Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Den Use Patterns of Endangered San Joaquin Kit Foxes in Urban Environments May Facilitate Disease Transmission

Animals
A robust population of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica; SJKFs) occurs in the city of Bakersfield, CA. In 2013, sarcoptic mange was detected and significantly reduced SJKF abundance.

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

The complete chloroplast genome of the moss, Myurella julacea (Schwägr.) Schimp. (Bryidae, Pterigynandraceae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of the moss Myurella julacea (Schwägr.) Schimp. We found that the total length of the M. julacea complete cp genome was 124,457 base pairs (bp) long, comprising 82 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes ...

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.
