Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Spatial variability in ecosystem services: simple rules for predator-mediated pest suppression [PDF]

, 2010
Agricultural pest control often relies on the ecosystem services provided by the predators of pests. Appropriate landscape and habitat management for pest control services requires an understanding of insect dispersal abilities and the spatial ...

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...

Paradigm shift in wearable bioelectronics: Drift‐free organic field‐effect transistor biosensors enabled by diode‐connected pairs

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Organic field‐effect transistor (OFET)‐based biosensors are promising for wearable technology due to their flexibility and low cost, but their susceptibility to signal drift from mechanical stress and environmental factors remains a challenge. Here, we highlight a novel strategy that eliminates these drifts through a fundamental redesign of the OFET ...

Transcriptome analysis highlights the influence of temperature on hydrolase and traps in nematode-trapping fungi

Frontiers in Microbiology
Pine wilt disease caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus poses a serious threat to the economic and ecological value of forestry. Nematode trapping fungi trap and kill nematodes using specialized trapping devices, which are highly efficient and non-toxic ...
