Mono(2‐Ethylhexyl) Phthalate Induces Inflammatory and Angiogenic Alterations Mediated by the PI3K/AKT Pathway in HTR‐8/SVneo Trophoblastic Cells

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exposure to mono(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) during pregnancy has been associated with adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes characterized by extravillous trophoblast (EVT) abnormal function.

Hunting, but not outdoor recreation, modulates behavioural tolerance to human disturbance in Alpine marmots Marmota marmota

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Humans are often perceived as predators by free‐living animals, and thus, even non‐consumptive human activities such as outdoor recreation may trigger behavioural and physiological responses, often with negative consequences on individual fitness and population persistence.
