Chordoma in the tail of a sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Chordomas are common in ferrets, but rare in other species. Only a handful of reports have been published about this neoplasm in the veterinary literature. During a routine physical examination on a breeder female sugar glider, a firm mass was palpated on the tail.

Optimal Laser Strike Intensity to Realize “Nonlethal Pain Stimulation Deterrence” in Human‐Wildlife Conflict Management: Wild Boar as a Case Study 人兽冲突管理中 “非致命性痛觉刺激驱离技术” 的最优激光打击强度 —— 以野猪为案例

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
This study establishes the optimal nonlethal laser deterrence range (210–260 W, 1s) for wild boars, preventing agricultural damage while ensuring animal safety. Results demonstrate that efficacy requires seasonal power adjustments (≤ 285 W in winter) and precise targeting control—enabling effective, injury‐free wildlife conflict mitigation.

A call to integrate non‐visual functions of pigments and their interactions with visual functions to understand global change impacts on visual systems

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animal coloration serves a variety of visually related functions in nature (e.g. mate choice, aposematism and camouflage) but the pigments in integumentary tissues such as skin, scales and feathers may also serve functions unrelated to the visual environment (e.g ...

Stomatal clustering in Begonia associates with the kinetics of leaf gaseous exchange and influences water use efficiency [PDF]

, 2017
Stomata are microscopic pores formed by specialized cells in the leaf epidermis and permit gaseous exchange between the interior of the leaf and the atmosphere.

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

A conserved morphogenetic mechanism for epidermal ensheathment of nociceptive sensory neurites. [PDF]

, 2019
Interactions between epithelial cells and neurons influence a range of sensory modalities including taste, touch, and smell. Vertebrate and invertebrate epidermal cells ensheath peripheral arbors of somatosensory neurons, including nociceptors, yet the ...

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Climate and Socio‐Sexual Environment Predict Interpopulation Variation in Chemical Signaling Glands in a Widespread Lizard

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.
