Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1298-1310, August 2026.
We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.

Differential Myopathic and Transcriptomic Changes in Soleus and Gastrocnemius Muscles in a Novel Chronic Hindlimb Ischemia Rat Model Induced by Endovascular Catheter Occlusion

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a progressive atherothrombotic disorder affecting more than 230 million people worldwide. Conventional animal models of chronic hindlimb ischemia (HLI) are highly invasive, technically challenging, fail to account for anatomical variation, and may not accurately recapitulate progressive PAD pathophysiology ...

She Doesn't Whisper: Female‐Prominent Stridulation Shaped by Morphology in a Buthid Scorpion and Insights on Its Function

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 8, Page 533-543, August 2026.
Sexual dimorphism and stress‐induced stridulatory responses in Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). Females exhibited greater absolute pectinal size and higher sound pressure levels, whereas males showed higher pectinal allometric ratios relative to body size, lower sound frequencies, and shorter delta times.

Untangling Mephedrone‐Induced Social Reward in Rats—The Involvement of Oxytocin and Vasopressin V1A Receptors

Genes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 25, Issue 4, August 2026.
Social context alters the neurochemical and neuropeptidergic mechanisms of mephedrone reward, revealing a dual regulation by monoamines and oxytocin/vasopressin signaling in brain regions critical for reinforcement. ABSTRACT The rewarding effects of psychostimulants are strongly influenced by social context, yet the underlying neurochemical and ...

Estradiol Replacement Modulates Synaptic Transmission‐Related Proteins in the Hippocampus of Ovariectomized Rats: An Exploratory Proteomic Approach

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 8, August 2026.
The estrogen deficiency in the hippocampus influences cognitive functions and control of food intake. Hippocampi of female rats, either control or ovariectomized, with or without estrogen replacement, were submitted to LC–MS/MS and analysis of pathway‐based functional roles of proteins affected by estrogen deficiency and replacement.

Transcriptomic changes in the jerboa supraoptic nucleus during osmotic stress: PCSK1 and PTPRN changes are conserved across desert and mesic species

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The supraoptic nucleus (SON) is a hypothalamic region essential for the orchestration of osmoregulation in mammals. We sought to understand how gene expression in the SON is orchestrated in a rodent species adapted for survival in arid desert conditions.
