Climate Change Challenges Grey Wolf Resilience: Insights From Dental Microwear
We investigate dietary plasticity in European grey wolves across interglacial periods using dental microwear texture analysis. Enhanced durophagy is associated with warm climates in both modern Polish and British Pleistocene wolves, indicating deep‐time behavioural flexibility.

Presence of foodborne pathogens, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase -producing Enterobacteriaceae, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in slaughtered reindeer in northern Finland and Norway [PDF]
Background: Various food-producing animals were recognized in recent years as healthy carriers of bacterial pathogens causing human illness. In northern Fennoscandia, the husbandry of semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) is a ...
