Variations in Movement and Habitat Selection by Eurasian Curlew at Two Important Sites in Europe Throughout Winter

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study aimed to determine if the space and habitats used by Eurasian curlews (Numenius arquata) were influenced by their wintering site and stage. A total of 62 curlews were equipped with GPS‐GSM tags at two major wintering sites in Europe and their home ranges and foraging habitat selection were compared according to three wintering stages ...

Vancomycin Protects Against Lung Injury and Promotes Butyrate Metabolism

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
Transplanting the fecal microbiota of patients with lung injury into mice causes an increase in LPS in the mice's blood, thereby leading to chronic lung injury in the mice. Meanwhile, oral administration of vancomycin can enhance colonic butyrate metabolism and improve lung injury in mice.
