Avian influenza overview September–November 2025

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Between 6 September and 28 November 2025, 2896 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (442) and wild (2454) birds in 29 countries in Europe. The magnitude and geographical extent of these detections were unprecedented for this time of the year, particularly in wild birds.

Patterns of bioluminescence in a collection of Paraguayan Didelphidae

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Mammalogy
Many species of opossum (Didelphimorphia) are known to fluoresce, but the significance of this characteristic is unclear. In the interests of contributing to the faunal inventory of fluorescence in Didelphids, we examined 62 specimens of 10 species of Paraguayan opossums under a UV light and describe the patterns observed.

When Raptors Are Away, Opossums Will Play: Woolly Opossums as Carrion Feeders in Harpy Eagle Nests

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
Scavenging by New World marsupials is rarely documented. We recorded woolly opossums (Caluromys lanatus) scavenging prey remains from a Harpy eagle’s nest in central Brazil. The low overlap in activity periods between the two species may facilitate the behavior observed here.

EVOLUTION OF SCAPULA SIZE AND SHAPE IN DIDELPHID MARSUPIALS (DIDELPHIMORPHIA: DIDELPHIDAE) [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 2009
The New World family Didelphidae, the basal lineage within marsupials, is commonly viewed as morphologically conservative, yet includes aquatic, terrestrial, scansorial, and arboreal species. Here, I quantitatively estimated the existing variability in size and shape of the Didelphidae scapula (1076 specimens from 56 species) using geometric ...
