Signaling uniqueness: The psycholinguistic effect of language precision on product perceptions

Journal of Consumer Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This research reveals a psycholinguistic effect whereby more precise words in product communications increase consumer perceptions of product uniqueness. Drawing on Categorization Theory, the authors propose that more precise words in product descriptions are situated deeper within their semantic categories and denote narrower subsets of ...

Technical wildness: Modernity, romanticism, and the technocratic turn in Scottish rewilding

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Technical wildness is a new and increasingly influential culture of nature. This paper marks its emergence in Scotland in the early 2020s. Focusing on Scotland's rapidly evolving land management sector, the paper traces how private rewilding companies position science‐led land management and natural capital markets as the most effective ...

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Production traits of tushin sheep il. milk and wool yield

Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2001
This study has been carried out to determine the yield of milk and wool in Tushin sheep. Twenty Iwo sheep were used for milk yield in 1997 and 66 in 1998, For fleece weight 9 rams and 79 ewes were used in 1998. The overall means of milk yield, milk lat and lactation lenght were found as 75,24±0.36 kg.

Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.

Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.

Genome-Wide Characterization of Heterozygosity-Rich Regions in Kazakh Native Sheep Breeds. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT Heterozygosity‐rich regions (HRR) are genomic segments characterized by high heterozygosity that may arise from admixture, introgression, or balancing selection and may harbor loci associated with adaptation and fitness‐related traits. This study aimed to characterize HRR patterns in five Kazakh sheep breeds using a publicly available ...

Genetics of Some Wool Traits in Sheep: A Review

Archives of Current Research International
Greasy fleece yield, staple length and fibre diameter are complex quantitative traits influenced by various genetic and environmental factors. Among non-genetic factors year of birth, gender of lamb, centre of rearing, parity and type of birth are known to influence wool traits in different sheep genetic resources.
