Nutrient variation induced by rodent disturbance in Haloxylon ammodendron as a target transfer strategy

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Nutrients form a link between herbivores and plant. This study explored the physiological and ecological response mechanism of Haloxylon ammodendron population to rodent disturbance in Gurbantunggut Desert from the perspective of nutrient cycle.

Dietary Response of Black-Backed Jackals (<i>Lupulella mesomelas</i>) to Contrasted Land Use. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examines dietary shifts in black‐backed jackals across different land‐use types using DNA metabarcoding. Results reveal that jackal diets vary significantly by landscape and season, with a strong reliance on sheep in livestock areas, selective feeding on greater kudu on game farms, and a broader, more even prey profile in nature reserves ...

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.

Adaptation to harshness is fundamentally different from the adaptive stress response: Results from a 20‐year‐long case study in African striped mice

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Animals in harsh environments rely on specialised adaptations. Two decades of field research on African striped mice (Rhabdomys pumilio) in the Succulent Karoo semi‐desert reveal a distinct ‘harshness response’—marked by reduced metabolism and glucocorticoid levels—that differs fundamentally from the classic stress response.

Epizootiologic Parameters for Plague in Kazakhstan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Reliable estimates are lacking of key epizootiologic parameters for plague caused by Yersinia pestis infection in its natural reservoirs. We report results of a 3-year longitudinal study of plague dynamics in populations of a maintenance host, the great ...

Interactions of Interaural Time and Level Differences in Spatial Hearing with Cochlear Implants

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, 30 January 2026.
Differences in timing (ΔT) are weighted heavily compared to differences in loudness (ΔL) in binaural hearing with cochlear implants. Abstract Normally hearing humans can localize sound sources quite accurately, with minimum audible angles as small as 1°. To achieve this, these auditory pathways combine information from multiple acoustic cues, including
