Telomere Length Is Determined by Intrinsic Factors and Is Shortened During Drought Years in Gallotia galloti

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Telomere dynamics in ectotherms remain poorly understood relative to endotherms, yet are increasingly relevant in the context of climate change. Here, we used model‐averaged GLMMs and hierarchical partitioning to disentangle intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of relative telomere length in the Western‐Canaries Lizard (Gallotia galloti) across a 10‐year ...

Corticosterone as a Physiological Biomarker: Decoding the Environment‐Cort‐Energy Paradigm

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Corticosterone (cort) is increasingly used as a biomarker in wildlife conservation, though debate remains over which measures best capture physiological and environmental relationships. Using structural equation modeling on a 14‐year dataset, we evaluated the total hormone, free hormone, and CBG profile hypotheses linking cort, energetic state, and ...

Salt in the Wound: Assessing Pathogen Susceptibility in Amphibian Populations Across a Gradient of Salt Pollution

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The survival function of nine larval wood frog populations and their viral loads when exposed to FV3. The populations were collected as eggs from a range of salt‐polluted ponds. Viral load data are means ±1 SE. The populations are ordered in terms of the saltiness of their natal ponds.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Neuroprotective Effects of Carnosine Against Corticosterone‐Induced Depression and Memory Impairment

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
This main findings of the study and illustrates the key workflow. ABSTRACT Corticosterone (Crt) is reported to induce oxidative stress in experimental animals. Carnosine (Crn), a well‐known dipeptide antioxidant synthesized endogenously from β‐alanine and L‐histidine, neutralizes oxidative stress. The current study examines the influences of Crn on Crt‐

Exploring Linalool‐Based Phytotherapy for Excitatory/Inhibitory Imbalance in Alzheimer's Disease: A Review of Lavender and Cannabis Therapeutic Effects on Sleep, Seizures, and Cognition

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 2604-2631, May 2026.
Schematic overview of the proposed neuromodulatory actions of linalool in Alzheimer's disease. Through multi‐target effects on oxidative stress, amyloid aggregation, GABAergic and glutamatergic signaling, linalool may restore excitatory/inhibitory balance.

Adrenocortical Adenocarcinoma in a Syrian Golden Hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) With Suspected Hyperadrenocorticism

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
A 2‐year‐old female golden hamster presented with non‐pruritic alopecia of the hindquarters. Diagnostic imaging and cytological evaluation revealed a unilateral adrenal mass consistent with an adrenocortical tumour, while biochemical analyses suggested corticosteroid secretion.

A multi‐trait evaluation of patterns and fitness consequences of breeding phenology plasticity with nocturnal warming and food restriction in a lizard

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1233-1250, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Faced with climate warming, ectothermic species shift their breeding phenology, which is in part attributed to an acceleration of gestation or incubation in warmer environments.

Environmentally induced stress affects fitness of bold and shy alike: A long‐term study of personality and feather corticosterone in Arctic‐breeding kittiwakes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 763-781, May 2026.
Quantifying how individuals differ as their environment changes around them is crucial to predict population responses to climate change. By incorporating personality, physiology and life‐history the authors show that while environmental change is likely to impact the whole population equally, when individuals are most impacted will vary across the ...
