Ecotoxicological Insights From Ex Vivo Exposure of Whole Blood to PFOS and Glyphosate: Oxidative Stress and Immune Disruption

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the immunomodulatory effects of PFOS and glyphosate (GLY), both individually and in combination, on the whole blood of three ruminant species (cow, goats, and sheep) exposed ex vivo to environmentally relevant concentrations. The research focused on key biomarkers of oxidative stress (MDA), inflammation (myeloperoxidase

Intracranial squamous cell carcinoma in an Ovis aries.

Veterinaria italiana, 2020
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant mucoepithelial tumor that affects pets and farm animals. Common sites are dorsal areas and/or areas of poor skin pigmentation exposed to mutagenic ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Novel ovine papillomavirus (OaPV3) was recently described in SCC lesions in Sardinia breed ovines.

Alzheimer's disease markers in the aged sheep (Ovis aries) [PDF]

Neurobiology of Aging, 2017
This study reports the identification and characterization of markers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in aged sheep (Ovis aries) as a preliminary step toward making a genetically modified large animal model of AD. Importantly, the sequences of key proteins involved in AD pathogenesis are highly conserved between sheep and human.

Dietary shift of the common leopard Panthera pardus in and around Bani Wildlife Sanctuary, western Himalayas: implications for conservation and human–wildlife conflict

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding the dietary patterns of apex predator like the common leopard Panthera pardus is essential for evaluating their ecological role, particularly in landscapes where human–wildlife conflict is prevalent. In this context, this study investigates the seasonal diet composition of the common leopard in and around the Bani Wildlife Sanctuary, a ...

Are human‐altered landscapes reshaping carnivore niche spaces in the Trans‐Himalaya?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding carnivore interactions under growing human pressures is crucial for conservation. We examined spatial and temporal niche structuring among snow leopards Panthera uncia, Himalayan wolves Canis lupus chanco, and red foxes Vulpes vulpes; while also incorporating free‐ranging dogs Canis lupus familiaris as a human‐subsidized mesopredator ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

Plasma insulin‐like growth‐factor 1 (IGF‐1) concentrations predict early life‐history traits in a wild mammal

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The hormone insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) is a key player in the insulin/IGF signalling (IIS) pathway. Extensive biogerontological research demonstrates that this evolutionarily conserved nutrient‐sensing pathway plays a causal role in the regulation of growth ...

Identification and Validation of Genus/Species-Specific Short InDels in Dairy Ruminants

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Over the past thirty years, the identification of species-specific molecular markers has significantly advanced our understanding of genetic diversity in both plants and animals. Among these, short InDels have emerged as vital genomic features,

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.
