History and genetic diversity of African sheep: Contrasting phenotypic and genomic diversity. [PDF]

Anim Genet
Abstract Domesticated sheep have adapted to contrasting and extreme environments and continue to play important roles in local community‐based economies throughout Africa. Here we review the Neolithic migrations of thin‐tailed sheep and the later introductions of fat‐tailed sheep into eastern Africa.

Precise assessment of facial skin based on multimodal data fusion of the microbiome

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The skin microecology plays a vital role in maintaining cutaneous health and is intricately linked to host skin phenotypes. However, there remains a lack of precise and quantitative biomarkers for evaluating skin health conditions, making it challenging to identify individuals at potential risk of microecological imbalance.

Spatial and temporal patterns of bark beetle and defoliator outbreaks, and their interactions, in the Pacific Northwest

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract The dynamics of many forest insects are changing in response to climate warming; however, patterns are not always consistent among or within taxa. Changes in outbreak dynamics for individual species have received much recent attention, but the potential for interactions among species has received less.

Efficacy and Tolerability of a Triple Acid‐Containing Serum Combined With 0.1% Adapalene in Mild‐to‐Moderate Acne Vulgaris: A Randomized, Open‐Label Controlled Trial

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Although topical retinoids are first‐line therapy for mild‐to‐moderate acne, treatment‐related irritation often limits adherence to long‐term therapy. However, dermocosmetic adjuncts may improve treatment outcomes and tolerability.
