Personality Matters: Owner‐Ascribed Personality Predicts Range Size Tendencies and Predation Behavior in Domestic Cats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Free‐ranging domestic cats (Felis catus) can impact wildlife through predation and landscape of fear. We monitored 23 suburban cats south of Paris using GPS collars and animal‐borne cameras and assessed personality traits via owner questionnaires.

Diet of the weasel in Hungary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The diet of weasel (Mustela nivalis) collected in agricultural mosaic plain regions of Hugary was studied using the analysis of stomach and rectum contents (n = 155).

Cofactor and glycosylation preferences for in vitro prion conversion are predominantly determined by strain conformation.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2020
Prion diseases are caused by the misfolding of a host-encoded glycoprotein, PrPC, into a pathogenic conformer, PrPSc. Infectious prions can exist as different strains, composed of unique conformations of PrPSc that generate strain-specific biological ...

The Dentate Gyrus Grows Throughout Life Despite Turnover of Developmentally‐Born Neurons

open access: yesHippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Adult‐born hippocampal neurons are highly plastic but there remains uncertainty about the magnitude of neurogenesis and its long‐term functional consequences. Theoretical predictions indicate that adult neurogenesis should lead to substantial growth of the dentate gyrus (DG) granule cell population.

Spatial-scale dependencies in the predation of seeds by rodents [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Summary 1. Previous studies have shown rates of seed predation in deciduous woodland to be high (on average 60%) and extremely variable in space and time. 2.

Evidence for novel hepaciviruses in rodents.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2013
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is among the most relevant causes of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Research is complicated by a lack of accessible small animal models.

Regulatory Variation in Functionally Polymorphic Globin Genes of the Bank Vole: A Possible Role for Adaptation

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Interaction between gene expression and protein-coding genetic variation is increasingly being appreciated as an important source of adaptive phenotypic variation. In this study, we used reverse transcription–qPCR to test for gene expression variation in

Individual variation in perceived density of conspecifics and its impacts on the realization of ecological niches

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Animals gather information about their surroundings, including their social environment, using a wide range of sensory modalities. Variation in reception, processing and interpretation of information (cues or signals) can lead to differences in how individuals perceive their local environment. Yet, how individual differences in environmental perception

A cationic tetrapyrrole inhibits toxic activities of the cellular prion protein [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Prion diseases are rare neurodegenerative conditions associated with the conformational conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) into PrPSc, a self-replicating isoform (prion) that accumulates in the central nervous system of affected individuals.

Local adaptation and future climate vulnerability in a wild rodent

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
As climate change continues, species pushed outside their physiological tolerance limits must adapt or face extinction. When change is rapid, adaptation will largely harness ancestral variation, making the availability and characteristics of that ...
