Lessons from an eradication under multiple constraints of an island rat population of record density

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Invasive rats threaten island biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and endangering native species. Although rat eradication has succeeded on many islands, tropical islands present unique management challenges. Strict regulations and financial constraints on some tropical islands further limit proven eradication methods, complicating rodent ...

Negative attitudes of an indigenous community are associated with lethal control of rodents in a temperate forest of Mexico

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
The essential ecological roles of rodents are often overlooked, as they can decimate crops and spread diseases. We aimed to unpack the knowledge, attitudes and control practices of farmers and foresters towards rodents from an indigenous community in Nuevo San Juan, Mexico.

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

Assessing the palatability of different meats consumed in a biodiversity hotspot to inform alternative protein interventions

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Alternative protein interventions are common in conservation. They aim to reduce the hunting or consumption of wildlife by promoting substitutes. However, selecting suitable meat substitutes is challenging because many factors drive wild meat consumption. Palatability, one such factor, drives consumer food preference and is potentially crucial

Transcriptomic profiling of dorsal root ganglia in atopic and healthy dogs: A comparative RNA sequencing study with implications in cutaneous itch research

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 401-411, August 2025.
Background – Itch is a common symptom in skin disorders. While the neural pathways of itch transmission from the skin to the brain are well‐understood in rodents, the same pathways in dogs remain unclear. The knowledge gap hinders the development of effective treatments for canine itch‐related disorders.
