Wildlife health risk analysis for conservation translocation: A scalable approach illustrated for wader population restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
We present a methodological framework for health risk analysis (disease risk analysis) for conservation translocation that enables the process to be scaled and adapted to the project context. We illustrate its application to two wader (shorebird) population restoration projects with differing translocation plans.

ILAE neuroimaging task force highlight: The utility of multimodal neuroimaging in diagnostic and presurgical workup of drug‐resistant focal epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 439-450, June 2025.
Abstract The ILAE Neuroimaging Task Force publishes educational case reports that highlight basic aspects of neuroimaging in epilepsy, consistent with ILAE's educational mission. In patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy who are candidates for surgical intervention, the identification of structural abnormalities is a strong predictor of favorable ...

Museum collections reveal a global range of Ophryocystis parasites in Danaus butterflies

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 552-564, June 2025.
We analysed 2727 museum specimens from 61 butterfly species across 86 countries to document the occurrence and host range of Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (OE) and related parasites in milkweed butterflies. Ophryocystis parasites infected Danaus petilia (16%), D. plexippus (12%), D. chrysippus (11%), D. gilippus (4%) and D.

Dancing with foxes: More‐than‐human design in ‘the chicken city’

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Urban chicken‐keeping is on the rise in London, in private gardens, community gardens, allotments, schools, and urban farm projects. In welcoming chickens into the city, urban spaces are being transformed: coops are being built, runs constructed, chicken‐friendly flora introduced, and space landscaped to accommodate both chickens and humans ...

Pharmacokinetics of Milbemycin Oxime in Pekingese Dogs after Single Oral and Intravenous Administration

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
This study evaluates the pharmacokinetics of milbemycin oxime in Pekingese dogs after oral (tablet and nanoemulsion) and intravenous administration. The nanoemulsion showed faster absorption, higher peak concentration, and near‐complete bioavailability (99.26%) compared to tablets (51.44%), suggesting its potential as a superior alternative for ...
