Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 411-420, March 2026.This study investigates the potential adaptive advantages of female‐specific UV‐induced fluorescence in male mate‐choice and predation risk, as fitness costs, using two species of ornate jumping spiders Phintella vittata and Ph. bifurcilinea. Our findings provide empirical evidence of a trade‐off: While fluorescence enhances male mate preference, it ...

Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 650-667, March 2026.Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.

Gonadulin and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Involved in Rhipicephalus microplus Reproduction
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 285-295, March 2026.Insulin‐like growth factor (IGF2) in ovaries of Rhipicephalus microplus partially engorged females. Ovaries from females at different feeding stages were used to detect IGF2. ABSTRACT Gonadulin and insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) are neuropeptides synthesized by the central nervous system (CNS) of arthropods.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023
Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 486-496, March 2026.Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

Forest Degradation and Weather Jointly Affect Early‐Life Development in a Tropical Understory Bird
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.More than a decade of field data from Kenya's Taita Hills show that forest degradation and warming jointly shape nestling development in a tropical forest bird. Nestlings in small or degraded forest patches had poorer condition, especially during low rainfall, while intact high‐canopy forests buffered them against drought and heat. Wings and tarsi were
