudes between yaks and cattle

Animal Microbiome
The yak (Bos grunniens) serves as an exceptional model for studying high-altitude adaptation mechanisms due to its evolutionary success in the hypoxic environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Tuning the Optoelectronic Properties of Wide Bandgap Perovskites: Data‐Driven Insights from Combinatorial Synthesis and High‐Throughput Experimentation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Combinatorial vapor deposition enables independent tuning of Cs/Pb and Br/Cl in wide‐bandgap perovskites. Automated multimodal mapping of 500+ compositions reveals a high‐energy optical transition that correlates with enhanced photoluminescence, defining a practical Cs/Pb window.

Modeling the effects of livestock rotation frequency on forage production and soil carbon using a spatially explicit grazing distribution

Carbon Management
Livestock grazing strongly influences terrestrial ecosystems and carbon (C) dynamics, but outcomes depend on grazing management. High-frequency rotation (HFR) grazing may reduce the uneven grazing distribution commonly associated with low-frequency ...

Can cattle grazing contribute to butterfly habitat? Using butterfly behavior as an index of habitat quality in an agroecosystem

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The provision of habitat on private agricultural land is vital to the persistence of native species. This study aimed to understand how cattle grazing management strategies influence butterfly behavior.

Ground‐State Charge‐Transfer Doping in Donor–Acceptor Semiconducting Polymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates controlled ground‐state charge‐transfer complex formation (GS‐CTC) and doping in a series of diketopyrrolopyrrole‐based donor–acceptor semiconducting polymers paired with a π‐conjugated penta‐t‐butylpentacyanopentabenzo[25]annulene “cyanostar” macrocycle. Complementary experimental techniques show how subtle molecular, electronic,
