Conservation Management Strategies Shape Glucocorticoid Levels in African Elephant Populations More Than Parasite Load

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 4, Page 295-304, August 2026.
Understanding the factors influencing physiological stress is essential for interpreting how wildlife responds to contrasting environmental and management conditions. Across 19 South African elephant populations, we found that smaller reserves, self‐drive tourism, and high elephant density under low vegetation productivity were associated with elevated

All roads lead to infection: A mechanistic model to assess transmission routes of brucellosis in a wild ungulate population

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2158-2172, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wildlife and domestic populations frequently share diseases with a potential for cross‐species transmission, posing significant threats to animal and human health, economy and biodiversity conservation.

Diagnostic Value of Spinal Cord Lesion Metabolism on [18F]FDG PET/CT for the Classification of Myelopathy

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 7, July 2026.
[18F]FDG PET/CT is frequently performed in the diagnostic work‐up of myelopathies of uncertain etiology, but spinal cord uptake is often overlooked. In this retrospective study of 106 patients, we show that analysis of spinal cord FDG uptake helps to discriminate tumoral lesions from inflammatory and granulomatous causes, while distinguishing primary ...

Masting Breakdown in European Beech Reduces Fitness Benefits of Masting, Partly Explained by Climate Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Synchrony and inter‐annual variation in annual seed production of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) strongly declined over time, resulting in a masting breakdown. As a consequence, predation rsik for seeds strongly increased, while pollination success declined.

Who Falls After a Stroke? Evidence From a Prospective Stroke Cohort

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using principal component analysis and lesion network mapping, we identified lesion‐derived functional networks underlying mobility impairment, gait dysfunction, and fall risk in a subacute stroke cohort, and characterized the network disruptions associated with fall risk.

Renal function deterioration in adult patients with type-2 diabetes

open access: yesBMC Nephrology, 2020
Background To explore, in a large group of patients with type-2 diabetes (T2DM), renal function decline in terms of the slope of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over time, and to find out how classical risk factors, such as the presence ...

Evolutionary and Ecological Determinants of the Phenology of Births in Wild Large Herbivores, a Systematic Review

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
This semi‐systematic review supports the two dominant drivers of birth phenology: the seasonality and predation hypotheses. Even though there is evidence of their importance, the effects of female, offspring and population characteristics remain marginally accounted for. Asian and South and Central American species are currently understudied.

Quality of record linkage in a highly automated cancer registry that relies on encrypted identity data

open access: yesGMS Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie, 2016
Objectives: In the absence of unique ID numbers, cancer and other registries in Germany and elsewhere rely on identity data to link records pertaining to the same patient. These data are often encrypted to ensure privacy.
