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

open access: yesHuman 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 ...

Enhanced propionate and butyrate metabolism in cecal microbiota contributes to cold-stress adaptation in sheep

open access: yesMicrobiome
Background During cold stress, gut microbes play crucial roles in orchestrating energy metabolism to enhance environmental adaptation. In sheep, hindgut microbes ferment carbohydrates to generate short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as an energy source ...

Effect of Social Rank on Gut Microbes and Their Metabolites of Greater Long‐Tailed Hamsters (Tscherskia triton)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Social rank in greater long‐tailed hamsters (Tscherskia triton) shapes gut microbiota composition and metabolite profiles. Dominant males exhibit a “high‐vigilance, metabolically activated” phenotype, with elevated aggression and specific gut microbiota enriched in energy‐harvesting taxa and fecal queuine.

The Effects of Noise on the Juvenile Life Stage of Crustaceans: Behavioral, Cellular, and Molecular Responses in Procambarus clarkii

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Juvenile Procambarus clarkii exposed to noise exhibited behavioral changes, shifts in enzymatic activity, and altered expression of stress and immune genes. The findings highlight the sensitivity of invertebrate juveniles to anthropogenic acoustic pollution.

Evolutionary and Epidemiological Characterization of Multidrug‐Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated From Pangolins in China

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malayan pangolin populations have fallen to a critically endangered level, and illegal trafficking of wild pangolins is a global problem. Little is known about antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria (MDRB) harbored by pangolins, although pangolins are frequently consumed as food or used in traditional medicine. In this study, we report for the first

Heat Tolerance Differences Between Hu Sheep and Hu Crossbred Sheep in Microbial Community Structure and Metabolism

open access: yesMetabolites
Background: The frequent occurrence of extreme temperature events causes significant economic losses to the livestock industry. Therefore, delving into the differences in the physiological and molecular mechanisms of heat stress across different sheep ...
