Personality Matters: Owner‐Ascribed Personality Predicts Range Size Tendencies and Predation Behavior in Domestic Cats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Free‐ranging domestic cats (Felis catus) can impact wildlife through predation and landscape of fear. We monitored 23 suburban cats south of Paris using GPS collars and animal‐borne cameras and assessed personality traits via owner questionnaires.

NEW FINDINGS OF CHIGGER MITES (ACARIFORMES: TROMBICULIDAE) IN THE REPUBLIC OF KARELIA AND THE ARKHANGELSK REGION

open access: yesTransactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2019
The article provides information on the occurrence of chigger mites (Acariformes, Trombiculidae), obtained as a result of long-term studies of the ectoparasite fauna of small mammals from 1992 to 2018 in Karelia, Murmansk Region (2015), Arkhangelsk ...

Does water vole diet meet the prerequisites of the “plant hypothesis” for explaining population cycles?

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rodent population cycles are observed in highly seasonal environments. As most rodents are herbivorous, the availability and the quality of their food resources vary greatly across seasons. Furthermore, it is well documented that herbivore densities have a measurable effect on vegetation and, conversely, that vegetation dynamics can influence ...

The polar clasps of a bank vole PrP(168--176) prion protofibril revisiting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
On 2018-01-17 two electron crystallography structures (with PDB entries 6AXZ, 6BTK) on a prion protofibril of bank vole PrP(168-176) (a segment in the PrP $\beta$2-$\alpha$2 loop) were released into the PDB Bank.

Anthropogenic disturbance and trophic interactions mediate population viability of American martens

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
We present a simulation model of the probability of collapse to <10% of carrying capacity for American marten populations over a 50‐year time frame in relation to forest disturbance due to commercial harvesting and fur‐trapping levels. Probability of collapse differed between models that assumed no effect of logging (solid line), martens living in a ...

New method for visualization of C-heterochromatin in synaptonemal complex spreads

open access: yesComparative Cytogenetics, 2013
DAPI staining of the metaphase chromosomes pretreated with barium hydroxide generates a C-like banding pattern. In this work a protocol for visualizing similar pattern at the synaptonemal complex (SC) spreads after immunostaining is suggested.

The Late Pleistocene microvertebrate fauna of the Vaskapu Cave (North Hungary) and its taphonomical, biostratigraphical and palaeoecological implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
About 60 years later than the systematic excavation in 1933 carried out by Dr. Mária Mottl and her coworkers, the Vaskapu locality in North Hungary was rediscovered by Dr. János Hír.

Microevolution of bank voles (Myodes glareolus) at neutral and immune-related genes during multiannual dynamic cycles : Consequences for Puumala hantavirus epidemiology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding howhost dynamics, including variations of population size and dispersal, may affect the epidemiology of infectious diseases through ecological and evolutionary processes is an active research area.

Stabilization of MyoD by Direct Binding to p57Kip2 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
Recent data have demonstrated the role of Cdk1- and Cdk2-dependent phosphorylation of MyoD(Ser200) in the regulation of MyoD activity and protein turnover. In the present study, we show that in presence of p57(Kip2), MyoD(Ala200), a MyoD mutant that cannot be phosphorylated by cyclin-Cdk complexes, displayed activity 2-5-fold higher than of MyoD(Ala200)

Individual variation in perceived density of conspecifics and its impacts on the realization of ecological niches

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Animals gather information about their surroundings, including their social environment, using a wide range of sensory modalities. Variation in reception, processing and interpretation of information (cues or signals) can lead to differences in how individuals perceive their local environment. Yet, how individual differences in environmental perception
