Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Degree of insecticide exposure and access to nectar impact survival of Trissolcus japonicus, a hymenopteran parasitoid, in flowering border strips

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We applied three thiamethoxam spray treatments to buckwheat border strips: control (no nearby spray), drift (adjacent peach trees directly sprayed) and direct spray (buckwheat and peaches directly sprayed). Drift‐treated buckwheat received about 1.4% the amount of thiamethoxam as direct‐spray buckwheat. This amount has no lethal effects on parasitoids,

Conservation of Threatened Canada-USA Trans-border Grizzly Bears Linked to Comprehensive Conflict Reduction

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2018
Mortality resulting from human–wildlife conflicts affects wildlife populations globally. Since 2004, we have been researching conservation issues and implementing a comprehensive program to reduce human–bear conflicts (Ursus spp.; HBC) for 3 small ...

Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments.

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Decoding Biothreats With FT‐ICR‐MS: Metabotyping of Bacillus cereus Spores Through Untargeted Metabolomics

open access: yesJournal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 61, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Genome sequencing is the gold standard for microbial identification. However, it fails to distinguish closely related species with overlapping genetic features. This is the case of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus cytotoxicus, two members of the B. cereus group with distinct pathogenic profiles. While B. cereus, a well‐known opportunistic pathogen

Characterization of a Murine Model for Encephalitozoon hellem Infection after Dexamethasone Immunosuppression

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Background: Encephalitozoon hellem (E. hellem) belongs to a group of opportunistic pathogens called microsporidia. Microsporidia infection symptoms vary and include diarrhea, ocular disorders and systemic inflammations.

Cancer Heterogeneity and Cancer Cell Plasticity: Molecular Mechanisms and Precision Therapy

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Tumor progression is driven by heterogeneity occurring across multiple biological scales. At the molecular level, tumor cells exhibit alterations across distinct omics layers, including genomic mutations, epigenomic reprogramming, transcriptional changes, and proteomic remodeling, collectively shaping tumor cell phenotypes and functional states.

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2091-2103, July 2026.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

Effects of lethal and non‐lethal wolf (Canis lupus) management measures on livestock depredation in the Golan Heights, Israel

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence
The grey wolf (Canis lupus) population in the Golan Heights is among the densest globally, with 80–100 individuals in 6 km from shooting sites, peaking at 6–12 km, indicating a potential spillover effect.
