Husbandry factors are associated with skin, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic disorders in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...

Comprehensive and representative conservation planning for biodiversity of ice‐free Antarctica

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Antarctica is designated as a natural reserve devoted to peace and science, with Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) serving as the primary instrument for area‐based biodiversity protection. However, the existing ASPA network lacks the comprehensiveness and representativeness required under Annex V, Article 3(2), of the Madrid Protocol.

Contrastant banana accessions for resistance to the burrowing nematode, based on molecular markers RAPD [PDF]

Euphytica, 2009
This work aimed to proceed molecular characterization of seven banana accessions (Borneo, Grand Naine, 1304-06, 4249-05, 0337-02, 0323-03 and 4279-06) resistance to the nematode Radopholus similis. These accessions were selected taking in account the reproduction factor (RF) among 26 banana genotypes from a working collection belonging to Embrapa ...

Rearing Istocheta aldrichi (Diptera: Tachinidae) From Field‐Collected Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica): 1. Methods to Improve Insect Collection and Parasitoid Pupariation

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We describe methods for collecting and rearing the tachinid parasitoid Istocheta aldrichi from parasitized Japanese beetle adults. Hosts can be collected by hand and reared in the laboratory, or by using modified trap containers with added plant material and substrate to provide suitable conditions for I.

A burrowing ecosystem engineer positively affects its microbial prey under stressful conditions

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Species that facilitate others under stressful conditions are often ecosystem engineers: organisms that modify or create physical habitat. However, the net effect of an engineering species on another depends on both the magnitude of the direct ...

Pharmacokinetics of Moxidectin in Bare‐Nosed Wombats (Vombatus ursinus) After Intravenous, Sub‐Cutaneous and Transdermal Administration

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The anti‐parasitic drug moxidectin is a frontline treatment for sarcoptic mange in bare‐nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus), a disease causing significant animal welfare issues and instances of local population declines. Despite widespread usage, knowledge of species‐specific pharmacokinetics of moxidectin in bare‐nosed wombats is still limited ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Direct measurement of fight or flight behavior in a beetle reveals individual variation and the influence of parasitism.

PLoS ONE, 2019
How and to what degree an animal deals with potential threats is a fascinating topic that has been well-researched, particularly in insects, though usually not with the impact of parasites in mind.

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...
