Supporting cavity‐nesting birds in organic orchards and vineyards: Evaluating the use of artificial nest boxes

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Artificial nest boxes increased nesting opportunities for birds when tailored to their ecological needs. More complex and heterogeneous landscapes with greater forest and shrub cover increased nest box use. Nest box placement height and management‐related factors also influenced their occupation.

Comparative virology and pathology of Monkeypox virus in Syrian hamsters, C57BL/6, and BALB/c mice: A framework for preclinical model selection

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 829-837, April 2026.
This study compared monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection in three small animal models: Syrian hamsters, C57BL/6 mice, and BALB/c mice. Following intraperitoneal inoculation, Syrian hamsters exhibited the highest susceptibility, with rapid systemic viral dissemination, elevated splenic and renal viral burdens, and severe histopathological damage, followed ...

Bartonella spp. Infection in Edible Dormice and Their Fleas [PDF]

, 2022
Bartonellosis is a group of emerging infectious diseases caused by facultatively intraerythrocytic bacteria transmitted between vertebrate hosts by arthropod vectors. Although only some Bartonella spp. are traditionally associated with human diseases, it

Dietary Lipids Affect the Onset of Hibernation in the Garden Dormouse (Eliomys quercinus): Implications for Cardiac Function

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Dietary lipids strongly influence patterns of hibernation in heterotherms. Increased dietary uptake of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly of linoleic acid (LA, C18:2 n-6), enables animals to reach lower body temperatures (Tb ...

Mpox in South Asia: A Narrative Review on Epidemiology, Preparedness, and Preventive Strategies

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Monkeypox (Mpox), due to its growing global concern, was declared a public health emergency of worldwide concern by the World Health Organization in August 2024. The monkeypox virus (MPXV), once limited to African regions, has now spread to South Asia, including Pakistan, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, and there have been ...

The Preservation of Muscle Mitochondrial Machinery During Hypometabolic Hibernation in Scandinavian Brown Bears (Ursus arctos)

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Unlike humans, brown bears (Ursus arctos) uniquely preserve skeletal muscle mass and function during months of hibernation despite prolonged fasting and inactivity. We investigated how mitochondrial energetics respond in skeletal muscle to support this remarkable resilience.

Fine distribution of CLOCK protein in hepatocytes of hibernating dormice

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
CLOCK protein is a member of the bHLH-PAS family of transcription factors, it is expressed in several tissues including the liver and is essential for normal circadian rhythms. In this study we investigate the distribution of CLOCK protein in hepatocytes of euthermic and hibernating edible dormice Glis glis as well as in hepatocytes taken from the ...

Beavers on Ice: Factors Influencing Emergence Phenology in Boreal Canada

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
Climate‐driven changes in ice phenology influence the timing of spring emergence of a non‐hibernating ice‐bound mammal, the North American beaver. ABSTRACT The influence of climate change on emergence phenology of hibernating mammals in northern latitudes is receiving increased attention, yet for freshwater semi‐aquatic mammals such as beavers, which ...

Wide recreational trails are semi‐barriers to deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) in small forest preserves

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract While roads have well‐documented effects on wildlife movement, the impact of smaller non‐vehicle recreational trails typical of urban preserves is less thoroughly understood, particularly for small mammals. We used mark–recapture to identify movement of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) across three broad (>2.5 m) recreational trails in small
