Mechanisms of Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Activity of Extracts of Selected South African Celastraceae and Crassulaceae Plant Species With Known Efficacy Against Bovine Mastitis Bacterial Pathogens. [PDF]

open access: yesScientifica (Cairo)
Inflammation, a complicated reaction to microbial infection or injury, promotes healing under normal circumstances. However, when it becomes uncontrolled, it can result in cell damage or even death. Inflammation is a major feature of infectious mastitis in cattle as well as in humans, with substantial health, welfare and financial challenges ...

Tadpole Skin Secretions, Not Food or Temperature, Mediate Costly Cannibal-Induced Plasticity in Invasive Cane Toad Hatchlings. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Hatchlings of invasive cane toads respond to the risk of cannibalism by accelerating development but experience significant negative carry‐over effects on fitness in the tadpole stage. Our experiments demonstrate that this hatchling response is induced by chemicals located in the skin of older cannibalistic tadpoles. This response is unique to cannibal
