Analysing Resilience Indicator Traits in Austrian Fleckvieh, Brown Swiss and Holstein‐Friesian Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent studies suggest that variations in milk yield during lactation can serve as a metric for assessing individual resilience, with minimum fluctuations reflecting greater resilience in cows. With automatic milking systems, multiple records can be obtained from many cows on a daily basis. Given that animals are continually exposed to a range

Directionality of longitudinal associations between frontostriatal structural connectivity and depressive symptoms in adolescent girls

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Individual differences in the structure and function of the frontostriatal reward network have been related to depression. However, there is a strong need for prospective, longitudinal studies aiming to understand the role of frontostriatal networks in depression in a developmental context.

Ambient temperature-related sex ratio at birth in historical urban populations: the example of the city of Poznań, 1848–1900

Scientific Reports
This study examines whether exposure to ambient temperature in nineteenth-century urban space affected the ratio of boys to girls at birth. Furthermore, we investigate the details of temperature effects timing upon sex ratio at birth.

Bayesian hierarchical stock–recruitment models for setting conservation limits for Atlantic salmon stocks in Scotland

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations in Scotland are subject to active management and conservation practices which require biological reference points (BRPs), specifically conservation limits, defined at the level of the stock. Acquiring the data necessary to independently derive these BRPs for all managed populations in Scotland is ...

Distribution and ecology of the four Macrourus species by‐caught in the longline fishery at South Georgia, Southern Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of macrourids at genus level masks critical interspecific differences in life‐history strategies and ...

Architecture of lower leg muscles in children: Reference curves and potential mechanisms of growth

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Muscle architecture (physiological cross‐sectional area, fascicle lengths and pennation angle) was measured from multimodal MRI scans of the lower legs of 197 children aged ≤15 years. We showed that lower leg muscle volumes (product of PCSA and fascicle length) increase primarily through increases in PCSA (transverse growth) rather than increases in ...
