Assessment of the Herd Management Effects on Mastitis Frequency in Austrian Dairy Farms

Animal Science Journal, Volume 97, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Mastitis, an inflammation of mammary tissue caused by infection, physical injury, or chemical irritation, is one of the most economically significant diseases in the global dairy industry. Both acute and chronic forms of mastitis lead to an increase in somatic cell counts (SCCs) in milk and a significantly reduced milk yield.

Native and Alien Ungulates in North America: Potential for Restoring Herbivore Diversity and Functions

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Large herbivores play key roles in ecosystems by promoting plant diversity, dispersing seeds, regulating nutrient cycling, and shaping vegetation structure. Since the Late Pleistocene, their declines have led to profound ecosystem changes. While often viewed as problematic, alien herbivores may partly compensate for these losses; yet their
