Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Does rotational bale grazing affect the distribution of soil nutrients across pastures?

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Rotational bale grazing (RBG), the strategic feeding of round hay bales directly on pasture with controlled access, offers an alternative to continuous winter hay feeding in a single paddock. This study evaluated RBG's potential to redistribute nutrients by increasing soil concentrations in field areas with lower phosphorus (P) and potassium ...

Assessing forage mass using smartphone imagery for cereal rye under grazing conditions in Nebraska

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Managing grazing efficiency requires reliable and practical tools to estimate forage mass. Traditional methods like clipping, though accurate, are time consuming and labor intensive. In this study, two imaging tools, Canopeo and the Crop Canopy Image Analyzer (CCIA), were evaluated for their efficacy in estimating the forage mass of cereal rye

Building Resilience: Empowering Agro‐Pastoralists Against Climate Variability in Laikipia, Kenya

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses significant challenges for agricultural systems in Africa, particularly affecting agro‐pastoral communities dependent on crops and livestock for their livelihoods. This study investigates the impact of adaptation strategies on climate resilience among agro‐pastoral communities in Laikipia County, Kenya. It applies the Food

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.
