Bisoniana LXVIII. Comparative winter bioenergetics of American bison, yak, Scottish highland and Hereford calves
Open accessAbstract
American bison, yak, Scottish Highland and Hereford calves were used in a comparative study of metabolic responses to temperature of 20, 0 and -30°C. Metabolic rates were lowest in the bison, highest in the Herefords and intermediate in the Highland and yak. Przeprowadzono porównawcze badania nad zapotrzebowaniem energetycznym u bizona, jaka oraz bydła (ras - Scottish Highland i Hereford) w temperaturach 20, 0 i -30°C (Tabela 1). Tempo metabolizmu było najniższe u bizona, najwyższe u bydła rasy Hereford, a pośrednie u jaka i bydła rasy Scottish Highland (Tabela 2).

Unlike some other species of Bos, yaks possess physiological adaptations to the extreme conditions of high elevation, high solar radiation, low temperature, and aridity under which they live.
“Unlikesome other species of Bos, yaks possess physiological adaptations to the extreme conditions of high elevation, high solar radiation, low temperature, and aridity under which they live (Christopherson et al. 1978;Prasad 1997;Wiener et al. 2003).”
From Bos grunniens and Bos mutus (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) (2009) · cites this paper as Christopherson et al. 1978
The comparative winter bioenergetics results (Table 3; article pp. 49–54) show that yak calves had greater thermal insulation than Hereford calves, supporting a difference relevant to cold conditions. The paper describes yaks as living in cold mountainous environments, but does not establish physiological adaptations to high elevation, high solar radiation, or aridity. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
