Genome‐Wide Characterization of Heterozygosity‐Rich Regions in Kazakh Native Sheep Breeds

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Heterozygosity‐rich regions (HRR) are genomic segments characterized by high heterozygosity that may arise from admixture, introgression, or balancing selection and may harbor loci associated with adaptation and fitness‐related traits. This study aimed to characterize HRR patterns in five Kazakh sheep breeds using a publicly available ...

Early Contributions Leading to Understanding the Significance of Epichloë Endophyte in Temperate Grasses

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 5, October 2026.
The role and use of Epichloë fungal endophytes in grazed temperate grass pastures and turf grasses are now well understood with regard to balancing pasture persistence while minimising animal health and welfare concerns. However, this understanding has only emerged since the early 1980s. Prior to this, although links between Epichloë endophytes, animal

Who Is a Patriotic Man? Rethinking Hegemonic Masculinity in Modern Iran

Gender &History, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 846-858, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the analytical viability of the concept of “hegemonic masculinity” in the historical study of masculinities in early‐twentieth‐century Iran (c.1890–1941). It argues that a radical problematizing of the concepts of hegemony, class, “the West,” and patriotism helps us move beyond the binaries of Western‐Iranian and modern ...

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 984-1004, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The
