Environmental and seasonal filtering of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity patterns of mountain butterflies in a prime butterfly area, Greece

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.

Genetic Control of Canalization for Twinning Rates in Polypay and Rambouillet Sheep Using Threshold or Double Hierarchical Generalized Linear Models

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In most sheep production systems, the ideal scenario is for every ewe to lamb and successfully raise twins. However, selection for increased number of lambs born (NLB) is often accompanied by a higher incidence of triplet and higher‐order births, which increases management challenges and producer reluctance to intensify selection for this ...

Greening and Divergent Stability Responses in Central Asian Mountain Grasslands Under the Grassland Ecological Compensation Policy of China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10147-10161, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mountain grasslands of Central Asia, recognized as a globally significant biodiversity hotspot and a vital pastoral resource, are presently experiencing profound transformations driven by climate change and evolving grazing practices. This study investigated the multidimensional dynamics of ecosystem stability in the Bayinbuluk grassland of ...

Climate Change and African Agricultural Resilience: A 10‐Year Comprehensive Review of Adaptive Capacity, Policy, and Environmental Stewardship

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In the current era, climate change has emerged as a fundamental threat to African agriculture, driven by increasingly erratic climatic patterns such as prolonged rainfall, decadal droughts, and escalating thermal stress. This review evaluates contemporary agricultural productivity by gathering and analyzing empirical data from academic ...

Large‐Scale Genomics Reveals Three‐Source Ancestry and Layered Adaptation to High Altitude in Tibetan Chickens

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
Whole‐genome analysis of 1,054 chickens reveals three ancestral sources (NWC, SYA, and SHF) with distinct temporal entry patterns into the Tibetan Plateau. Route‐specific selection scans, calibrated against a demographic null, suggest complementary functional enrichments—vascular homeostasis (NWC), calcium signaling and cardiac adaptation (SYA), and ...

Transhumance in the Time of UNESCO: Political Narratives, Rhetorical Representations, Enhancement Practices

Martor
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of tourist and economic interest in transhumance in Sardinia and more generally Italy. Previously viewed as a hindrance to sheep farming development and associated with isolation, sacrifice, and uncertainty ...

Bridging the gap between science, policy and stakeholders: Towards sustainable wolf–livestock coexistence in human‐dominated landscapes

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2018-2025, July 2026.
Abstract While the return of wolves (Canis lupus) to many European countries is a conservation milestone, the negative impacts are unevenly distributed across society, placing high pressure on livestock grazing systems. For this perspective, scientists from diverse disciplines and geographical backgrounds reflect on the state of livestock–wolf ...

Pastoralism and agro-ecosystems: a year of hour-by-hour sheep transhumance monitoring

Italian Journal of Animal Science
Transhumance is a mobile form of pastoralism consisting of the constant movement of flocks to find access to forage. This practice is linked to both provisioning and non-provisioning ecosystem services, particularly cultural ones.

A Look at the Problems of Transhumance in Northeastern Anatolia with a Cause-Effect Relationship: Ardahan Example

Coğrafya Dergisi
Transhumance activity, which has been carried on in the mountains of Türkiye for hundreds of years, has entered into a great change nowadays. NE Anatolia, the center of livestock grazing, is the region where these changes are experienced the most.
