Golden Eagle Selection of Green Nest Material for Ectoparasite Control

, 2016
Ectoparasite infestation of nests and nestlings can induce physiological stress, anemia, higher risk of infection, and, in extreme cases, premature fledging and mortality for many avian species. Utilizing green nesting material (GNM) containing volatile,

Moult Timing as a Measure of Condition in a Northern Hemisphere Ungulate

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
It can be hard to directly monitor the health and wellbeing (or condition) of individuals in wild systems, though the information is of high value in population management, conservation and ecological research. We find that the timing of moult in red deer is predicted by energetically costly events and predicts future reproduction and survival.

Lights Out in the Canopy: Arboreal Camera Traps Offer New Insights Into Sleeping‐Site Partitioning and Sleep Ecology in Primate Communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Using arboreal camera traps, we show that sleeping sites represent a shared but contested resource in a Brazilian Atlantic Forest primate community, and that spatiotemporal resource partitioning is driven by resource holding potential (RHP). Although syntopic primates relied on the same Copaifera trapezifolia trees as key sleeping sites, access ...

Copy Number Variation‐Based Molecular Sexing of Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus Immature Stages Using qPCR and ddPCR Approaches

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We developed and validated a copy number variation (CNV)‐based molecular method to accurately determine the sex of immature ticks, Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus, which lack morphological sexual dimorphism. Using qPCR and ddPCR assays targeting female‐enriched genes, sex was reliably identified from DNA extracted non‐destructively from a

Decoding diversity: Are there patterns in the organization of grooming movements in domestic cats?

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Volume 126, Issue 3, November 2026.
Abstract Grooming is crucial for mammalian health and hygiene, serving diverse functions such as parasite defense, removing dirt, and thermoregulation. Grooming is not purely reactive but integrated into daily routines and regulated endogenously. In rodents, it has been shown to follow a sequential structure with predictable patterns, often interpreted

Ectoparasite diversity and abundance in different lemur species

UndergraduateOne factor influencing lemur health is ectoparasites, which can cause negative impacts on their host. The ectoparasite load on a given lemur varies as a result of multiple factors like age, sex, hormones, and behavior.

Pharmacological and Therapeutic Potential of Garlic (Allium sativum): Integrating Phytochemistry, Molecular Mechanisms, and Clinical and Preclinical Evidence

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2026.
Garlic bioactive compounds, including organosulfur compounds (allicin, DADS, DATS, and SAC), phenolic compounds, and quercetin, regulate the Nrf2/HO‐1, NF‐κB, PI3K/Akt, and AMPK/eNOS signaling pathways. These actions enhance antioxidant defenses, suppress inflammation, improve metabolic and cardiovascular function, and contribute to reduced blood ...

Differential Effect of Ivermectin on Intestinal Helminths in Multimmate Mouse (Mastomys natalensis)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Mastomys natalensis harbours gastrointestinal helminths of public health and food‐safety importance. This study identified five helminth taxa and assessed faecal egg counts after a single ivermectin dose. Egg counts declined substantially in treated rodents but changed little in controls over eight weeks.
