From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2199-2220, August 2026.
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 2, June 2026.
We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April

High Spatial Resolution Ensemble Species Distribution Modeling of Rhodnius prolixus, Vector of Chagas Disease, in Western Venezuela

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rhodnius prolixus is the most common and abundant kissing bug found in Royal and other native palms from western Venezuela. R. prolixus is a dominant vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite causing Chagas disease. Here we use species distribution models (SDMs) to estimate habitat suitability for R. prolixus.

Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...
