Testimonial: Wool production & biodiversity working together for The McKemey Family - 'Willow Park'

, 2011
John and Helen McKemey and their children, Daniel, Hannah and David, own 'Willow Park' and nearby 'Karingal' and run the two farms as a family partnership. John's father purchased and developed 'Willow Park' in the 1940s.

Phenotypic trade-offs between lambs and wool reflect weak antagonistic genetic correlations between reproductive and wool traits

, 2022
Rearing lambs while producing wool is an annual source of competition for available nutritional resources supplied to breeding ewes. Genetic correlations between wool and reproductive traits were estimated from industry data, comparing models that did or

Do aphid endosymbiotic bacteria influence parasitoid searching behaviour through changes in aphid honeydew production?

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.

Modelling the World Wool Market: A Hybrid Approach [PDF]

We present a model of the world wool market that merges two modelling traditions: the partialequilibrium commodity-specific approach and the computable general-equilibrium approach.

Effects of non‐host traces on behavioural responses of an egg parasitoid to substrate‐borne semiochemicals in a multi‐herbivore scenario

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
In open arena assays, the response of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis to substrate‐borne semiochemicals left by the host Nezara viridula was affected by the non‐host Spodoptera littoralis. Non‐host larval traces reduced T. basalis residence time spent on walking traces from gravid N. viridula females but did not affect responses to walking traces

The effects of chemical treatments on the abrasion resistance of wool fabrics [PDF]

, 1981
The low abrasion resistance of wool fabrics compared with many man-made fibre fabrics is known to be a frequent cause of consumer dissatisfaction particularly in pure wool suiting fabrics. Accordingly this project was undertaken to attempt to improve the

Incorporating subjectively assessed sheep and wool traits into genetic evaluations for merino sheep. 2: Phenotypic and genetic correlations

, 2009
Using pedigree and performance records obtained from two Merino breeders, the phenotypic and genetic relationship between subjectively assessed sheep and wool traits and objectively measured wool traits was estimated.

Treatment of wool scouring effluent [PDF]

, 1991
Effluent from the wool scouring industry is considered to be the most strongly polluting waste in the whole textile industry (Anderson & Wood, 1973). It typically contains 3,000 to 21,000 mg/l wool grease, 7,000 to 15,000 mg/l suint salts (salt produced ...

Preference‐performance relationship in the thistle tortoise beetle: Implications for its realised host range

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
There was a positive relationship between adult preference and larval performance. However, the strength of the relationship ranged from weak to strong depending on the measure of adult preference. The adult beetle showed substantial flexibility in host plant selection and equal performance across most thistle hosts.
