The Potential for Yield Improvements in Developing Countries to Reduce Their Exposure to Extreme Weather Shocks in Exporting Countries

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the impact of extreme weather on food availability and how yield gap reductions in developing countries could make them less vulnerable to the imported effects of extreme weather shocks. Our extreme weather scenario results show that simultaneous weather‐related shocks to crop yields in main exporting countries could lead

Evaluation of two candidate molecules—TCTP and cecropin—on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3

Multi‐omics reveal the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaption of small wild ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park, China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This research reveals the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaptation of wild small ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park. Unlike Tibetan sheep (TS), blue sheep (PN and Tibetan antelope (TA) often grazed low‐quality herbage in a wildness environment, and the higher microbial diversity and resilient network characteristics

Animal 'Ritual' Killing: from Remains to Meanings [PDF]

, 2011
As humans, we interact with our environment and the other species inhabiting it in a variety of ways. Animals not only provide a source of sustenance, but a means for humans to express their social concepts through interaction.

Phenotype transition from wild mouflon to domestic sheep

Genetics Selection Evolution
AbstractThe domestication of animals started around 12,000 years ago in the Near East region. This “endless process” is characterized by the gradual accumulation of changes that progressively marked the genetic, phenotypic and physiological differences between wild and domesticated species.

Can Fecal T3 Metabolite Level Fluctuations in European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Give Insights on Body Condition and Thermal Stress?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
European roe deer fecal samples were assayed to investigate the potential fluctuations of fecal thyroid hormone metabolites (FTMs) in response to environmental (e.g., the temperature, local densities) and individual (e.g., sex, age, body, and nutritional conditions) variables.

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Humanimals: A Socio‐Ecological Reading of the Marseille Plague of 1720

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this article is to return to a small number of historically significant first‐person testimonies of the Marseille epidemic of 1720 in order to analyse in detail their construction and depiction of human exceptionality as a form of life in a time of plague.
