Potential vs. Realized Large Carnivore Density: The Influence of Livestock on Carnivore Carrying Capacity Estimation

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an unfenced mixed‐use savanna landscape in Namibia, we compared realized densities of leopards and cheetahs estimated using spatial capture–recapture models with prey‐based carrying capacity predictions. Leopard densities exceeded predictions based on wild prey alone but closely matched livestock‐supplemented models, suggesting that vulnerable ...

Genome-wide association with footrot in hair and wool sheep

Frontiers in Genetics
Ovine footrot is an infectious disease with important contributions from Dichelobacter nodosus and Fusobacterium necrophorum. Footrot is characterized by separation of the hoof from underlying tissue, and this causes severe lameness that negatively impacts animal wellbeing, growth, and profitability. Large economic losses result from lost production as

Keratinocyte Priming by Staphylococcus aureus Reduces HSV‐1 Susceptibility

Allergy, EarlyView.
ADEH+ patients have a reduced microbial diversity with increased S. aureus and S. epidermidis colonization compared to ADEH− and healthy controls. Heat‐killed S. aureus reduced HSV‐1 susceptibility and release of infectious progeny virus in a keratinocyte in vitro model. Heat‐killed S.

Investigating the Dietary, Economic, and Social Practices of a Neolithic Funnel Beaker Community in Wanna, Germany, Through Raw Material and Organic Residue Analyses of Pottery

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study details the analysis of an assemblage of Funnel Beaker pottery from Wanna in Northern Germany investigated using petrographic, geochemical, and organic residue analyses. The analyses revealed specialized production of pottery vessels for funerary contexts, but that domestic and funerary pottery were used intensively to process ...

TMT-based quantitative proteomics reveals the genetic mechanisms of secondary hair follicle development in fine-wool sheep.

PLoS ONE
The development of secondary hair follicles influences the quality of sheep wool. However, the mechanism by which proteins mediate the fetal development of secondary hair follicles remains unknown.

Bioactive Element Biodistribution of Different Biological Substrates in Sheep and Goats

Animals
The production and reproduction of small ruminants, such as sheep and goats, living under extensive range-grazing conditions may be influenced by the availability of nutrients and the mineral content of forage. This study evaluated the biodistribution of

The plasticisation model of dye diffusion: Part 7

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐evaluation using the Williams‐Landel‐Ferry equation, of exhaustion/fixation/adsorption data previously reported for four classes of anionic dye onto three different types of wool substrate, revealed that thermally activated dyeing/desorption behaviour is governed by the thermally regulated structural relaxation times of the respective water‐

Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Wool fibres are complex matrices of proteins and fatty acids/lipids found both internally and externally. 18‐methyleicosanoic acid (18‐MEA) is covalently bound to the surface of the fibre via a thio‐ester link, and is considered one of the most important lipids as it is responsible for the hydrophobic properties of wool fibres.
