The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Moist Heat Stress on a Hotter Earth (2020, background): “Horses and cattle die when core temperatures reach ∼ 43°C for extended periods of time (Gaughan et al. 2009), as do humans (Simon 1993).”
Metabolic and hormonal acclimation to heat stress in domesticated ruminants. (2010, background): “In particular, fatter cattle (subcutaneous fat acts like insulation and slows heat dissipation), cattle with a heavy hair coat (more insulation) and darker-coated animals (black and dark red cattle) are very sensitive to heat (Brown-Brandl et al., 2006; Gaughan et al., 2009b).”
Adaptation to hot climate and strategies to alleviate heat stress in livestock production. (2012, methodology): “In a comprehensive review, Gaughan et al. (2009) reported a higher occurrence of mastitis in dairy cows during periods of heat stress and they hypothesized that hot conditions could favor the development of pathogens responsible for mastitis and/or have negative effects on the animals’ immune…”
Livestock production in a changing climate: adaptation and mitigation research in Australia (2012, background): “…effects could potentially result in changes in the types of animals and genotypes that are used, changes in facilities and housing utilised for care and management of livestock, and eventually a potential redistribution of livestock and livestock species in a region (Gaughan et al. 1999, 2009).”
