Three teams of researchers working independently have conducted three specific studies of ruminants—a class of mammals that obtains nutrients from plants by fermenting it in chambered stomachs. The ...
While the ruminant gut archaeome regulates the gut microbiota and hydrogen balance, it is also a major producer of the greenhouse gas methane. However, ruminant gut archaeome diversity within the ...
Evolutionary biologists aim to form fundamental connections between microevolutionary processes and macroevolutionary patterns based on comparative datasets of population-level variation. In a new ...
The global livestock sector emitted 65 TgN yr −1 in 2010, accounting for one-third of total anthropogenic reactive nitrogen (Nr) emissions 1. The whole livestock production chain generated ...
