High and dry: Environmental conditions drive opportunities for disease transmission in desert bighorn sheep

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
By using probabilistic models to predict contacts as a function of spatially and temporally varying environmental conditions, we show that population‐level conditions at the time of disease introduction can structure opportunities for transmission within each population.

Long‐term jaguar demography underscores the ecological value of Amazonian floodplains

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our results provide the first estimates of recruitment and apparent survival for Amazonian jaguars, key parameters for guiding conservation. We show that seasonal wetlands—the Amazonian floodplain forest and reported estimates from Pantanal and the Llanos—harbour the highest jaguar densities across the species' range.

Toward more inclusive governance and conservation in the urbanizing Amazon

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
We propose two paths toward a more inclusive approach to governance and conservation in the urbanizing Amazon: (1) grounding natural resource management programs in local‐level realities and (2) accounting for flows and transformations of place‐based relationships across the rural–urban interface.

Regulatory Responses of Ectothermic Embryos to Predicted Heat Stresses Under Near‐Future Climate Change

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Heat stress can disrupt coordinated regulatory processes underpinning normal development, resulting in embryonic malformation and inviability. Embryonic buffering against thermal challenge may therefore play a crucial role in individual survival and population resilience under heat stress.

Reproductive Impairment in the Florida Panther: Nature or Nurture?

open access: yesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 1995
Many of the remaining members of the endangered Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) population suffer from one or more of a variety of physiological, reproductive, endocrine, and immune system defects including congenital heart defects, abnormal sperm, low sperm density, cryptorchidism, thyroid dysfunction, and possible immunosuppression.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 1556-1590, June 2026.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Commonly collected thermal performance data can inform species distributions in a data-limited invader

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Predicting potential distributions of species in new areas is challenging. Physiological data can improve interpretation of predicted distributions and can be used in directed distribution models. Nonnative species provide useful case studies.

Camera Trap Design Determines Taxa Detected at Carrion Sites

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In this study, we demonstrated that camera trap orientation (i.e., horizontal and vertical) at carrion sites differed in their animal community composition and taxa associations. The vertical camera trap orientation was more likely to detect necrophagous invertebrates, while the horizontal orientation was more likely to detect white‐tailed deer.

Too Few, Too Many, or Just Right? Optimizing Sample Sizes for Population‐Level Inferences in Animal Tracking Projects

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We present a flexible workflow to determine optimal sample sizes in animal tracking studies, balancing sampling duration, interval, and number of tagged individuals. Integrated into an R package and Shiny application, it supports rigorous and cost‐effective study design to improve inferences and inform conservation, while considering logistical and ...

Age‐Dependent Remodeling of the Sciatic Nerve Proteome in 5xFAD Mice Can Be Attenuated by Exercise or Donepezil Treatment to Maintain Neuromuscular Function

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
Sciatic nerve proteome remodeling, particularly of mitochondrial‐centric pathways, occurs at 4 months of age in 5xFAD mice, coinciding with onset of neuromuscular dysfunction. Exercise or the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil, begun prior to onset, delays these phenotypes, suggesting early peripheral phenotypes of Alzheimer's Disease may have ...
