Publicly Available Data Reveal Information Gaps in Freshwater Mussel–Fish Interactions and Co‐Occurrence Critical to Biodiversity Conservation

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater systems only cover a small fraction of the Earth's surface; however, they support a remarkable diversity of species, with over one‐third currently imperilled. Freshwater mussels, with more than 65% of species threatened or endangered, rank among the most imperilled animal groups globally.

Bath Treatments With Emamectin Benzoate Control Dactylogyrideans Infecting Colossoma macropomum Gills Without Altering Physiology of This Host Fish

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intensification of fish aquaculture worldwide has led to severe problems of diseases caused by parasitic dactylogyrideans. In this study, the anti‐dactylogyridean efficacy of treating Colossoma macropomum with baths of emamectin benzoate (EMB) was investigated for the first time, along with the effects of this treatment on the haematology and ...

Body Size Trade‐Offs Underpin Reproductive Success and Thermal Stress Tolerance in an Invasive Pest, the Small Hive Beetle

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Body size differences have widely been observed in adult small hive beetles (Aethina tumida Murray, SHBs), an invasive pest of honey bee colonies. We hypothesized that parental body size influences reproductive performance, progeny fitness, and stress tolerance in SHBs.

Host Abundance Predicts Interactive Roles in Neotropical Bat–Bat Fly Interactions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We analyzed the influence of bat functional traits on their importance as hosts in bat–bat fly networks. Our results indicate that bat abundance is the main driver for host importance in Neotropical bat–bat fly interactions. ABSTRACT Host functional traits are known to shape host‐parasite interactions across multiple taxa.

Ectoparasitic infestations of the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) in Urmia city, Iran: First report [PDF]

Veterinary Research Forum, 2013
Hedgehogs are small, nocturnal mammals that become popular in the world and have significant role in transmission of zoonotic agents. Some of the agents are transmitted by ticks and fleas such as rickettsial agents.

Alternative Approaches and Plant‐Based Remedies for Livestock Health Management Among the Batswana of Southern Africa: A Review

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to limited access to, and the high cost of conventional veterinary services, Batswana communities often rely on ethnoveterinary practices for livestock health management. This review provides an in‐depth analysis on the ethnoveterinary uses, biological properties and safety assessment of plants utilised in livestock husbandry. A systematic

Addressing a Flat‐Out Problem: Environmental DNA (eDNA) Exposes Silent Infestations of Acropora‐Eating Flatworms (Prosthiostomum acroporae) in Coral Aquaculture

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Captive coral aquaculture is increasingly important for both the aquarium trade and reef restoration, but production can be undermined by hard‐to‐detect pests such as the Acropora‐eating flatworm Prosthiostomum acroporae. We developed and validated a highly sensitive ddPCR assay capable of detecting P.
