Antibodies and Inflammation: Fecal Biomarkers of Gut Health in Domestic Ruminants
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 343, Issue 4, Page 468-479, May 2025.ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal infections present major challenges to ruminant livestock systems, and gut health is a key constraint on fitness, welfare, and productivity. Fecal biomarkers present opportunities to monitor animal health without using invasive methods, and with greater resolution compared to observational metrics.

Sedimentary ancient DNA from caves: Challenges and opportunities
Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 565-578, May 2025.Abstract Caves are unique depositional environments that hold great potential for long‐term preservation of DNA due to their typically cool and stable internal climates, buffered from external climate extremes. Bones from caves have long been recognised as an excellent source of ancient DNA, yet the potential for DNA preservation in cave sediments ...

Geometric Morphometrics of Astragalus and Shape Variation Analysis in Capra, Ovis, and Bovidae
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.It was investigated whether taxonomic differences have an effect on shape using bovine, sheep, and capra astragalus. Shape variation of sheep, goat, and bovine astragalus was evaluated by the geometric morphometry method. Similar and different findings were obtained from the literature in terms of these features. The variation was seen at landmarks LM3,

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, April 2025.ABSTRACT The African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), a critically endangered species, is a megaherbivore that browses and transforms large quantities and varieties of vegetation during its foraging activities and movements. However, the cascading effects of this ‘ecosystem engineer’ on animal biodiversity are poorly known. In this study, based on
