Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

SwarmGenomics: A Unified Pipeline for Individual‐Based Whole‐Genome Analyses

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Advances in sequencing technologies have made whole‐genome data widely accessible, enabling research in population genetics, evolutionary biology, and conservation. However, analysing whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data remains challenging, often requiring multiple specialised tools and substantial bioinformatics expertise.

First report in Cuba of the presence of the louse Goniodes colchici (Denny, 1842) (Phthiraptera: Goniodidae) on Gallus gallus domesticus (Galliforme, Phasianidae).

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Animal Sciences
Laying hens are affected by numerous species of lice. High infestations cause intense itching, irritation and destruction of feathers. In addition to interfering with the nutrition and rest of the birds, with the consequent impact on meat and egg ...

Rainfall shapes the physiological condition, but not the body size, of an introduced dung beetle in Brazilian pastures

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 346-355, April 2026.
Understanding rainfall‐driven physiological shifts in dung beetles is crucial to predict how climate change may affect the fitness and persistence of key insect species in tropical pastures. We compared body size, dry, lipid and muscle masses of Digitonthophagus gazella collected during dry and rainy seasons in Brazilian pastures to assess the effects ...
