Food Subsidy Effects on Host Foraging Behavior Shape Host–Macroparasite Infection Dynamics
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Wildlife behavioral responses to different distributions of food subsidies could shape encounter and infection intensity of environmentally transmitted parasites. Using a mathematical model, we show that the way in which food subsidy changes transmission rate and variation in parasite burdens (e.g., through changes in time spent foraging and variation ...

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.

An analysis of Apulian micromammal populations by studying owl's pellets
Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2000 <strong>Abstract</strong> The study contains data from 3302 preys found in Barn owl pellets from 15 sites within the Provinces of Foggia and Bari (Apulia, Southern Italy). Eleven micromammal species were identified.

Local adaptation and future climate vulnerability in a wild rodent
Nature Communications, 2023 As climate change continues, species pushed outside their physiological tolerance limits must adapt or face extinction. When change is rapid, adaptation will largely harness ancestral variation, making the availability and characteristics of that ...

Human Hantavirus Infections, Sweden
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 The prevalent human hantavirus disease in Sweden is nephropathia epidemica, which is caused by Puumala virus and shed by infected bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus).

Long-term spatiotemporal stability and dynamic changes in helminth infracommunities of bank voles (Myodes glareolus) in NE Poland [PDF]
, 2015 Parasites are considered to be an important selective force in host evolution but ecological studies of host-parasite systems are usually short-term providing only snap-shots of what may be dynamic systems.

Small mammals feeding on hypogeous fungi [PDF]
, 2014 The spores stay viable after passing through the animal gut, and in some cases their ability to germinate and form mycorrhiza is enhanced after leaving the intestine.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.Glucocorticoids regulate many physiological functions and play an important role in coping with challenging stimuli. The non‐invasive assessment of glucocorticoids is increasingly used as a tool to evaluate individual and population health status in wild animals.

Variations in Ixodes ricinus Density and Borrelia Infections Associated with Cattle Introduced into a Woodland in The Netherlands [PDF]
, 2008 The effect of introduced large herbivores on the abundance of Ixodes ricinus ticks and their Borrelia infections was studied in a natural woodland in The Netherlands. Oak and pine plots, either ungrazed or grazed by cattle, were selected.
