Hair as indicator of mineral status in Yankassa sheep.

Revue d'elevage et de medecine veterinaire des pays tropicaux, 1984
Douze brebis de race Yankassa en bonne santé ont été réparties en deux classes d'âge : moins d'un an et plus de deux ans. Des échantillons ont été prélevés en cinq points (encolure, coude, flanc, cuisse et queue). La concentration des poils en macro- et micro-éléments a été analysée et a donné les moyennes suivantes exprimées en millionièmes ...

Modification and expansion of existing body condition scoring scales for rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) improves inter‐rater reliability when used by experienced raters

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Reliable body condition scoring in rabbits is essential in managing healthy bodyweight. The commonly used Rabbit size‐o‐meter (RSOM) has shown poor inter‐rater reliability, particularly among inexperienced raters. This study aimed to develop a reliable, reproducible body condition scoring scale for companion rabbits across breeds ...

Coat color and morphological hair traits influence on the mechanisms related to the heat tolerance in hair sheep

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2020
The principal focus of this study was to describe how the coat characteristics could affect the heat exchanges in animals managed in a hot environment. The Morada Nova ewes were monitored once a month, during 10 consecutive months, in three commercial flocks.

Chronic wasting disease is associated with elevated cortisol concentrations in a white‐tailed deer population

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many clinical signs of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in white‐tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus are consistent with those of chronic stress including hyperexcitability, head tremors, teeth grinding, pacing, excessive salivation, drinking, and urination. Deer with CWD‐positive (CWD+) status are more likely to exhibit poor body condition and to die, and

Localized resources enable noninvasive genetic monitoring of small populations of mountain ungulates

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Using microsatellite analysis of fecal samples collected at mineral licks from 2019–2022, we assessed abundance, apparent survival and genetics of bighorn sheep in the Teton Range, Wyoming, USA. Annual abundance estimates ranged from 118−132 individuals split into 2 similar‐sized demes and apparent survival estimates ranged from 0.72–0.92.

Early‐life environment drives long‐term decrease in adult body mass in a wild bird population

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using more than 90,000 body mass measures of adult and nestling great tits Parus major, we show that the 1 SD decline in adult mass between 1978 and 2024 is a consequence of changes in the environment (i.e. increase in population density) experienced at early life.

From Nouns and Adjectives to Verbs: Base Effects on the Grammatical Behaviour of Denominal Verbs in Ancient Greek1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates the role of semantic features of noun and adjective bases in determining the grammatical behaviour of Ancient Greek denominal and deadjectival verbs in *‐ye/o‐. The paper adopts a lexicalist framework (Rappaport Hovav & Levin 1998) and examines how the event schema, actionality, telicity and voice of derived verbs are ...

Relationships Between HPWS, Causal Ascriptions and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour: A Cross‐Level Investigation

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Attribution scholarship has sought to gain insights into employees' human resource attributions, or beliefs about managerial motives, to explain workplace behaviours. Yet this perspective remains confined to the front end of the cognitive process, overlooking how causal ascriptions arising from strategic HRM practices inform subsequent ...
