TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis was performed using information from 45 experiments in 42 published manuscripts to quantify the combined effect of housing conditions and environmental enrichment on the behavior and performance of pigs.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the observed variations of milk lactose yield (and other milk components) are linked to metabolic interchanges between several energetic nutrients at both the whole-body and mammary levels and are not explained by increases in whole- body glucose availability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the nutritional performance of novel dairy products, based on whey proteins and which mimicked different commercial cheese textures was compared using an in-vitro digestion protocol.

TL;DR: It is shown that the production/biomass (P / B ) ratio, used in many ecosystem models and particularly in the EwE software, can be considered a measure of this speed of the trophic flow, and an empirical model is proposed that expresses the P / B ratio as a generic function of the Trophic level and the mean water temperature.

TL;DR: In insight into the critical oceanic phase of the eel life cycle with a focus on the duration of the larval migration whose estimates varies between 7 months and more than 2 years in both species, it is shown that estimates in favour of a long migration duration seem more robust to methodological caveats than methods estimating short durations of migration.
Abstract: Oceanic larvae of the European (Anguilla anguilla) and American (A. rostrata) eels have to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the Sargasso Sea to European or North American coasts before entering continental habitats. In some European rivers, eel recruitment is now <1% of levels in the 1980s. A better understanding of the effects of anthropogenic pressures and environmental fluctuations on eel larvae and subsequent recruitment is a prerequisite to build efficient management plans. The present paper provides insight into the critical oceanic phase of the eel life cycle with a focus on the duration of the larval migration whose estimates varies between 7 months and more than 2 years in both species. Does this range correspond to a natural variability in larval duration or does it stem from methodological artefacts? We first review the different methods used to estimate the duration of larval migration and critically describe their possible sources of misinterpretation. We then evaluate the consistency of these methods with the current knowledge about the ecology and physiology of eel larvae and the physical oceanography. While a moderate discrepancy in migration duration was found between methods for the American eel, the discrepancy was large in the European eel. In this species, otolith microstructure studies indicated migration durations between 7 and 9 months, while other methods pointed to durations of about 2 years. We show that estimates in favour of a long migration duration seem more robust to methodological caveats than methods estimating short durations of migration.
