Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Sharing Is Caring?—Pathogens and Pathogen‐Specific Antibodies in Arctic Endemic Seal Species and the Newly Sympatric Harbor Seals in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change associated transformations of Arctic marine ecosystems are having detrimental impacts on Arctic endemic marine mammals. However, warming conditions are providing new habitats for temperate marine mammals, some of which are expanding into Arctic regions, posing a threat of novel pathogen introduction and disease transmission.

Seroprevalence and Associated Factors of Camel and Human Brucellosis in Dire District, Southern Ethiopia: A One‐Health Perspective

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
The prevalence of camel brucellosis was 4.36%. Being adult, female and large herds were significant risk factors for camel brucellosis. The prevalence of human brucellosis was 3.08%. The presence of a positive animal in the household and camel farmers who consume raw milk were significant factors for human brucellosis.

Impact of Soybean Meal, Mustard Meal, Rapeseed Meal and Black Cumin on Production Performance, Egg Quality and Gut Microflora of Laying Hens

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
The inclusion of novel protein sources such as mustard meal, rapeseed meal and black cumin in layer diets demonstrates promising results without compromising egg quality, improves body weight gain and reduced gut microflora and Escherichia coli. Overall, strategically integrating these alternative protein sources shows potential for cost savings ...

Seroprevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Brucellosis in Backyard Dairy Cattle in the Western Buffer Zone of Chitwan National Park, Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
A 1.56% prevalence of Brucella abortus antibodies was detected by Ab‐ELISA in backyard dairy cattle in Chitwan, Nepal. Risk factors were not significantly associated with infection, and untested wildlife reservoirs were identified. These findings highlight the need for more systematic, comprehensive studies.
