Updating the forelimb anatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus, Felidae) based on evolutionary inferences of its muscles and nerves I: Shoulder and brachium

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 targets mitochondria, exacerbating COVID‐19 pneumonia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Following entry into airway epithelial cells (AECs), SARS‐CoV‐2 releases its single‐stranded RNA into the cytoplasm, where it is translated into viral proteins. Several of these viral proteins localize to mitochondria and interact with key mitochondrial components.

Transcriptomic Characterization of Male Formosan Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla pentadactyla) Reproductive Tract and Evaluation of Domestic Cat (Felis catus) as a Potential Model Species

Animals
The Formosan pangolin (Manis pentadactyla pentadactyla) is an endemic animal of Taiwan. Due to their reduced population and behavior, very little is known about this enigmatic species. To unravel male pangolin reproduction, in the present study, we built

Using Metabarcoding Techniques to Map Multiple Dung Beetle‐Vertebrate iDNA Networks in a Southeast Asian Forest

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Given the high levels of endemism, diversity, and increasing anthropogenic impacts in tropical regions, studies on species interactions and ecological networks are urgently needed to understand community responses to environmental change. Increasingly, molecular methods are used to monitor biodiversity and identify species interactions.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Scaly trade: Analyses of the media reports of pangolin (Pholidota) scale interceptions within and out of Africa

Global Ecology and Conservation
Despite the international trade ban (CITES, Appendix I), African pangolin trade and shipping within and out of Africa persist. Phataginus tricuspis and Smutsia gigantea are now classified as Endangered, and Phataginus tetradactyla and Smutsia temminckii ...

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Assessment of Nontarget Small Mammal Occupancy Using Broadly Designed Camera Arrays

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Camera traps are a mainstay method in ecological research and monitoring, often focusing on a single species; however, many nontarget species are captured as well. We aimed to assess the distributions and trends in the occurrence of nontarget species captured by an existing camera trap study initially designed to monitor mesocarnivores in Rhode Island,

Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Clinical and Genetic Characterization of Inherited NPRL3 Splice Variants in Two Patients With Epilepsy

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study identifies two novel inherited NPRL3 splice variants in Chinese pediatric patients with focal epilepsy, revealing significant genetic heterogeneity, incomplete penetrance, and phenotypic variability that underscores the importance of tailored antiepileptic management.
