Unpacking the drivers of gut‐passage times of seeds dispersed by frugivorous lemurs

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The impacts of endozoochory on plant populations are primarily determined by how seeds are processed in animal guts. Therefore, understanding the factors that determine how long seeds remain in the gut is crucial for predicting the outcomes of animal‐mediated seed dispersal.

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3298-3310, October 2026.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3430-3445, October 2026.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Conformation of Circular DNA in Two Dimensions [PDF]

The conformation of circular DNA molecules of various lengths adsorbed in a 2D conformation on a mica surface is studied. The results confirm the conjecture that the critical exponent ν is topologically invariant and equal to the self-avoiding walk value

Exploring consumer preferences for wild meat and other animal proteins in Gamba, Gabon: Implications for conservation and management of natural resources alongside extractive industry

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3345-3357, October 2026.
Abstract The town of Gamba in southwest Gabon represents an exceptional example of how the development of an extractive industry (in this case oil production) may impact wild meat consumption in an area of global importance for biodiversity. Studies in the 1990s identified an active wild meat trade; however, no studies have been undertaken since, and ...

A Comparative Survey of Historical DNA Degradation From Vertebrate Museum Specimens: Unexpected Utility of Fluid‐Preserved Specimens

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Advances in museomics have expanded from dry and skeletal specimens to now include fluid‐preserved material as a source of DNA. However, our understanding of patterns of DNA degradation across specimens and tissue types remains limited, hindering justification for targeting optimal DNA sources from museum voucher specimens.

Etica e allevamento animale

, 2016
In questo libro si è cercato di meglio definire i criteri etici che debbono guidare gli allevatori, i professionisti (veterinari, agronomi) e chi se ne avvale: consumatori, ricercatori, medici, cacciatori, appassionati di animali ecc.

A method to estimate actual infrastructure‐induced mortality by integrating hierarchical sources of imperfect detection

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 2943-2960, October 2026.
Abstract Human infrastructures are among the most impactful wildlife threats. Although estimates of animal mortality by these structures exist over a given period, they typically do not account for several levels of imperfect detection (i.e. difference between recorded and true mortality).

Individual bird identification by modelling temporal structure in bioacoustic embeddings

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 2909-2927, October 2026.
Abstract Identifying individual animals from vocalizations is an emerging research area in computational bioacoustics. This non‐invasive approach reduces reliance on physical capture and tagging for wildlife monitoring. Recent advances in this area leverage deep learning and bioacoustic foundation models adapted from species‐level classifiers. However,

Importance of the information system in the context of the international animal health

, 2010
Questo lavoro riconosce la necessità di disporre di informazioni puntuali e tempestive sulle malattie animali (comprese le zoonosi). Viene affrontato il ruolo dell’Organizzazione Mondiale per la Sanità Animale (OIE) come punto di riferimento a livello ...
