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

open access: yesBiological 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 ...

Spatial risk of pathogen transmission from cattle to vulnerable and endangered wild bovids in Thailand

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2025.
The highest risk areas for the native species are at the forest edges where overlap exists between high habitat suitability and high cattle density. Disease surveillance and mitigation at the edges of fragmented forests, where high cattle density could be implemented to reduce the risk.
