Particle Size Changes in Rumens of Cattle Grazing Kansas Flint Hills Range [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
A ruminally fistulated Hereford steer and heifer grazing Kansas Flint Hills range were used with the objective of determining forage particle breakdown and distribution in different rumen sites over several hours post feeding during seasons of differing ...

Observations of meteoric material and implications for aerosol nucleation in the winter Arctic lower stratosphere derived from in situ particle measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Number concentrations of total and non-volatile aerosol particles with size diameters >0.01 μm as well as particle size distributions (0.4–23 μm diameter) were measured in situ in the Arctic lower stratosphere (10–20.5 km altitude). The measurements were

A comparison of long and shredded cereal straw for beef cattle [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Thirty Hereford × Friesian steers initially weighing 320 kg were used in two experiments, to compare the effects of mechanical processing of barley straw and the amount of rolled barley offered on intake and live-weight gain.

Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

Small‐scale adaptation to geothermal soil heating in a perennial herb revealed by combining crosses and transplantations

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Path diagrams showing the results of piecewise structural equation models examining how fitness (total number of seeds in flowering individuals) of Cerastium fontanum depended on temperature at planting site, temperature difference, mating type, and flowering time (FFD, first flowering date) in each of the two study years.

Phenotypic plasticity is broadly adaptive across an elevation gradient in the Cutleaf Monkeyflower

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Leaf shape plasticity expression is variable in Mimulus laciniatus. Summary Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which organisms cope with environmental heterogeneity, but its evolutionary consequences depend on how plastic responses align with the broader adaptive landscape.

Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.

Effectiveness of a 95 SNP panel for the screening of breed label fraud in the Chinese meat market [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Breed assignment has proved to be useful to control meat trade and protect the value of special productions. Meat-related frauds have been detected in China; therefore, 95 SNPs selected from the ISAG core panel were evaluated to develop an automated and ...
