Zoo Biology, EarlyView.While higher temperatures are generally expected to increase amphibian growth, our experiments with captive‐reared Eastern Hellbenders found no evidence that growth increased at a rearing temperature of 21°C relative to 16°C. As Eastern Hellbender reintroduction efforts move forward, a focus on other conditions, such as density or diet, might be more ...

Effects of Density and Food Availability on the Growth of Captive‐Reared Eastern Hellbenders
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Our experiments demonstrate that food is the major factor limiting captive‐reared Hellbender growth and that increasing rearing density to the tested levels does not negatively impact growth. Implementing these changes may result in larger, more robust Hellbenders and increase the success of reintroduction programs.

Life history attributes influencing metabolic variation in an estuarine fish
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Considering that energy availability and oxygen transport potential are limited in supplying metabolic requirements, all animals face trade‐offs between competing metabolic demands.

Back to basics: Precision while mixing total mixed rations and its impact on milking performance
JDS CommunicationsDetails from every mixing load of total mixed ration (TMR) fed to ∼19,000 cows distributed in 92 pens from 21 farms, along with individual milk yield of each cow in every pen and farm, were collected from a feeding and management system (algoMilk; www.algomilk.com) between 2020 and 2022 on a daily basis to assess the impact of quality of mixing TMR on ...

Pasture-Based Dairy Systems: Who Are the Producers and Are Their Operations More Profitable than Conventional Dairies? [PDF]
U.S. dairy operations are sorted via a multinomial logit model into three production systems: pasture-based, semi-pasture-based, and conventional. Region, farm size, financial situation, and production intensity measures impact system choice.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The biogeography of ectotherms is greatly influenced by their thermal tolerance, which is expected to be tightly coupled to aerobic performance. However, preferred temperatures of ectotherms often deviate substantially from aerobic performance optima. This suggests that

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study assesses how weather‐year‐dependent sheep and crop management tactics affect farm profitability and farm system greenhouse gas emissions in the central Great Southern region in Australia. To investigate the impact of farmers' tactical decisions on farm profit and emissions, a whole farm optimisation model known as the Australian ...

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract Business schools are often criticized for reproducing growth‐oriented norms, but alternative pedagogies remain difficult to normalize. Drawing on Butler's theory of subversive performativity, this study examines how art‐based pedagogy enables academics to challenge growth logics in business schools by transforming their identities over time ...

The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.Policy Points The original purpose of the 340B program was to exempt Public Health Service Act funded clinics and state and local public hospitals from the inflationary best‐price component of the recently enacted Medicaid drug rebate program. The secondary purpose was to reduce drug prices for these clinics and hospitals in order to preserve and ...

‘The Housewife's Greatest Standby’: Dried Eggs, Gender and Domesticity During the Second World War
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the previously underexplored connections between dried eggs, women and domesticity in Britain during the Second World War. It argues that newsprint and advertisements framed the purchase and use of dried eggs, a novel wartime product, as a means for housewives to contribute to the war effort through domestic labour. Dried
