Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.This graphical abstract depicts the number of additional fish that would be required to achieve 90% genetic diversity for endangered pupfish species housed in EAZA collections, with or without the use of cryopreserved material. ABSTRACT Zoos and aquaria must retain genetic diversity for the species they house if the populations are to remain viable ...

Improving ARTs: Microfluidics as a Tool for Sperm Selection
Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sperm selection is a critical step in assisted reproductive technology (ART), as sperm quality directly influences embryo quality. In vivo, the female reproductive tract imposes several physical and physiological barriers that favors only the most optimal spermatozoa reaching the fertilization site.

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Mammalian sperm need to undergo hyperactivation, capacitation, and acrosome reaction to achieve fertilization competence. However, the female reproductive tract presents contrasting metabolic environments. The uterus is glucose‐rich, and the oviduct is lactate‐rich and glucose‐limited.

Basal body temperature as a biomarker of reproductive state in ewes: A multi‐method comparison
Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.This study quantified body temperature dynamics throughout reproductive stages in crossbred ewes based on complementary monitoring techniques. Five ewes from a semi‐extensive farming system were included in two sub‐trials: animals were first assessed in the prepubertal stage and, subsequently, an oestrous cycle was induced by intravaginal progesterone ...

Children &Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.

Veterinary Medicine and ScienceRam sperm are more vulnerable to freezing than those of most other farm animals. During sperm freezing, the cell membrane loses some of its cholesterol, which regulates signalling mechanisms and prevents premature capacitation.
