Antbears and underground melons: A highly specialized seed dispersal mutualism mediated by scent
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Seed dispersal is critical for the establishment and persistence of populations of most plant species. We investigated the seed dispersal biology of an African melon, Cucumis humifructus, which is closely related to cultivated cucumbers and watermelons but differs in that it buries its fruits deep underground.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.India has a long history of planting trees to restore ecosystem services providing an opportunity to evaluate long‐term ecosystem restoration processes. We show that these programs have shifted over time in response to public demands as well as through changes in the government's vision for forests.

Farmer selection of drought‐tolerant enset landraces reduces trait diversity in drier environments
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Drought stress poses a growing threat to food security worldwide. In this study, we investigated the putative drought tolerance traits of enset, a multipurpose staple crop endemic to Ethiopia that sustains over 20 million people. Our findings reveal that enset's domestication has reduced landrace diversity and trait variability, particularly in drier ...

Cross-transmission of resistant gastrointestinal nematodes between wildlife and transhumant sheep
Peer Community JournalWild and domestic ungulates can be infected with the same species of gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes. These parasites have free-living stages in the environment that contribute to the ease of transmission among different host species.

Associated bone groups; beyond the Iron Age [PDF]
, 2010 As zooarchaeologists move away from the purely economic towards ‘social zooarchaeological’ interpretations, the consideration of articulated/associated faunal remains has become more common-place. This paper presents results from a research project which

Review of published research on primary dysautonomia of domestic animals
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract An article published in 1992 by Marion M. Pollin and I.R. Griffiths reviewed the topic of primary dysautonomias of the autonomic nervous system of unidentified origin in multiple domestic species, specifically cats, dogs and horses. Thirty‐one years later, we appear no closer to identifying the causal agents of these strikingly similar ...

“Ménage à Trois”: The Evolutionary Interplay between JSRV, enJSRVs and Domestic Sheep
Viruses, 2014 Sheep betaretroviruses represent a fascinating model to study the complex evolutionary interplay between host and pathogen in natural settings. In infected sheep, the exogenous and pathogenic Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV) coexists with a variety of ...

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Two cases of sporadic multicentric lymphomas with mediastinal masses in goats are documented. The first case involved a 3.5‐year‐old male goat. Ultrasound imaging revealed an enlarged right perirenal lymph node, which was confirmed as lymphoma through incisional biopsy and cytopathological analysis. Despite treatment, the goat succumbed to the
