Laterality of Eye Use by Bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) and Rough-toothed (Steno bredanensis) Dolphins While Viewing Predictable and Unpredictable Stimuli [PDF]

, 2020
Laterality of eye use has been increasingly studied in cetaceans. Research supports that many cetacean species keep prey on the right side while feeding and preferentially view unfamiliar objects with the right eye.

Development and Characterization of Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)/Chitosan/Collagen Blends for the Treatment of Burn Wounds

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 15, April 15, 2026.
Schematic illustration of the poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/collagen blend, highlighting the main physicochemical characterization results and the biological evaluations performed in an in vivo burn model. ABSTRACT Burns are complex injuries that require effective and multifunctional therapeutic approaches.

Toxoplasma gondii and related parasites in beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) harvested as country foods by Inuit hunters in Nunavut, Canada

Arctic Science
Toxoplasma gondii is a very common zoonotic parasite in humans and animals worldwide. Human seroprevalence is particularly high in some regions of Canada’s North and is thought to be associated with the consumption of traditionally prepared country foods.

Why, Immunologically, Housing‐Related Fungi and Endotoxins (and Other Chronic Pro‐Inflammatory Stressors) Risk Latent Tuberculosis Reactivation, Severe Asthma, and Translocating and Invasive Infections in Indigenous Communities in Canada

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Type 1/M1/TH1 and type 3/M1/TH17 pro‐inflammatory switches are risks for latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) reactivation and ongoing infection transmission. This paper considers the heavy toll of reactivation risk in Indigenous communities in Canada and the chronic, everyday pro‐inflammatory stressors connected with type 3/M1/TH17 immune ...

Beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) granulocytes and monocytes display variable responses to in vitro pressure exposures

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015
While it is widely known that marine mammals possess adaptations which allow them to make repetitive and extended dives to great depths without suffering ill effects seen in humans, the response of marine mammal immune cells to diving is unknown. Renewed

La contamination du béluga de l’estuaire du Saint-Laurent par les polluants organiques persistants en revue [PDF]

, 2009
Le béluga de l’estuaire du Saint-Laurent (ESL) est une espèce menacée de disparition. L’une des causes contribuant à la précarité de cette population serait liée à son exposition à des composés chimiques toxiques.

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 970-1002, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...
