Lairage time effect on meat quality in Hereford steers in rangeland conditions [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2019 ABSTRACT This study evaluated lairage time effects on carcass and meat quality traits of Hereford steers. Thirty Hereford steers fed on pasture were assigned to two treatments according to lairage time: 3 h (n = 15) and 12 h (n = 15). Individual temperament was assessed using crush score and flight speed.

Ecological relationships between poisonous plants and rangeland condition: A Review [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2002 In the past, excessive numbers of livestock on western U.S. rangelands, reoccurring droughts, and lack of management resulted in retrogression of plant communities. Poisonous plants and other less palatable species increased with declining range condition and livestock were forced to eat these poisonous species because of a shortage of desirable forage,

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Vegetation and condition of arid rangeland ecosystem in Central Saudi Arabia
Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences, 2018 Saudi Arabia rangeland ecosystems have undergone intense processes of degradation for many decades because of extreme climate and human activities such as overgrazing and socioeconomic changes. In this study, Hail and Qassim Regions of Saudi Arabia covering an area about 79610.73 km2 were selected to study the rangeland vegetation and condition ...

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions
Ecography, EarlyView.Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.
