The consequences of host heterogeneity for parasite transmission depend on how host infectiousness is determined

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study proposes two contrasting scenarios for how host infectiousness is determined: recipient dependence and donor dependence. These scenarios fundamentally alter how host heterogeneity shapes parasite transmission, demonstrating that the process by which infectiousness is determined is crucial for understanding the consequences of host ...

Human Clade 2.3.4.4 A/H5N6 Influenza Virus Lacks Mammalian Adaptation Markers and Does Not Transmit via the Airborne Route between Ferrets

mSphere, 2018
Since their emergence in 1997, A/H5N1 influenza viruses of the A/goose/Guangdong/1/96 lineage have diversified in multiple genetic and antigenic clades upon continued circulation in poultry in several countries in Eurasia and Africa.

Myofasciitis in the Domestic Ferret

Veterinary Pathology, 2007
Since late 2003, an inflammatory disease of muscle and fascia has been diagnosed in several ferrets at Northwest ZooPath, and this report describes the condition in 17 ferrets. It is a disease of young ferrets, characterized by rapid onset of clinical signs, high fever, neutrophilic leukocytosis, treatment failure, and death (or euthanasia).

Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.

Management coverage and spatial gaps for carnivore habitat across Mexico

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We evaluated the spatial overlap between four land management types and the habitat of 28 terrestrial carnivores in Mexico. Our findings reveal that non‐designated land management types like Indigenous Territories may provide significant habitat coverage, and that significant coverage gaps for carnivores remain.

Temporal Dynamics of Retinal Inflammation Following Blast Exposure in a Ferret Model

Neurotrauma Reports
Blast-induced traumatic ocular injury (bTOI) is a major cause of vision loss in military personnel involved in recent combat operations. However, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, hindering the development of effective treatments.

Children's negative emotions and parent emotion socialization during parent–child and sibling interactions in naturalistic settings

Family Relations, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study examined whether children's distress during interactions with siblings and parents differed from distress during noninteractional situations in naturalistic home settings. Background Distress frequently occurs within sibling and parent–child exchanges, yet these contexts remain underexamined in naturalistic settings ...

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Transcriptomic profiling of subpopulations of mouse embryonic subplate neurons

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
To study gene expression in subpopulations of cortical subplate neurons (Lpar1‐EGFP‐positive and D1B‐positive SpN clusters), we applied gene expression profiling, including bulk microarray analysis, single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq), and Visium spatial transcriptomics, and identified both overlapping and unique gene expression signatures ...
