Arrival and Peak Abundance of Barn Swallows Hirundo rustica in Three Regions of South Africa in Relation to Climate Indices, Deduced from Bird Atlas Data

Birds
For three regions of South Africa (Greater Gauteng, Greater Cape Town and Greater Durban) with the greatest coverage by bird atlas (SABAP2) fieldwork, we related arrival timing and abundance in each region of a long-distance migrant bird, the Barn ...

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Climate in Europe and Africa Sequentially Shapes the Spring Passage of Long-Distance Migrants at the Baltic Coast in Europe

Diversity
Since the 1980s, earlier European springs have led to the earlier arrival of migrant passerines. We predict that arrival is related to a suite of climate indices operating during the annual cycle (breeding, autumn migration, wintering, spring migration ...

Fasting and Refeeding Mediated Phospholipid Remodeling Plays an Important Role in Improving Meat Quality of Aged Laying Hens

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored fasting‐induced physiological remodeling effects on meat quality in aged laying hens. Fasting for 15 days (F15) significantly reduced abdominal fat, intermuscular fat width, subcutaneous fat thickness, and liver index versus pre‐fasting (F0) (p < 0.05), which recovered post‐refeeding.

Integrating One Health to Mitigate the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock and Aquaculture

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Autologous Biologic Augmentation Using Biceps Tendon Redirection and Incorporation

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract The long head of the biceps tendon is a valuable autologous tissue for biologic augmentation in rotator cuff repair. Redirecting the long head of the biceps tendon can enhance its role as a humeral head depressor, limiting superior humeral head migration, and improving rotator cuff force couple and shoulder biomechanics. Incorporating the long
