Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 5, Page 1299-1312, May 2026.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Identification of AGO2 and PLEC genes polymorphisms in Hu sheep and their relationship with body size traits

Animal Biotechnology
The body size traits are major traits in livestock, which intuitively displays the development of the animal’s bones and muscles. This study used PCR amplification, Sanger sequencing, KASPar genotyping, and quantitative real-time reverse transcription ...

From Assessment to Optimization: A Comprehensive Review of the Mutton Quality Evaluation Index, Factors, and Improvement Strategies

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes the comprehensive framework of mutton quality, including evaluation indices, influencing factors, and improvement strategies. Meat quality is systematically assessed through multiple dimensions, including flavor, color, pH, tenderness, water‐holding capacity, intramuscular fat, and nutritional composition.

Morphometric Analysis of the Pituitary Gland and Sella Turcica Using Computed Tomography Images in Hamdani Sheep: Evaluation of Sexual Dimorphism

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
In this study, computed tomography was employed to assess the morphometry of the pituitary gland and sella turcica in Hamdani sheep. Analysis demonstrated distinct sexual dimorphism, with males exhibiting significantly higher values across all volumetric and osteometric parameters.

Comparative whole-genome resequencing to uncover selection signatures linked to litter size in Hu Sheep and five other breeds

BMC Genomics
Hu sheep (HS), a breed of sheep carrying the FecB mutation gene, is known for its “year-round estrus and multiple births” and is an ideal model for studying the high fecundity mechanisms of livestock. Through analyzing and comparing the genomic selection

Endocytic recycling and vesicular transport systems mediate transcytosis of Leptospira interrogans across cell monolayer. [PDF]

, 2019
Many bacterial pathogens can cause septicemia and spread from the bloodstream into internal organs. During leptospirosis, individuals are infected by contact with Leptospira-containing animal urine-contaminated water.
