A Food Web Model of the Serengeti: Stability, Dynamics and Indirect Effects

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective conservation management of a complex ecosystem like the Serengeti can benefit from a systems‐wide approach to interactions between functional groups. This study presents a food web model of the Serengeti based on generalised Lotka–Volterra equations parameterised using data from the literature. The internal equilibrium point is shown

The argali (Ovis ammon antiqua) from the Magliana area (Rome) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
During the Middle Pleistocene, the subspecies was widespread from Georgia to Portugal, though it is scantily recorded in local faunal assemblages of Southern Europe. Its occurrence in a few Late Pleistocene sites needs to be confirmed.

Foraging Behaviour and Host Responses of Oxpeckers (Buphagus spp.) Across Domestic and Wild Mammals

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the foraging behaviours, host species utilisation, and spatial attachment preferences of Red‐billed Oxpecker (Buphagus erythrorhynchus) and Yellow‐billed Oxpecker (Buphagus africanus) in Salambala Conservancy, northeastern Namibia, from May to September 2023.

Synovial fluid alpha‐2‐macroglobulin, gelsolin and lubricin distinguish between osteoarthritic and healthy equine joints

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 1, Page 49-59, January 2026.
Abstract Background Synovial fluid (SF) is an ideal sentinel fluid for osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis and prognostication due to its critical homeostatic role, proximity to articular tissues and immune cell composition. Untargeted proteomics enable identification of soluble markers for diagnostic and therapeutic applications while minimising bias ...

Native and Alien Ungulates in North America: Potential for Restoring Herbivore Diversity and Functions

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Large herbivores play key roles in ecosystems by promoting plant diversity, dispersing seeds, regulating nutrient cycling, and shaping vegetation structure. Since the Late Pleistocene, their declines have led to profound ecosystem changes. While often viewed as problematic, alien herbivores may partly compensate for these losses; yet their
