Haemosporidian infections are more common in breeding shorebirds than in migrating shorebirds
Migrating animals are thought to be important spillover sources for novel pathogens. Haemosporidians (malaria‐related parasites) are one such group of pathogens that commonly spillover into novel host communities if competent vectors are present. In birds, shorebirds (sandpipers, plovers and allies) perform some of the longest avian migrations, yet ...

Notes on the occurrence of Acetropis Fieber, 1858 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) in Poland, with a key to Polish species [PDF]
In Poland the genus Acetropis Fieber, 1858 is represented by three species: A. carinata (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1841), A. gimmerthalii (Flor, 1860) and A. longirostris Puton, 1875.

Spatiotemporal plasticity of prey selection in the wolf
We reported prey selection by the wolf in two European areas hosting abundant populations of wild ungulates (Słowiński National Park, Poland; Maremma Regional Park, Italy). In both areas, wolves selected the locally most abundant species (red deer in Poland; wild boar in Italy).

Abstract Climate change is rapidly altering the distribution of suitable habitats for many species as well as their pathogenic microbes. For many pathogens, including vector‐borne diseases of humans and agricultural pathogens, climate change is expected to increase transmission and lead to pathogen range expansions.

Abstract In the last decade, the Fossilized Birth–Death (FBD) process has yielded interesting clues about the evolution of biodiversity through time. To facilitate such studies, we extend our method to compute the probability density of phylogenetic trees of extant and extinct taxa in which the only temporal information is provided by the fossil ages ...

VARDA (VARved sediments DAtabase) – providing and connecting proxy data from annually laminated lake sediments [PDF]
Varved lake sediments provide long climatic records with high temporal resolution and low associated age uncertainty. Robust and detailed comparison of well-dated and annually laminated sediment records is crucial for reconstructing abrupt and regionally

Outcrossing in Caenorhabditis elegans increases in response to food limitation
Abstract Theory predicts that organisms should diversify their offspring when faced with a stressful environment. This prediction has received empirical support across diverse groups of organisms and stressors. For example, when encountered by Caenorhabditis elegans during early development, food limitation (a common environmental stressor) induces the

Abstract Objective Several studies have attributed epileptic activities in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) to the hippocampus; however, the participation of nonhippocampal neuronal networks in the development of TLE is often neglected. Here, we sought to understand how these nonhippocampal networks are involved in the pathology that is associated with TLE

The psammophilous Grasslands on the Załęcze Nature Park Area (Wieluń Upland) [PDF]
In the Załęcze Nature Park there have been distinguished the following associations of psammophilous grasslands from Sedo-Scleranthetea class (Tables II - VI, VIII): Spergulo-Corynephoretum typicum, -cladonietosum, -festucetosum ovinae and -festucetosum
