Safeguarding a Flagship Species: Integrated Surveillance of Cross‐Species Pathogen Transmission in Giant Panda Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Risks to the Growth, Conservation and Management of the Ural Saiga Population

Diversity
The Ural saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica) inhabits the expansive steppes and deserts of Kazakhstan. Disease outbreaks, particularly among livestock, can impact saiga populations by causing competition for resources and increasing mortality rates.

Lymph‐based liquid biopsy: Current progress and future potential

Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2026.
Recent evidence under the revised Starling principle indicates that lymph‐based liquid biopsies may offer superior diagnostic performance over blood‐based counterparts in certain clinical scenarios, such as early‐stage solid tumor detection. Currently, various biomarkers within the lymphatic system show significant diagnostic potential for a range of ...

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Reports in the literature of mass mortality events (MMEs) involving diverse animal taxa are increasing. Yet, many likely go unobserved due to imperfect detection and infrequent sampling. MMEs involving small, cryptic species, for instance, can be difficult to detect even during the event, and degradation and scavenging of carcasses can make ...

Cave Palaeolithic of the Ural Mountains – a review

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 4-28, January 2026.
The Ural Mountains are of fundamental importance for studying early human migrations along the geographical limits between Europe and Asia. Geological processes and past climates gave rise to numerous caves, mostly in Palaeozoic carbonate formations.

Gut microbiome reveals contrasting enterotypes and health statuses of semi-wild Saiga antelopes (Saiga tatarica)

Global Ecology and Conservation
Gut microbiome studies based on fecal samples can non-invasively reflect the survival and health status of endangered species. This study presents the first characterization of the gut microbiome in the semi-wild population of the critically endangered ...
