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.

Are we there yet? Reliable occupancy modeling from AI‐labeled trail camera data

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Even low false‐positive rates in AI‐labeled camera‐trap data can bias occupancy estimates, particularly for rare species. Our results show that false positive informed occupancy models can substantially improve inference, underscoring the need to evaluate AI classifiers according to the assumptions of downstream ecological analyses.

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

Long-term snow-track indices of a Finnish native mesopredator declined while those of an invasive one increased

open access: yesScientific Reports
Monitoring both native and invasive species is crucial for understanding their ecological impacts. However, obtaining reliable data can be challenging, especially for elusive species like mesopredators.

Effects of castration on growth performance and cecal microbiota in growing raccoon dogs: an exploratory study

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research
Background Castration is a common surgical procedure in male farm animals and may affect growth and physiology. However, its effects on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, serum parameters, and cecal microbiota in growing raccoon dogs remain ...
