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.

The Pangolin Universal Notching System: a scale-marking methodology for pangolins

Oryx
AbstractDespite thousands of individuals entering the illegal wildlife trade each year, assessments of pangolin populations are largely non-existent, even in areas with high exploitation and limited personnel and field equipment. Although pangolins have unique keratin-based scales, there is no universal scale-marking method for individuals despite some

Pangolin hunting and trafficking in the forest–savannah transition area of Cameroon

Oryx
Pangolins have long been hunted for food and for their scales, but information on local hunting strategies in African range countries and the patterns of pangolin trafficking around sourcing areas is limited.

Phenotypic Refinement of ESAM‐Related Tight‐Junctionopathy: Novel Genetic and Ocular Findings and Literature Review

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Overview of neurological, ocular, and genetic findings in individuals with bi‐allelic loss‐of‐function (LoF) ESAM variants. All affected subjects (n = 21) exhibited characteristic neurovascular and neurodevelopmental anomalies, while 45% also showed ocular (mainly retinal) involvement.

Functional reassessment of extended splice region variants in MYO7A with hearing loss and Usher syndrome

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 269, Issue 2, Page 222-231, June 2026.
Abstract MYO7A is a causal gene, underlying Usher syndrome type 1B (USH1B) and both autosomal recessive (DFNB2) and dominant (DFNA11) non‐syndromic hearing loss. Despite the large number of reported MYO7A variants (over 2,200), variants located in an extended splice region remain difficult to interpret and are often classified as variants of uncertain ...

Scaling up pangolin detection: Profiling pangolin volatilomes for wildlife forensic investigations

Forensic Science International
Accurate detection and identification of trafficked wildlife products, including the ability to differentiate species and populations, are critical for monitoring and tracing illicit trade. The deficiency of rapid and non-destructive tools restricts forensic and law enforcement efforts, resulting in overlooked consignments, inaccurate species ...

Identifying suitable wildlife reintroduction/reinforcement habitats based on environmental, dietary, and behavioral suitability

Global Ecology and Conservation
Global urbanization is intensifying human-induced ecological crises. As a crucial approach for ecological restoration, reintroduction/reinforcement of keystone species requires precise prediction of suitable release sites.

No safe refuge? Contrasting effects of hunting on rainforest mammal persistence and (re)colonisation

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results imply that hunting not only targets areas used as refuges by wildlife, but also reduces recolonisation potential and may therefore alter source–sink dynamics. We recommend spatially targeted community‐led actions to limit hunting where wildlife still persists through the creation of no‐hunting areas to ensure the long‐term persistence of ...

Modelling a Suitable Habitat for Nigeria–Cameroon Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes ellioti, Matschie, 1914) in Mpem and Djim National Park, Central Cameroon

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical forest mammalian communities, particularly those in ecological transition zones, are under constant threat from human activity. In many regions, there is a lack of baseline data on suitable habitats and the environmental factors influencing their suitability.

DiVert: A Global Database of Land Use and Management Effects on Local Vertebrate Abundance and Diversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation Given that land use is a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide, it is key to understand how different land use types and management practices affect biodiversity. Existing global databases on biodiversity responses to land use generally distinguish only broad land use types, focus on a wide taxonomic coverage at the expense of
