Large range sizes link fast life histories with high species richness across wet tropical tree floras by Baker, TR, Adu-Bredu, S, Affum-Baffoe, K, Aiba, S, Akite, P, Alexiades, M, Almeida, E, de Oliveira, EA, Davila, EA, Amani, C, Andrade, A, Aragao, L, Araujo-Murakami, A, Arets, E, Arroyo, L, Ashton, P, Ifo, SAA, Aymard, GAC, Baisie, M, Balee, W, Balinga, M, Banin, LF, Banki, O, Baraloto, C, Malhi, Y, Moore, S

“…We explore whether variation in mortality rate, breeding system and maximum diameter are related to species richness, either directly or via associations with range size, among 463 genera that contain wet tropical forest trees. …”

HYPERION: A HYdrogen PERmeatION Experiment to Quantify Hydrogen Transport in Fusion-Relevant Molten Salts by Cota, Jaron F.

“…The measurement of hydrogen transport properties of molten salts like FLiBe is crucial for the development of advanced nuclear technologies like lithium-bearing liquid immersion breeding blankets for fusion reactors. Tritium production and the quantification of its mobility in these materials is necessary for efficient operation of these technologies. …”

Adjustable wind selectivity in shearwaters implies knowledge of the foraging landscape by Harris, S, Bishop, C, Bond, S, Fernandes, P, Guilford, T, Lewin, P, Padget, O, Robins, P, Schneider, W, Waggitt, J, Wilmes, S, Cordes, L

“…Many seabirds, for example, are adapted to use winds to travel long distances at low energetic cost1,2,3 but also potentially benefit from targeting specific foraging hotspots.4,5,6 To investigate how an animal makes foraging decisions, given the inevitable trade-off between these factors, we tracked over 600 foraging trips of breeding Manx shearwaters (Puffinus puffinus; N = 218 individuals) using GPS accelerometers. …”

Mobilising stone: investigating relations of materiality, movement and corporality in Holocene Saharan rock-art by Waldock, V

“…</p> <p>A singular contribution is the creation of a hypothetical model for small-scale, quotidian pastoralist practices, which expands upon the archaeological evidence, fleshing out details of a well-systematised form of dairy pastoralism involving controlled breeding and the processing of milk products. At the same time it is proposed that the herders’ relationship with their cattle was one of partnership rather than ownership, involving trans-species empathy and a valuation of animal personhood. …”

Reproductive performance and physiological responses in Awassi ewes under intravaginal sponges application and fed Selenium and Vitamin E by Saeed, O.A., Ahmed, N.K., Taha, M.M., Abedal-Majed, M.A., Ali, F.M., Samsudin, A.A.

“…This study was carried out to investigate the impact of feeding selenium (Se) and vitamin E on the physiological and reproductive performance of 18 multiparous Awassi ewes through the breeding season. The ewes received three levels of oral selenium-vitamin E for 60 days until the study was completed. …”

Identification of novel bovine leukocyte antigen alleles and association of BoLA-DRB3.2*020:02:01 with resistance to Theileria orientalis infection in crossbred Kedah-Kelantan catt... by Agina, Onyinyechukwu Ada, Shaari, Mohd Rosly, Md Isa, Nur Mahiza, Ajat, Mokrish, Zamri Saad, Mohd, Hamzah, Hazilawati

“…Sequence-based typing of the BoLA-DRB3.2 gene identified 43 alleles (27 previously reported alleles and 16 novel alleles) across the two cattle breeds. Alignment analysis of the 16 novel alleles revealed 90.7–95.8% and 85–92% nucleotide and amino acid identities, with the reference allele, BoLA-DRB3*016:01 cDNA clone NR-1. …”
