The Greatest Show (Birds) on Earth: Public Presentations and Their Welfare Impacts on Zoo‐Housed Birds

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Birds involved in bird shows were compared against non‐show birds regarding show paticipation, behaviour, body score condiiton, and feather condition. Additionally, comparisons between on and off show days as well as before and after the show were made to investigate differences in behaviour and condition. Show birds demonstrated a closer to ideal body

Vehicle‐assisted suicidal strangulation: A case report and literature review

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Vehicle‐assisted suicidal strangulation is an unusual method of suicide where the victim completes suicide by pulling a ligature tied around their neck using the acceleration of the vehicle they are driving. This report describes a case of a 48‐year‐old man who completed suicide by tying a rope to his neck and to a parked tractor, then using ...

Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...
