Chronic Sublethal Injury in a Critically Endangered Flapper Skate (Dipturus intermedius): In Situ Observations Compatible With Trawl Capture

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Sublethal effects of bycatch in elasmobranchs are typically assessed using short‐term survival metrics, yet post‐release pathology remains poorly documented. We report in situ observations of a flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) in the northeast Atlantic exhibiting skeletal and soft‐tissue abnormalities—vertebral deformation, truncation of ...

A First Report of Infestation by Pseudolynchia canariensis in a Herd of Pigeons in Shahrekord (Southwest of Iran)

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2016
Background: Pigeons (Columba livia) have been kept as pet and reared for food in several countries including Iran. Ectoparasites are regarded as the basic causes of retardation in growth, lowered vitality and poor conditions of the birds.

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

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 ...
