Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.

Effect of Exogenous Melatonin on Performance and Mastitis in Dairy Cows

Veterinary Sciences
Mastitis is an important factor affecting the health of cows that leads to elevated somatic cell counts in milk, which can seriously affect milk quality and result in huge economic losses for the livestock industry.

Monitoring animal movement diversity as a component of biodiversity

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Animal movement is increasingly being quantified in novel ways, with high potential for integration into broad‐scale efforts to monitor biological diversity. Here, we define movement diversity as a form of biodiversity, measuring variation in animal movement from the level of individual animals to communities. We present a framework to develop a common

Selection for persistence of endophyte‐free meadow fescue under intensive grazing versus frequent mowing

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Cattle grazing meadow fescue pasture in remnant oak savanna near Fennimore, Wisconsin. Abstract Background Meadow fescue (Schedonorus pratensis (Huds.) P. Beauv.) is highly adapted to managed rotational grazing systems with sufficient rest periods to promote regrowth and sward longevity.

Alterations in Whey Protein Abundance Correlated with the Somatic Cell Count Identified via Label-Free and Selected Reaction Monitoring Proteomic Approaches

Animals
The somatic cell count (SCC) is widely used to assess milk quality and diagnose intramammary infections. Several whey proteins have been shown to correlate significantly with SCC and are considered potential indicators of udder health.

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Effectiveness of integrated shrub management and restoration techniques for rehabilitating shrub‐encroached rangelands of South Africa

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Herbaceous plant recovery following shrub clearing and reseeding in the rangelands of Peddie, Eastern Cape of South Africa. CTL, control; CO, cutting only; CR, cutting and reseeding; UPO, uprooting only; UPR, uprooting and reseeding. Abstract Background Shrub encroachment (SE) drives rangeland degradation, threatening biodiversity and forage ...

Transformative changes of pastoral livestock production and its consequences on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Grassland functional zoning and spatial optimization scheme on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau. Based on multifunctionality assessment, the scheme proposes allocating 32% of regional grassland as nature reserve grasslands (biodiversity focus), 63% as livestock grazing grasslands (smart ecological–production management), and 5% as cultivated grasslands (high‐
