The macroecology of immunity: predominant influence of climate on invertebrate immune response

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The immune system is the primary defense against parasites. With the ever‐increasing rate of disease, epidemiologic models considering geographic variation in immune responses could prove useful. Despite increasing interest in the macroecology of parasitism and infectious diseases, we know little about the macroecology of immune responses (i.e ...

Selectivity and Sociality: Aggression and Affiliation Shape Vole Social Relationships

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
The formation of selective social relationships is not a requirement of group living; sociality can be supported by motivation for social interaction in the absence of preferences for specific individuals, and by tolerance in place of social motivation ...

Sex differences in neuromodulatory subcortical systems and their implications for Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Neuromodulatory subcortical systems (NSSs) are uniquely susceptible to dementia‐related pathology, leading to frequent molecular and behavioral impairments associated with altered function of these nuclei. Some of these systems display clear sex‐specific cytoarchitecture and signaling leading to distinct physiology and behavioral outputs in ...

Post-weaning Social Isolation in Male and Female Prairie Voles: Impacts on Central and Peripheral Immune System

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
The socially monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) offers a unique opportunity to examine the impacts of adolescent social isolation on the brain, immune system, and behavior.

Prenatal Psychosocial Distress Interacting with Postnatal Maternal Sensitivity in Shaping Infant Observed Affect and RSA Profiles

open access: yesDevelopmental Psychobiology, Volume 68, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT We (1) identified profiles of infant behavioral and physiological responses across the still‐face paradigm, (2) examined differences in subsequent infant outcomes across profiles, and (3) examined the independent and interactive effects of prenatal maternal distress and early postnatal caregiving environments as predictors of infant profiles ...

The Neurobiology of Love and Pair Bonding from Human and Animal Perspectives

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Love is a powerful emotional experience that is rooted in ancient neurobiological processes shared with other species that pair bond. Considerable insights have been gained into the neural mechanisms driving the evolutionary antecedents of love by ...

Use of chlorophacinone in the struggle against the common vole (Microtus arvalis Pallas) and against the muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus L.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
Use of the anticoagulant rodenticide chlorophacinone was largely developed in France during the past decade. Laboratory and field trials of this compound’s development for control of the common vole (Microtus arvalis) and the introduced muskrat (Ondatra ...

Rapid ideal habitat selection in a homogeneous environment

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Studies of density‐dependent habitat selection typically assess choices between two or more distinctly different habitat opportunities. Although such studies can clearly document habitat choice, they cannot unambiguously differentiate the effects of density from underlying differences in habitat and their associated cues for choosing some ...

Wide recreational trails are semi‐barriers to deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) in small forest preserves

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract While roads have well‐documented effects on wildlife movement, the impact of smaller non‐vehicle recreational trails typical of urban preserves is less thoroughly understood, particularly for small mammals. We used mark–recapture to identify movement of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) across three broad (>2.5 m) recreational trails in small

Social isolation alters behavior, the gut-immune-brain axis, and neurochemical circuits in male and female prairie voles

open access: yesNeurobiology of Stress, 2020
The absence of social support, or social isolation, can be stressful, leading to a suite of physical and psychological health issues. Growing evidence suggests that disruption of the gut-immune-brain axis plays a crucial role in the negative outcomes ...
