Abstract The timing and amount of rainfall are crucial in forage growth. Producer perceptions of the rainfall distribution are likely to influence their choices related to the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index insurance program. Because of the scarcity of forage production data, diversity of forage production systems, and climates ...

ABSTRACT Toxins for vertebrate pest control in bait material degrade under field conditions but there are limited data available on the degradation of toxins used in canid pest ejectors (hereafter ejectors). Re‐use of non‐activated capsules would be practical for end‐users and support the optimal and cost‐efficient use of vertebrate toxins.

ABSTRACT The ability of ruminants to mobilise and restore body reserves (BR) over time, referred to as BR dynamics, is currently considered an interesting biological component to be included in breeding programs targeting enhanced BR resilience. However, genetic studies of proxies for BR levels and BRD remain scarce, particularly in small ruminants ...

Aridity and drought: distinct concepts often conflated in ecological research
Summary As well‐established drivers of ecological pattern and process, aridity and drought are linked by a common focus on water limitation – with both aridity and especially drought projected to increase in extent and severity with climate change. There is a long history of assessing plant adaptations to drought through the lens of aridity. Consistent
