Who Is Likely to Cheat? Linking Personality to Worthless Gift Production in a Spider

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 12, Page 313-320, December 2025.
Male spiders of Pisaura mirabilis use two strategies to court females: offering either nutritious gifts or worthless ones. Our study shows that aggressive and larger males are more likely to use worthless items, highlighting how individual differences in behaviour and body size influence these tactics. These findings reveal how personality and physical

Cloning, purification and comparative characterization of two digestive lysozymes from Musca domestica larvae [PDF]

, 2008
cDNA coding for two digestive lysozymes (MdL1 and MdL2) of the Musca domestica housefly was cloned and sequenced. MdL2 is a novel minor lysozyme, whereas MdL1 is the major lysozyme thus far purified from M. domestica midgut.

Effects of fishmeal substitution with mealworm meal (Tenebrio molitor) on the growth performance, flesh quality, feed utilization, digestibility, and digestive system histology of fingerling rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract This study examined the effects of fishmeal substitution with mealworm meal (MWM) in the diets of rainbow trout fingerlings (Oncorhynchus mykiss) on growth performance, flesh quality, amino acid digestibility, and digestive system histology. Five diets, which were iso‐nitrogenous (average of 46.50% crude protein), iso‐lipidic (average of 19.76%

Multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and Tetracycline-resistant Enterococcus faecalis in wild raptors of Alabama and Georgia, USA [PDF]

, 2019
Wild birds inhabit in a wide variety of environments and can travel great distances. Thus, wild birds can possibly spread antimicrobial resistance along the way, and this may represent a potential public health concern.

Antimicrobial‐Resistant Bacteria in Environmental Samples From a Rural District Focused on Large‐Scale Agricultural Production

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 12, Page 1269-1282, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern, especially in regions with intense agricultural production. This study investigates the presence of antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria in Caramuru, Espírito Santo state, a rural district focused on large‐scale agricultural production in Brazil. Samples of water, soil, animal faeces and environmental
