Are human‐altered landscapes reshaping carnivore niche spaces in the Trans‐Himalaya?
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Understanding carnivore interactions under growing human pressures is crucial for conservation. We examined spatial and temporal niche structuring among snow leopards Panthera uncia, Himalayan wolves Canis lupus chanco, and red foxes Vulpes vulpes; while also incorporating free‐ranging dogs Canis lupus familiaris as a human‐subsidized mesopredator ...

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The emergence of anthelminthic resistance is a well‐documented phenomenon in livestock and companion animals. Given the scarcity of new antiparasitic drugs, the implementation of effective, holistic anthelminthic control strategies is critical to preserving the efficacy of existing treatments.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The highly threatened African cycad genus Encephalartos faces severe threats such as habitat loss and poaching. In addition, the lack of sexual recruitment due to the absence of pollinators (pollinator collapse) has emerged as another major threat.

Evaluation of Crossbreeding Effects for Wool Traits in Sheep
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2006 Crossbreeding effects for wool quality traits viz. greasy fleece weight (kg), staple length (cm), average fibre diameter (μ) and medulation percentage were estimated using the Dickerson's and Kinghorn's models. The data analyzed involved 15 genetic groups including Nali purebred, F 1 's of two and three breeds, F 2 's and reciprocal crossbred obtained ...
