Molecular Detection and Characterization of the First Cowpox Virus Isolate Derived from a Bank Vole
Cowpox virus (CPXV) is a zoonotic orthopoxvirus (OPV) that infects a wide range of mammals. CPXV-specific DNA and antibodies were detected in different vole species, such as common voles (Microtus arvalis) and bank voles (Myodes glareolus).

Different host species often differ considerably in susceptibility to a given pathogen, but the causes of such differences are rarely known. The natural hosts of the tick‐transmitted bacterium Borrelia afzelii, which is one of causative agents of Lyme ...

In nature, host specificity has a strong impact on the parasite’s distribution, prevalence, and genetic diversity. The host’s population dynamics is expected to shape the distribution of host-specific parasites.

Excretion of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci by Wild Mammals
A survey of fecal samples found enterococcal excretion in 82% of 388 bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus), 92% of 131 woodmice (Apodemus sylvaticus), and 75% of 165 badgers (Meles meles). Vancomycin-resistant enterococci, all Enterococcus faecium of vanA

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

A proof of concept for linking individual identity to camera traps
Small mammal movements are difficult to monitor, both visually and with remote tracking devices, due to the animals' small body size and elusive behavior. Cameras deployed at fixed locations can provide continuous, non‐invasive records in natural habitats, yet camera‐derived indices remain sparsely validated and generally do not allow inference at the ...
