Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite the widespread presence of cigarette butts in the environment, the potential toxicological effects posed by microplastics (MPs) derived from them remain poorly understood. In this study, we compared the effects of MPs from conventional cigarette butts (cellulose acetate) and heated tobacco devices (cellulose acetate and polylactic acid

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Evaluation of factors affecting greater prairie‐chicken nest and brood survival
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Greater prairie‐chickens Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus in the Flint Hills ecoregion select recently burned grasslands for brooding and nest in areas that have been unburned for 1–3 years, suggesting the need for a mosaic of burn patches. However, it is unknown how patch area, configuration, and proximity to edges within such mosaics affect reproductive ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Reported annual per‐capita harvest of muskrats (PCHM) decreased as wetland complexity (total number of wetland patches) decreased in 13 state and federal wetland areas in the Midwest, USA. Our results support the hypothesis that regional‐scale declines in the abundance of muskrats are likely associated with the losses to wetland habitats throughout the
