The Southernmost Known Population of the Monito Del Monte, Dromiciops gliroides
A range extension for a relict south American marsupial. ABSTRACT The monito del monte (genus Dromiciops) is a small arboreal marsupial endemic to the temperate rainforests of southern South America, and the sole extant representative of the order Microbiotheria. This lineage, considered a sister group of Australian marsupials, is of great evolutionary,

Shorebirds typically spend more time fueling and refueling during migration than they spend in actual flight, and consequently their stopover ecology has important implications for fitness and conservation. We examined spatial variation and long‐term changes in stopover duration of radio‐tagged western sandpipers Calidris mauri over three decades on ...

Balancing moult, migration, and breeding in a long‐lived partially migrant raptor
Moult, breeding, and migration are the three major life‐history events in the annual cycle of birds. All are energetically demanding processes that rarely overlap. In large raptors such as the Egyptian vulture Neophron percnopterus, completing a full moult may take more than one year, requiring birds to balance this process with other life‐cycle events.

Cost of migration increased during an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus
Migration is thought to be costly such that challenges faced during migration likely affect how birds migrate through direct selection on migratory behavior. Survival throughout the annual cycle and conditions that affect the survival costs of migration are therefore critical to our understanding of the causes and consequences of migration.

Tui Na Acupressure Modulates Treg Immunosuppression via FoxP3/mTORC1 Signalling in ALS Mice
The proposed mechanism by which Tui Na acupressure improves motor and cognitive dysfunction in ALS mice by activating the FoxP3/mTORC1 pathway. ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease driven by neuroinflammation, where regulatory T cell (Treg) dysfunction exacerbates immune imbalance.

Vitamin D status in our pilot study was associated with higher levels of certain amino acids and hexanoic acid in breast milk and metabolites in infant stool samples. Abstract Human milk contains multiple bioactive components, many of which are influenced by the mother's nutritional status.

Quick-quick-slow: the foxtrot migration and dynamic non-breeding range of the Arctic raptor
Abstract Advances in tracking technologies have revealed the diverse migration patterns of birds, which are critical for range mapping and population estimation. While population trends are typically estimated in breeding ranges where birds remain stationary, trends are commonly assessed in non-breeding ranges for species that breed in ...

Predator-prey interactions of raptors in an arctic environment
This thesis concerns the predator-prey interactions of three raptor species in a Swedish arctic community: the gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus), the rough-legged buzzard (Buteo lagopus) and the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos). The gyrfalcon behaved like a highly specialised ptarmigan (Lagopus spp.) predator.
