Limited inbreeding avoidance at the gamete level despite inbreeding depression in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). [PDF]
J Anim EcolOur study investigates inbreeding avoidance mechanisms at the gamete level in domesticated Atlantic salmon using sperm motility traits assessments, fertilisation trials, and paternity analysis under competitive conditions. We demonstrate that ovarian fluid from sibling females reduces sperm motility traits and fertilisation rates but found no ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...

Biochar Mitigates Arsenic Phytotoxicity and Improves Crop Performance in Iron‐Rich Tropical Soils
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The contamination of tropical soils by the highly toxic metalloid, arsenic (As), is a pervasive issue, resulting in declining crop performance due to phytotoxicity. Biochars are gaining popularity as sorbents for contaminants, yet their capacity to ameliorate As phytotoxicity in diverse tropical soil types remains underexplored.

Clinical Obesity, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Experimental evidence indicates that exposure to weight stigma can lead to sustained elevations in cortisol and ambulatory blood pressure. However, little is known about its acute effects on other physiological markers. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of measuring the physiological response of weight stigma, a novel weight ...
