Development and validation of a cephalic conformation scoring system for the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extreme cephalic conformation has been theorised to be associated with compromised health in rabbits. However, recognition and assessment of such phenotypes remain largely subjective. This study aimed to develop and validate a visual, semi‐quantitative system for head shape phenotype in rabbits.

Human‐Caused Leopard Deaths in Sri Lanka Are Concentrated in Central Highlands' Estate Mosaics: Evidence From 17 Years of Mortality Records 人为因素导致斯里兰卡豹死亡事件集中于中部高地种植园镶嵌景观:来自 17 年死亡记录的证据

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Human‐caused leopard deaths in Sri Lanka averaged 9.65 ± 4.5 records year−1 over 17 years (2008–2024; n = 164), with records highly clustered in the central highland mosaic ecosystem. Mortality was dominated by adult males and driven primarily by snaring in plantation landscapes, and indicating an increase approximately 0.7–0.8 deaths per year.

Bird extinctions shift bill–flower trait matching in Hawaiian lobelioids

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Species extinctions can reorganize ecological interactions by altering the distribution of functional traits within communities. These traits structure how species interact, influencing whether encounters result in mutualistic or antagonistic outcomes.

Discovering the unseen: A performance comparison of taxonomic classification methods for unknown DNA barcodes

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract DNA barcoding and metabarcoding have emerged as cost‐efficient, standardized methods for characterizing local biodiversity. Based on the sequencing of a small targeted gene fragment, it is theoretically possible to identify a wide diversity of taxa by comparing them with reference sequence databases.

Associations Between Dissociation and Childhood Trauma in Borderline Personality Disorder and Affective Disorders: A Network Analytic Approach

open access: yesActa Psychiatrica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dissociation and childhood trauma are strongly associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD), yet it remains unclear whether this reflects disorder‐specific mechanisms or differences in symptom severity within a shared transdiagnostic structure. Objective Using network analysis, we examined whether the conditional dependency
