A shift from cattle to camel and goat farming can sustain milk production with lower inputs and emissions in north sub-Saharan Africa's drylands

Jaber Rahimi et al.

Summary: Shifting from cattle farming to camels and goats can lead to more sustainable milk production in the drylands of north sub-Saharan Africa, where climate change is causing heat stress and resource scarcity. Increasing the populations of goats and camels while reducing the number of dairy cattle can result in higher milk production, lower water and feed resource demands, and reduced emissions.

Climate change and variability perceptions and adaptations of pastoralists' communities in the Maasai Steppe, Tanzania

Happiness J. Nnko et al.

Summary: Designing effective adaptation strategies to climate change requires understanding people's perceptions of climate change. A study on Maasai communities in the Maasai Steppe found that climate change impacts livestock productivity, leading to adaptations like trekking livestock and livestock-based donations. Education level was found to influence household decisions on adaptation.

A global carbon and nitrogen isotope perspective on modern and ancient human diet

Michael Bird et al.

Summary: Research shows that the breadth of isotopic dietary diversity across modern nonsubsistence populations has decreased by two-thirds due to the rise of industrialized agriculture and global food distribution networks. In contrast, prior to industrial agriculture, humans exhibited a broad diet which has persisted in modern subsistence populations.

Seasonal dynamics of diet-gut microbiota interaction in adaptation of yaks to life at high altitude

Na Guo et al.

Summary: Dietary composition for yaks on the Tibetan plateau was more diverse in winter than in summer, with Gramineae and Rosaceae consumed frequently year-round. Seasonal dietary changes led to consistent turnover in gut microbiota composition, with yaks shifting enterotypes between warm and cold seasons to optimize nitrogen and energy utilization in harsh conditions. This study sheds light on the seasonal diet-microbiota linkages in mammalian adaptation to high altitudes.
