Integrating the Microbiome Into Infection Ecology and Evolution in Wild Animals

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasites are a ubiquitous force in nature threatening wildlife populations and ecosystems. Interactions between hosts and their parasites are impacted by host‐associated microbiomes, which are essential for host development, physiology and immunity.

Hitchhiking Parasites: Unstructured Populations of Bat Ectoparasites Reveal Host‐Driven Dispersal

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding factors influencing the dynamics and distribution of parasites is essential to decipher the mechanism behind their spread and the identification of populations with elevated risks of infection. Bats—together with the diverse parasites they host and the influence of their social behaviour on parasitism—offer a suitable system.

Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal) in the Czech Republic: Flight dynamics and adult population structure

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 136-146, March 2026.
Ips acuminatus exhibits a univoltine life cycle in Central Europe and no full second generation in midsummer. The sex ratio shifts from male‐biased in spring to slightly female‐biased with the season, with over 90% of females mated. Among the pheromone lures tested, the ACP was most attractive, and combining ACP and PH lures could be used for effective

Modelling the effect of varying metabolic rate and cardiac output on estimated tissue and blood O2 and CO2 levels in an extreme deep‐diver, the goose‐beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris)

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 765-785, 1 March 2026.
Abstract High‐resolution movement data from Cuvier's beaked, or goose‐beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris, hereafter Ziphius, n = 8) tag deployments (4.1–19.2 days) were used to estimate blood and tissue O2 and CO2 levels. Acceleration and magnetometry data were used to estimate the locomotion cost (LC) from the relationship between activity and the O2 ...

Protein Structure Determination by Racemic and Quasi‐Racemic X‐Ray Crystallography

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 4, 25 February 2026.
Racemic mixtures of protein enantiomers facilitate formation of diffraction‐quality crystals in centrosymmetric space groups that have quantized phases which simplify structure solution. Quasi‐racemic mixtures of a protein and its mirror image isomorph similarly facilitate formation of highly ordered crystals.
