Living in the Pyrocene: Assemblage‐Wide Terrestrial Vertebrate Responses to Mega‐Fires in the Pantanal Wetlands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
More than 60% of Serra do Amolar within the Pantanal Wetlands, Brazil, was burned in 2020. Nine vertebrate species showed a dependency on forest areas, which are more vulnerable to fires in this region, despite the fire not having shown a direct effect on the occupation.

Exploring the Quality of Historic DNA From Pinned Beetles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dry‐preserved museum specimens offer valuable but degraded DNA for genomic studies, making extraction method choice crucial. We found that an oligo‐focused silica‐column protocol yielded higher‐quality short DNA fragments than standard silica or precipitation methods, and that specimen age mainly reduced fragment length and locus recovery, while DNA ...

Sexual Dimorphism as a Potential Driver of Trophic Specialisation in a Sedentary Synanthropic Bat Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Female common serotine bats (Cnephaeus serotinus) are consistently larger than males in forearm length, wing area and mandibular dimensions related to bite force. Wing dimorphism reflects isometric size scaling rather than shape divergence, suggesting compensation for pregnancy‐related mass increases.

Dose Titration of Plant‐Based Flavonoid Blend Supplementation on Performance, Digestibility, Gut Microbiome, Blood Biomarkers, and Meat Quality of Growing Rabbits

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Plant‐based flavonoid blend (PFB) at 0.60 g/kg diet produced the best growth performance, feed efficiency, and dry matter digestibility in growing rabbits. It also improved gut microbiome balance and increased serum high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol.

One Health Insights From Pteropus medius: Nipah Virus Spillover, Microbiota, and Antimicrobial Resistance

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Environmental and anthropogenic drivers of antibiotic resistance dissemination. The cycle reinforces how anthropogenic inputs, such as sewage, animal dung, hospital effluent, and agricultural runoff bring resistant bacteria and antibiotic residues into soil and water.
