The Changing Landscape of Hantavirus Infections: A Narrative Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Countermeasures

open access: yesReviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Hantaviruses are emerging zoonotic pathogens of increasing global public health significance. Their epidemiological landscape is rapidly changing due to ecological disruption, climate variability, urbanisation, and evolving human–animal interfaces.

Corticosterone Under Experimental Manipulation of Nutrition and Parasite Burden in a Wild Rodent System

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 7, Page 749-758, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

Is the Cognitive Ability of Fawn‐Footed Mosaic‐Tailed Rat Melomys cervinipes Offspring Related to Mothers’ Care or Cognitive Abilities?

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 7, Page 785-794, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The cognitive abilities of many non‐human animals have been investigated in recent years; however, outside of laboratory rodent strains, it is largely unknown how direct and indirect genetic factors influence the development of cognition. In a previous study, we found no impact of maternal genetic or non‐genetic effects on problem solving in ...

Distribution and frequency of Vkorc1 polymorphisms in house mice and Norway rats in the northeastern United States

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7700-7710, August 2026.
This study assesses the distribution and frequency of Vkorc1 polymorphisms in house mice and Norway rats in northeastern USA. House mice showed higher frequency of Vkorc1 mutations than Norway rats. The A32V and Y139F mutations are first reported in mice, and the L128V is newly reported in Norway rats.

Two Secondary Introductions From a Shared Bridgehead Population Show Evidence of Divergent and Parallel Selection

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions offer large‐scale experiments for examining rapid evolution and testing the predictability of adaptive change. Assessing the repeatability of such adaptive responses, however, requires replicated introductions that share similar demographic and environmental contexts. Single introduction events are common during biological

How Prospecting for Informed Dispersal Shapes Biodiversity Patterns in a Metacommunity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study uses an individual‐based model of a small mammal metacommunity to explore how prospecting effort influences competitive exclusion and the resulting dispersal‐diversity relationship. The results show that high prospecting effort can create a hump‐shaped relationship between dispersal and diversity by intensifying competition, a pattern that ...

Quaternary Climatic Changes and Biogeographic Barriers Drove Codiversification in the Obligate Mutualism Between Camponotus laevigatus and Its Endosymbiont Blochmanniella

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
In this study, we examined the codiversification and phylogeography of Camponotus laevigatus and its obligate endosymbiont Blochmanniella using a population genomic approach. Using whole‐genome sequencing, we identified three phylogeographic clusters with congruent host‐endosymbiont phylogenies, significant isolation‐by‐distance, and Pleistocene ...

Leveraging Next‐Generation Tools for Genetic Assessment and Demographic Monitoring in Threatened and Elusive Humboldt Martens

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation assessments of imperiled species require information on population structure, abundance, and connectivity which benefit from integrated demographic and genetic data. Humboldt martens (Martes caurina humboldtensis) are a federally threatened subspecies of Pacific marten (Martes caurina) whose conservation has been hindered by ...
