Parallel‐laser photogrammetry to estimate body size in free‐ranging mammals
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 It is not always practical to hand‐measure body size of free‐ranging animals. In recent years, parallel‐laser photogrammetry has become increasingly common for obtaining remote estimates of body size.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.In this study, we analysed data collected at 40 sites in the Northwest of Scotland (from 2018 to 2020) to quantify the relative contributions of hypothesised pathogen transmission hosts (deer and sheep) and non‐transmission hosts (birds and rodents) on the environmental abundance of ecotypes I and II of Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Our results add to our

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1877-1903, August 2026.ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Nonprimate Hepaciviruses in Domestic Horses, United Kingdom
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Although the origin of hepatitis C virus infections in humans remains undetermined, a close homolog of this virus, termed canine hepacivirus (CHV) and found in respiratory secretions of dogs, provides evidence for a wider distribution of hepaciviruses in

Evaluating novel attachment methods for tracking devices on terrestrial mammals
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.We deployed GNSS tracking devices on 2 endangered large terrestrial mammals, scimitar‐horned oryx and Przewalski's horses, using novel attachment methods. Tags achieved fix success rates and spatial accuracy that compare well with standard collars used on large mammals.
