Detection and Genetic Diversity of Heritable Bacterial Symbionts in Human Lice Based on 16S‐rRNA Gene

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Candidatus Riesia pediculicola and Wolbachia were found in 79.6% and 95.2% of head lice, and 81.8% and 100% of body lice. Candidatus Riesia pthiripubis and Wolbachia appeared in 41.7% and 75% of pubic lice. Maximum‐likelihood 16S‐rRNA phylogeny revealed substantial heterogeneity within symbiont populations. ABSTRACT Human lice are obligate bloodsucking

Re-evaluating climate as the best predictor of pika (Ochotona princeps) surface activity [PDF]

, 2016
Alpine and subalpine ecosystems are expected to experience a disproportionate amount of warming in the coming decades. Rising temperatures in these ecosystems threatens biodiversity and water resources globally. The American pika (Ochotona princeps) is a

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Effects of temperature and humidity on the presence and prevalence of a common fungal parasite on an invasive ladybird

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 86-97, February 2026.
We investigated how temperature and relative humidity influence the parasitic fungus Hesperomyces harmoniae on the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis under controlled laboratory conditions. Abiotic factors significantly affect parasitism: High relative humidity increased parasite prevalence, development rate, and load, while both low and high ...

Incidence Rate of Otitis Externa Episodes in Atopic Dogs Is Reduced by a Therapeutic Diet in a 6‐Month Randomised, Blinded, Controlled, Clinical Trial

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 89-102, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Recurrent otitis externa (OE) episodes commonly affect dogs with canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) despite ongoing cAD treatment. Objective To determine if a therapeutic diet with active ingredients targeting the skin barrier and allergy pathways reduces the incidence rate of OE.
