Detection of Leptospira in cane toads (Rhinella jimi) from urban and rural Paraíba, Brazil. [PDF]
Vet RecAbstract Background Leptospirosis is a significant zoonosis in tropical regions, where poor sanitation and favourable climate aid its spread. Synanthropic animals such as the cane toad (Rhinella jimi), which share environments with both people and wild and domestic animals, may harbour Leptospira and contribute to urban and rural transmission cycles ...

Environmental Variability Shapes Life-History Trade-Offs Within and Between Populations of a Long-Lived Seabird. [PDF]
Ecol LettLife‐history theory predicts a trade‐off between allocation of resources to reproduction or self‐maintenance, yet how environmental variability shapes this trade‐off remains poorly understood. We show that black‐browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris) breeding in more variable environments display slower life histories (slow, late‐onset ...

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1739-1755, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Despite evidence about the contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) to conservation, prevailing strategies still seek their separation from nature, often triggering conflicts. Current pledges to expand global protected area coverage suggest a need for the critical analysis of governance quality and the way conservation ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 243, Issue 6, Page 910-935, December 2023., 2023 This study uses X‐ray computed tomography (μCT) to three dimensionally reconstruct the bronchial tree of the marsupial Gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) in order to reveal the timeline of branching morphogenesis. During the postnatal period, the volumes of the lung and bronchial tree steadily increase and development, differentiation ...

Oral transmission of Chagas disease from a One Health approach: A systematic review
Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 689-698, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Objective To analyse acute Chagas disease (CD) outbreaks through a qualitative systematic review and discuss the determinants for its prevention and control. Methods Review of studies in which clinical cases of oral transmission were confirmed by parasitological and/or serological tests that included an epidemiological investigation of sources

Global distribution and richness of terrestrial mammals in tidal marshes
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 598-612, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Understanding the determinants of species distribution and richness is key to explaining global ecological patterns. We examined the current knowledge about terrestrial mammals in tidal marshes and evaluated whether species richness increased with the marsh surface area and/or with their proximity to the equator and whether species ...

Pitfalls of using sequence databases for heterologous expression studies – a technical review
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1611-1623, 1 May 2023., 2023 Abstract figure legend Projects involving heterologous gene expression are often characterised by similar steps. Initially, database research (A) is necessary to retrieve information of full or partial sequences of a gene of interest. A multitude of genome assemblies are annotated and deposited in public databases or are available for refined search ...

Ethology, Volume 129, Issue 1, Page 33-46, January 2023., 2023 Seasonal variation in temperature and food abundance strongly influences life history and behaviour. For animals living in non‐tropical regions, seasonal variation can be reliably predicted by photoperiod and be used for plastic adjustments. Here, we tested if maternal behaviour of the precocial cavy (Cavia aperea) responds to photoperiodic cues and ...

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Hantaviruses are the causative agents of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas. In Central and South America, 28 hantavirus lineages were associated with different Sigmodontinae rodents. Of these, Lechiguanas hantavirus was initially described as a lineage associated with HPS cases in the central region of Argentina.
