Vegetation Shifts in Boreal Ombrotrophic Peatlands Following Road Construction

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
Permanent roads crossing boreal ombrotrophic peatlands drive a shift in plant community composition within 25–75 m of the infrastructure, with losses of Sphagnum mosses, lichens, and the expansion of shrubs. Mineral enrichment from road dust, deicing salts, and construction materials may be the main driver of these changes, potentially threatening the ...

Walsh & Hoyt: Free-living Amoebae

, 2005
Infection of humans by these organisms is rare. Because they are distinct from other pathogenic protozoa by nature of their free-living existence, there are no known insect vectors, no human carrier states of epidemiologic importance, and little ...

A Review of Nonsteroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs for Food‐Producing Animals With a Focus on Potential Applications for Farmed Finfish

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In finfish aquaculture, there are several inflammatory diseases impacting productivity and animal welfare, however there are limited options available to veterinarians to treat inflammation and pain in fish. Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in terrestrial animals raised for human consumption to treat a range of ...
