Evolutionary shifts to gynomonoecy correlate with changes in capitulum architecture in South African Helichrysum (Asteraceae)

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Representative South African Helichrysum species illustrating variation in capitulum size. Summary Gynomonoecy has evolved repeatedly in Asteraceae, suggesting selective advantages for species whose capitula combine pistillate and bisexual flowers. Theories invoking conspicuous peripheral flowers and achene heteromorphism do not account for gynomonoecy

Farmer-To-Farmer Advice: What's the Best Way to Sell Raw Wool in Australia? [PDF]

Some 85% of all raw wool produced in Australia is sold on the open-cry auction system (Bolt 2004). Current debate among wool growers highlighted the need to explore other methods available and, of these, determine what are the most preferred.

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Comparative performance of short‐stature and traditional corn hybrids in Wisconsin: Canopy development, weed suppression, and yield

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Short‐stature corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids were introduced to the market in 2023 to improve crop standability and reduce lodging risk under strong wind conditions. However, limited information is available regarding their agronomic performance relative to traditional hybrids, particularly with respect to plant height development, canopy ...

Wool production and quality traits of pure- and crossbred Merino-type sheep

Tropical Animal Health and Production
AbstractVery little information is available on the quality of wool produced by terminal crosses out of wool producing dam lines. This study was therefore undertaken to elucidate the wool quality traits of four crossbred lines relative to Merinos and Dohne Merinos, which served as dam lines. Each dam line was mated to rams of their own breed as well as

Comparison of two sampling methods for assessing wool properties in Awassi sheep -- 2

, 1998
Midside sampling of wool is not the standard method of sampling fleeces in Turkish laboratories. Different wool sampling methods were compared with respect to fleece traits in Awassi sheep with coarse-mixed wool. Wool samples were taken from the shoulder,

Why Anthropologists Should Study Dogs

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT While primates have traditionally been a focus of evolutionary anthropologists, the domestic dog represents a valuable complementary model due to its long shared evolutionary history with humans. The advantages of studying dogs are particularly evident in four key areas: (1) analyzing evolutionary adaptations, (2) understanding humanity's past,

Genetic parameters of lamb leather and wool traits in Lacaune dairy sheep

animal
Lacaune lamb skins are well known for their high quality and are widely used in the leather industry and luxury ready-to-wear fashion. However, in France, the quality of this leather has declined over recent decades, primarily due to two major defects: pinhole and straw-like bushiness. The study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of these defects
