A Structural Model of Mortgage Offset Accounts in the Australian Housing Market*

open access: yesEconomic Record, Volume 102, Issue 336, Page 3-26, March 2026.
I study a novel institutional feature of Australian housing markets: the widespread use of mortgage offset accounts. These accounts reduce mortgage interest costs and increase mortgage liquidity. I build a heterogeneous agent life‐cycle model of the Australian housing market to study who uses and benefits from these mortgage products.

The Effectiveness of Postharvest Processing on Microbiological Safety of Game Meat—A Systematic Review

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The rising global consumption of game meat has highlighted gaps in the management of biological hazards associated with its production and consumption, and the safety of processed game meat products remain insufficiently addressed. Therefore, there is a need for research evaluating the effectiveness of processing and preservation methods in ...

Lactate inhibits glucose‐induced zigzag motility and enhances linear motility in bull spermatozoa by suppressing glycolysis

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 933-945, March 2026.
Abstract Background Energy metabolism and substrate balance are critical determinants of sperm motility and fertility. Linear motility is necessary for sperm forward movement, whereas hyperactivated motility is a prerequisite for fertilization. The preference of metabolic pathways depends on substrate availability which controls sperm motility. However,

The Oxytocin Receptor in Spermatozoa May Originate From Both Spermatogenesis and Epididymal Maturation, and Regulates Capacitation

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 747-765, March 2026.
Abstract Background The oxytocin receptor (OR) is a G‐protein‐coupled receptor recently identified in human spermatozoa, whose origin and role in sperm physiology remain unknown. Objectives In this study, using the pig as a model, we examine the presence of the OR in ejaculated spermatozoa through immunofluorescence and immunoblotting, and investigate ...

Investigating the Potential Consequences of Woodland Creation for British Mammal Populations

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We simulated the conversion of suitable areas in the UK to woodland, according to the current and target woodland creation rates, and assessed how this would affect habitat availability and potential population sizes of British mammals. We predicted that most assessed mammals would benefit or be unaffected by planned woodland creation, but some ...

Integrating the Microbiome Into Infection Ecology and Evolution in Wild Animals

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasites are a ubiquitous force in nature threatening wildlife populations and ecosystems. Interactions between hosts and their parasites are impacted by host‐associated microbiomes, which are essential for host development, physiology and immunity.

Sperm quality improvement of cryopreserved boar semen through colloidal centrifugation gradient

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science
Boar semen cryopreservation is limited due to the lower thermal shock resistance of sperm cells. A colloidal centrifugation gradient is an enhancement to cryopreservation that could improve the frozen boar semen quality.

Fetal Bovine Serum Is Essential for Maintaining Viability of Porcine Blastocysts During Extended In Vitro Culture: A Comparative Study With Defined Supplements

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Extended in vitro culture (EIVC) of porcine embryos beyond Day 7 is critical for understanding peri‐implantation development but remains technically challenging due to the rapid degeneration of blastocysts. While defined serum‐free supplements, such as B27 and growth factor cocktails (FGF2, LIF, IGF1; FLI), have successfully supported EIVC in ...

Cryopreservation of boar semen

open access: yes, 2012
The work in hand investigates storage time and freezability of epididymal Mangalica boar semen regarding several quality parameters of the spermatozoa after storage both at 5°C and 17°C for 24 hours followed by freezing and thawing. The results obtained from the work should help to support the survival of the species by saving genetic material for the ...
