Exploring how family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease experience role captivity: A qualitative study

open access: yesInternational Psychogeriatrics
Background: Family caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease often find their caregiving role intensely encompassing, which could lead to other areas of their experience being constrained or to “role captivity.” The impact of role captivity on family

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Adaptation to captivity within ex-situ collections of urodela: from behavioural to microbial plasticity.

open access: yes, 2019
peer reviewedAmphibians are currently the animal class facing the highest risk of extinction, notably because of disease outbreaks. Faced with the urgency of the situation, conservation institutions prioritize ex-situ collections to ensure the ...

A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Environment impacts gut microbiome richness in hybridizing chickadees, while ancestry influences community composition

open access: yesEcosphere
Among closely related species, host phylogenetic relationships are typically a stronger predictor of gut microbiome composition than environmental variation.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
