Validating gut flushing as a non‐lethal sampling technique for diet monitoring in agastric fish

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐lethal diet sampling is essential where individual‐level monitoring and welfare matter, yet evidence on season‐long outcomes in agastric fishes is scarce. We tested syringe‐based gut flushing in pond‐reared common carp Cyprinus carpio over one growing season (April–September) using PIT‐tagged fish assigned a priori to three handling ...

The variability of giraffe skull morphology

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
What does giraffe skull shape tell us about their development and evolution? Abstract Giraffe (Giraffa spp.) are among the most unique and charismatic extant animals, largely due to their distinct morphology. The evolutionary and developmental origin of ossicones is a key factor in giraffid biology, yet other features building their characteristic head

Psychophysical changes after total sleep deprivation and experimental muscle pain

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Sleep disturbances exacerbate chronic pain, increase psychological load, and increase inflammation. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) mimics aspects of chronic pain, predominantly affecting peripheral pain mechanisms, while experimental sleep provocations have been shown to impact central pain mechanisms.
