Comparative Investigation of the Effects of Season (Summer–Winter) and Sex on Tear Production and Intraocular Pressure in Saanen and Honamlı Goats

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effects of season (summer vs. winter) and sex on tear production (Schirmer tear test; STT‐I) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in Honamlı and Saanen goats raised under similar environmental conditions. Materials and Methods A total of 120 clinically healthy goats (Honamlı and Saanen; 30 females and 30 males per breed ...

Reduced West Antarctic Ice Sheet Size During Prominent Quaternary Interglacials Constrained by Iceberg‐Rafted Debris Provenance in the Amundsen Sea

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) remains a major uncertainty in sea‐level projections, and geologic records provide important constraints on its past behavior. We present 40Ar/39Ar ages of biotite and hornblende grains from iceberg‐rafted debris (IRD) in two Amundsen Sea sediment cores (PC493 and PS58/254), located south ...

Targeting Myostatin for Sustainable Meat Production: Insights From Multiple Species

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Myostatin gene (MSTN), a TGF‐β superfamily member, negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth, positioning it as a prime genetic target for enhancing livestock meat production. This review synthesizes evidence from 1979 to 2025 on MSTN mutations across cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, and rabbits, emphasising impacts on yield, quality ...

Investigating the Predation Risk of Coastal Dolphins via the Presence of Shark Bite Scars Across Southeast Queensland, Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Shark bite scars were analysed on coastal dolphins in southeast Queensland, Australia to compare the predation risk between species and habitats. Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) exhibited the highest bite rates and individuals found in sheltered waters had higher shark bite scar prevalence than open waters.

The King in the Crosshairs: Evidence of a Predation Attempt on European Bison by Wolves

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
To our knowledge, we present the first video‐recorded evidence of wolves attacking a European bison herd in the BPF. The European bison, often referred to as the king of the forest, is generally described as a non‐prey species, but historical data and our recent documented observation provide clear evidence that they can be subjected to wolf predation.
