Landscape Fragmentation Driven by Land Use Change Dominates the Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity of Non‐Point Source Pollution Loads in Human‐Intensive Basins: A Case Study of the Dongjiang River Basin, China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10440-10463, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Landscape fragmentation may influence the spatial distribution and temporal variation of non‐point source (NPS) pollution by altering hydrological processes, pollutant transport pathways, and ecosystem service functions. However, under the combined effects of natural factors (e.g., precipitation, topography) and anthropogenic factors (e.g ...

Low‐Power NIR‐II Excitable Organic Phototheranostic Agents With NIR‐IIb Emission for Precise Cancer Theranostics

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
The noncovalent conformational locks (NoCLs) strategy modulates molecular aggregation to synergistically enhance NIR‐II absorption, NIR‐IIb emission, and photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE). QCF NPs incorporating both S···O and S···N NoCLs achieve concurrent NIR‐IIb emission (1550 nm) and PCE (75%) under low‐power 1064 nm excitation, establishing ...

Effects of Lycium barbarum Residue Substituting Dietary Maize on Fecal Microbiota and Growth Performance of Crossbred Simmental Cattle

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 335-346, August 2026.
The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CDH18 gene affect growth traits in Hu sheep

Animal Research and One Health
Growth traits are critical economic traits in sheep. Genetic polymorphism has a great influence on the improvement of sheep traits. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of cadherin 18 (CDH18) gene polymorphisms on growth traits in Hu sheep ...

Screening of Candidate SNPs Potentially Associated with Multi-Parity Litter Size and Litter Weight in Hu Sheep

Animals
Multi-parity records improve ewe evaluation but require long-term follow-up. This study compared litter size, litter weight, and lambing type across four parities in 256 Hu sheep and 90 Tan sheep and evaluated six candidate SNPs in Hu sheep.

Individualised niches: an integrative conceptual framework across behaviour, ecology, and evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1793-1804, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Individuals differ. While seemingly trivial, this insight has nevertheless led to paradigm shifts, as three key fields of organismal biology have seen marked changes in key concepts over the past few decades. In animal behaviour, it has become increasingly recognised that behavioural differences among individuals can be stable over time and ...

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1877-1903, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Systemic and Local Adiposity in the Bone Marrow Microenvironment Associated With Improved Prognosis in Hodgkin Lymphoma: Imaging and Molecular Analysis

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 3, Page 782-796, 1 August 2026.
Schematic overview of systemic and bone marrow‐specific adiposity in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). Body Mass Index was associated with bone marrow (BM) involvement, relapse, and mortality (1). In contrast, increased yellow marrow density was associated with poorer prognosis (2).

Microbial insights into ruminal fiber degradation and feed efficiency of Hu sheep

Frontiers in Microbiology
Ruminal fiber degradation is essential for feed conversion efficiency in sheep; however, it remains unclear whether individual variations in ruminal fiber degradation directly affect feed conversion efficiency. Here, the relationship between ruminal fiber degradation rate and feed conversion efficiency and influence of rumen structure, function, and ...
