The highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are home to critically endangered eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei). Climate change could increase the abundance and distribution of Culicoides‐borne diseases. We utilized morphological and molecular techniques to identify Culicoides spp.

Concurrent Acquisition of a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in Diverse Influenza H5N1 Clade 2.2 Sub-clades [PDF]
Highly pathogenic Influenza A H5N1 was first identified in Guangdong Province in 1996, followed by human cases in Hong Kong in 1997 1,2. The number of confirmed human cases now exceeds 300, and the associated Case Fatality Rate exceeds 60% 3. The genetic

Phylogenetic history shapes the composition of floral scents in a specialized pollination mutualism
Summary Most studies of the chemical ecology of plant–pollinator interactions emphasize the role of pollinator‐mediated selection in shaping floral scent composition. Nevertheless, phylogeny may constrain the metabolic pathways underlying these profiles, thereby influencing the evolutionary trajectory of the emitted signals.

Our dated phylogeny and biogeographic analysis of Mantophryne, a microhylid frog genus endemic to New Guinea, revealed origins in the East Papuan Composite Terrane (EPCT) in the late Pliocene. Dispersal and diversification out from the EPCT was driven by tectonic activity and climate reorganisation, creating habitat corridors and isolations in the Late

Abstract Understanding how local communities perceive and prioritise ecosystem services (ES) across diverse ecological contexts is essential for improving protected area (PA) management. However, most studies focus on single ecosystems and lack cross‐ecological comparisons. This study aimed to explore how communities living in and around PAs in Ghana's

How Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1) Has Affected World Poultry-Meat Trade [PDF]
In 2003, outbreaks of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus had a major negative impact on the global poultry industry. Initially, import demand for both uncooked and cooked poultry declined substantially, due to consumers’ fear of ...
