Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Reduced fecundity associated with Wolbachia infection in a Neotropical drosophilid Redução da fecundidade associada à infecção por Wolbachia em um drosofilídeo Neotropical

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 475-488, June 2026.
Using multiple infected and uninfected Drosophila sturtevanti lines, we investigated (i) the impact of Wolbachia on fecundity and (ii) its effects relative to antibiotic treatment. Based on over 1680 dissected ovaries, fecundity was similar between infected and uninfected flies.

Eficácia da administração de ração a bezerras lactentes e conseqüências na desmama, recria e reprodução

Boletim de Indústria Animal, 2014
Foram utilizadas bezerras cruzadas santa’gertrudi, nascidas no período de fevereiro a maio de 1975 e 1976 em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com dois tratamentos e 16 rapaticões. Os tratamentos diferiam apenas na fase de criacão. A recria e as coberturas das novilhas processavam-se no pasto.

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 558-569, June 2026.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Predictive factors for sperm retrieval and sperm injection outcomes in obstructive azoospermia: do etiology, retrieval techniques and gamete source play a role?

Clinics
Obstructive azoospermia is a relatively common male infertility condition. The main etiologies of obstructive azoospermia include congenital, surgical-derived, traumatic and post-infectious cases. Although seminal tract reconstruction is a cost-effective

Endogamia e reprodução de bovinos matiqueira da Estação esperimental de zootecnia de Pindaminhangaba

Boletim de Indústria Animal, 2014
Dados de trinta anos, desde a formação do rebanho mantiqueira, em 1952, foram estudados para avaliar o efeito da endogamia nas características de reprodução: idade ao primeiro parto (IPP), intervalo entre partos (IEP), período de serviço (PS), período de gestação (PG) e peso ao nascer do produto (PN).

A new endemic pearl cichlid of the ‘Geophagus’ brasiliensis (Cichliformes: Cichlidae) species group from the Piranga River, upper Doce River basin, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 6, Page 1687-1700, June 2026.
Abstract A new species of pearl cichlid of the ‘Geophagus’ brasiliensis species group, endemic to the Piranga River, a major tributary of the upper Doce River basin in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, is herein described. The new species is delimited using an integrative approach, with molecular‐based species delimitation methods coupled

Comparison of extenders and storage temperature in chilling canine semen

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2020
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of a commercial milk-based extender compared with a self-made egg yolk extender in the quality of canine semen, stored with two different temperatures (5°C or 15°C) for short-term cooling.

Climate‐induced shifts in long‐term tropical tree reproductive phenology: Insights from species dependent on and independent of biotic pollination

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1286-1298, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the
