Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

In savanna ecosystems, tree canopy patches differ in plant species composition compared to adjacent intercanopy spaces due to different levels of resource availabilities. Mistletoes further augment nutrients underneath tree canopies whilst reducing their

Abstract Ecological stoichiometry emphasizes that mismatches between the elemental composition of organisms and their resources can shape ecological interactions, evolutionary trajectories, and nutrient cycling. For hemiparasitic plants such as mistletoes, which draw water and nutrients from hosts while maintaining their own photosynthesis, such ...

Spontaneous regression of equine sarcoids is an exceptional event
Abstract Sarcoids are benign, yet locally aggressive skin tumours that commonly affect horses and other equid species. The lesions are induced by bovine papillomavirus types 1, 2, and probably 13 in conjunction with other factors including trauma and a genetic predisposition.

Traditional Respiratory Remedies From Anatolia: Ethnobotanical Insights and Bioactive Properties
ABSTRACT Respiratory disorders, ranging from acute viral infections such as influenza and bronchitis to chronic inflammatory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, emphysema, and pneumonia, represent a major global health burden, affecting millions annually. Traditional Anatolian folk medicine has long relied on plant‐based

Disproportionate Declines in Ground-Foraging Insectivorous Birds after Mistletoe Removal. [PDF]
Insectivorous birds have been recognized as disproportionately sensitive to land-use intensification and habitat loss, with those species feeding primarily on the ground exhibiting some of the most dramatic declines.

Stimuli‐responsive strategies to achieve controlled release of protein‐based therapeutic agents into solid tumors. Proteins, enzymes, and peptides have long been recognized as valuable therapeutic agents, particularly in oncology. However, their complex chemical structures render them more sensitive than smaller chemotherapeutic drugs.

Wilting wildflowers and bummed‐out bees: Climate change threatens US state symbols
Abstract Species designated as state symbols in the United States carry cultural importance, embody historical heritage and maintain long‐standing linkages to Indigenous traditions. However, they are threatened by climate change and even face the risk of local or global extinction.
