Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East
Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

We investigate the effect of previous mating opportunities with con‐ and heterospecifics on the subsequent mating decisions of male Lygaeus simulans seed bugs. We found that males were less likely to copulate with both con‐ and heterospecific females if they had previously encountered a heterospecific female, and more likely to copulate with ...

Thirty Years of the Biology of Spermatozoa: The Rise and Future of an Evolutionary Paradigm
A sperm bundle taken from the seminal vescicles of the dung beetle, Onthophagus taurus. Image credit: Leigh W. Simmons. ABSTRACT In the early 1970s, Geoff Parker recognised that because females frequently mate with multiple males, competition for fertilizations will impose significant sexual selection on males and their ejaculates.

Mapping the local dielectric constant of a biological nanostructured system
The aim of this work is to determine the varying dielectric constant of a biological nanostructured system via electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) and to show how this method is useful to study natural photonic crystals.
