Spatial Ecology and Habitat Selection by Jaguars and Pumas in a Protected Area in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding animal distribution is crucial for elucidating natural history, population dynamics, and inter‐ and intraspecific interactions. This knowledge informs the planning and evaluation of management and conservation strategies, particularly for sympatric, scarce, and threatened species such as jaguars (Panthera onca) and pumas (Puma ...

Morphological Evaluation of the Hip Joint and Pelvic Limb Bones of the Lowland Tapir (Tapirus terrestris Linnaeus, 1758) Using Radiography and Computed Tomography

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The study aimed to characterize, through imaging examinations—including radiographs and computed tomography—the hip joint and the bones of the thigh, leg and feet in Lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris). Ten pelvic limbs were collected, two from juveniles and the remaining from adults. The femoral head exhibited a rounded morphology with a well‐

Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
With the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and

Unveiling the Dietary Selection of Lowland Tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) in a Tropical Rainforest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Large terrestrial herbivores, such as lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) present many dietary ecological roles in their habitat. In this article, we investigated the diet of lowland tapirs in a tropical rainforest combining different techniques such as DNA metabarcoding, fieldwork, and plant functional traits.

The Effectiveness of Postharvest Processing on Microbiological Safety of Game Meat—A Systematic Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The rising global consumption of game meat has highlighted gaps in the management of biological hazards associated with its production and consumption, and the safety of processed game meat products remain insufficiently addressed. Therefore, there is a need for research evaluating the effectiveness of processing and preservation methods in ...

Patch and Landscape Predictors of Mammal Diversity and Their Trait‐Relationships in the Largest Atlantic Forest Island in Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...

Ticks and tick‐borne bacterial pathogens found on hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) on cattle in the Central River region of The Gambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 91-100, March 2026.
First detection of Ehrlichia minasensis, Anaplasma marginale and hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in cattle in The Gambia. Identification of four tick species, with Hyalomma marginatum being the most common. 15.6% of ticks tested positive for tick‐borne pathogens, including Ehrlichia spp., A. marginale and hemotropic Mycoplasma spp.

Tails of Biodiversity: Vertebrate Community Assessment in a Neotropical River Basin via eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to assess vertebrate biodiversity in headwater streams of the Rio Santo Antônio basin, southeastern Brazil, a tributary of the Rio Doce. A total of 119 vertebrate OTUs were identified, with oxidation–reduction potential emerging as the strongest environmental predictor of species richness.

Bluetongue Virus Serotype 3 Follow‐Up of the 2024 Outbreak in Two Belgian Zoos

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In summer 2024, Western Europe experienced extensive outbreaks of bluetongue virus Serotype 3 (BTV‐3), a Culicoides‐borne orbivirus. Clinical disease was first detected in August 2024 in one of two Belgian zoos, predominantly affecting European bison (Bison bonasus) and American bison (Bison bison).
