“I am a Scientist and I am a Science Teacher!”: Negotiating Shifts in Professional Identity
ABSTRACT Pre‐service teachers often have limited opportunities to develop and reflect upon both their scientist and science teacher identities, and the relationships between them, likely limiting how they draw upon these different but complementary role identities in their teaching practice.

Abstract Nitrogen fixation in soybeans, facilitated by symbiotic interactions with rhizobia, is a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers. However, the efficiency of symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) varies due to natural genetic variation in SNF‐related genes.

Alfalfa‐based silage pellets (ABSP) showed significant results regarding production performance, yolk colour and ω‐3 (PUFAs), as well as the ratio ω‐6/ω‐3 (p < 0.05). The ABSP group also exhibited a higher abundance of beneficial bacteria and a lower abundance of pathogenic bacteria compared to the control group (p < 0.05).

Feeding South African Mutton Merino lambs low‐NDF lucerne hay diets improved nutrient digestibility, energy utilisation, growth efficiency, and carcass quality. Despite lower intake at the lowest NDF level, fibre digestibility and feed conversion improved, indicating that highly digestible, low‐NDF finishing diets enhance lamb growth and carcass traits.

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.
