BIN1 and ALDH1B1 Deficiency in Colonic Smooth Muscle Drives Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Fibrosis in Slow‐Transit Constipation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 50, 7 September 2026.
Slow‐transit constipation (STC) is a disabling motility disorder with unclear smooth‐muscle mechanisms. Spatial proteomic analysis of STC patient colon reveals both the central pathogenic role of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in STC and novel regulators of intestinal motility, BIN1 and ALDH1B1.

Burkholderia pseudomallei Isolates in 2 Pet Iguanas, California, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, was isolated from abscesses of 2 pet green iguanas in California, USA. The international trade in iguanas may contribute to importation of this pathogen into countries where it is not endemic

Effects of off‐highway vehicle activity on Arizona wildlife: a systematic literature review

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
The published literature indicates that off‐highway vehicles (OHVs) predominantly negatively affect native Arizona amphibians, mammals, and reptiles, while effects of OHVs on native Arizona birds are mostly unknown or neutral. Abstract Off‐highway vehicle (OHV) recreation has dramatically increased in Arizona, USA, prompting concerns about potential ...

Measuring stabilized heart rates in the prairie lizard, a small vertebrate ectotherm

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 9, Page 2594-2602, September 2026.
Abstract The ability to accurately measure heart rates is vital for studying the ecological and evolutionary pressures on animals because cardiovascular regulation is associated with key physiological responses to environmental change. Heart rates, especially in ectotherms, are influenced by multiple factors over both the short and long term, including

Análisis comparativo proximal y de minerales entre carnes de iguana, pollo y res

Archivos Latinoamericanos de Nutrición, 2000
Se estudió la composición proximal (g/ 100g) y el contenido de algunos minerales (mg/100g) en carne cruda de especies diferentes (n = 20/especie). La carne de iguana (Iguana iguana) se obtuvo de ejemplares enteros capturados en finca.

SOS Cocodrilo Tampico: First‐responder actions to human–crocodile interactions in Northeastern Mexico

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Grupo S.O.S. Cocodrilo Tampico (GSOS‐T), a multi‐agency response team in Tampico, Mexico, documented four human–crocodile interactions with Crocodylus moreletii between 2021 and 2022—two fatal, two non‐fatal—revealing that homeless adults face the greatest risk.

Mechanisms of Movement Patterns: Physiology and Sex Influence Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Movement

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study tested physiological mechanisms of movement patterns in Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) by using autonomous GPS loggers. Total distance traveled, but not home range area, was physiologically limited. Females traveled the same distance as males, but had smaller home range areas, which challenges traditional understanding of sex‐based ...

Experimental evidence of negative agricultural impacts and effectiveness of mitigation strategies of invasive green iguanas (Iguana iguana) in Puerto Rico [PDF]

NeoBiota
Losses in crop yield due to invasive insects, weeds, pathogens, and herbivores cost trillions of dollars per year globally. To prevent further spread of invasive agricultural pest species, continuous monitoring and prevention are crucial. Once introduced,
