Gut microbiome seasonality is associated with dietary plasticity and coexistence in three sympatric Pamir ungulates

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract outlines a multi‐omics framework investigating the seasonal dietary composition and gut microbial communities of three coexisting ungulate species inhabiting the extreme high‐altitude Pamir Plateau (Ovis ammon polii, Capra sibirica, and Pseudois nayaur). By integrating dietary DNA metabarcoding, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, shotgun

A Functional SNP in the AMH Gene Is Associated with Litter Size in Dazu Black Goats

Animals
AMH plays a critical role in ovarian follicular development and may influence reproductive performance. However, its genetic variation and association with litter size in goats remain unclear.

Putative trait‐based retention of oral‐derived microbes along the oral–gut axis in bamboo‐eating pandas

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Compared with the two herbivorous comparison species, pandas showed higher estimated oral‐source contributions and enrichment of microbial traits associated with facultative anaerobiosis, biofilm formation, and stress tolerance. These patterns are consistent with a model in which greater oral microbial input and putative host filtering may jointly ...

Soil‐derived, gut‐dominant generalist bacteria shape the fitness of folivorous larvae

iMeta, EarlyView.
Whether Lepidoptera harbor a conserved core gut microbiome has long remained contentious. Through large‐scale microbiome profiling of folivorous larvae, their host plants, and associated soils across three climatically distinct regions of China, we identify two soil‐derived generalist bacteria, Ralstonia insidiosa and Delftia sp., that colonize 97.92 ...

Must Longtermists Wish Us All Dead? A Quadrilemma

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longtermists assign great moral importance to making the long‐term future as good as possible, especially by ensuring the survival of humanity. We argue, to the contrary, that on assumptions that are plausible, conservative, or shared by leading longtermists, human extinction will likely augment total utility among human and non‐human animals ...

Suitability [PDF]

, 2002
The suitability of grazing, burning, mowing and cutting as tools for succession control in peatland was assessed and expressed on a scale from 0 - 1. All management tools are suitable, but their effects are conditional.

Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.

Integrating ZooMS and taphonomy further highlights differential processing of animal and Neandertal carcasses in the Quina Mousterian at Les Pradelles (Marillac‐le‐Franc, southwest France)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cave of Les Pradelles (Marillac‐le‐Franc, France) was repeatedly visited by Neandertals ~55 000 years ago and is a key site in discussions of Neandertal cannibalism. Excavations between 1967 and 1980 (Vandermeersch) and between 2001 and 2013 (Maureille/Mann) produced a rich faunal assemblage (>20 000 bones), alongside Quina Mousterian ...
