Talking as friends: Weaving local and scientific knowledge to co‐produce an integrated index to assess rangeland multifunctionality in a dryland Biosphere Reserve in Mexico

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 3036-3056, November 2025.
Abstract The complexity of sustainability challenges and the need for transformative change have prompted the exploration of novel approaches for knowledge co‐generation and decision‐making. This calls for integrative assessment methods that meaningfully include and represent diverse knowledge systems, capturing multiple values, needs and interests as ...

Madagascar's grassy biomes, from Holocene to Anthropocene

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 1555-1558, November 2025.
Madagascar's grassy biomes cover 80% of the island and are central to Malagasy history, culture and ecology. The research community continues to debate the extent to which these biomes are ancient ecosystems or products of human‐driven deforestation and the implications for ecosystem management.

Genetic Relationships Among Resilience, Fertility and Milk Production Traits in Crossbred Dairy Cows Performing in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 142, Issue 6, Page 630-642, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Change in climate over the past years and its impact on the environment have necessitated the inclusion of resilience traits in the breeding objectives of dairy cattle. However, the relationship between resilience and other traits of economic importance in dairy production is currently not well known. This study examined the genetic parameters

On the Identifiability of Genetic Parameters for Growth in Mice With a Massively Deep Pedigree

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 142, Issue 6, Page 706-717, November 2025.
ABSTRACT In models with direct and maternal genetic effects, structural features of the data are a potential source of bias and low accuracy of estimates for genetic covariance parameters. One of the well‐known reasons for such poor practical identifiability is the lack of dams with own observations.
