Antler cannibalism in reindeer
Scientific Reports, 2020 Prion diseases constitute a class of invariably fatal and degenerative encephalopathies. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a contagious prion disease among cervids, which is spreading and causing marked population declines in USA and Canada.

A Novel Non‐Torque Dynamic Load Decoupling Method for Large Wind Turbine Nacelle Test Bench
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Accurate reproduction of non‐torque dynamic loads is a key challenge for full‐scale wind turbine nacelle test benches, where the nacelle‐level drivetrain is validated under controlled multi‐degree‐of‐freedom mechanical loading. This study focuses on the shaft‐conjugate load application unit (LAU) adopted in the 25‐MW‐class full‐scale wind ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1229-1241, October 2026.Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

PLoS ONE, 2023 The first case of CWD in Europe was detected in a Norwegian reindeer in 2016, followed later by two CWD cases in Norwegian moose. To prevent the potential spread of CWD to the EU, the European Commission (Regulation EU 2017_1972) implemented a CWD ...

Impact of low testing numbers on chronic wasting disease apparent prevalence
PrionChronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal, neurodegenerative disease of cervids, and its management heavily relies on diagnostic testing. Test results are commonly used to calculate ‘apparent prevalence’ (AP) – the percent of animals tested for CWD (CWD ...

Predicting chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer at the county scale using machine learning
Scientific ReportsContinued spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) through wild cervid herds negatively impacts populations, erodes wildlife conservation, drains resource dollars, and challenges wildlife management agencies. Risk factors for CWD have been investigated at
