A Novel Image‐Based Approach for Analyzing Neutrophil Chemotaxis Using a Boyden Chamber Assay
Abstract Chemotaxis is a fundamental biological process in which cells such as leukocytes migrate directionally from one site to another in response to a chemical gradient. This process of cellular migration is critical for execution of appropriate physiological responses to inflammation, as observed during immune defense and wound healing responses ...

This study reveals how forest–grassland edges act as ecological barriers that shape tri‐trophic interaction networks. Using multilayer network theory, it uncovers how species influence and biodiversity patterns emerge across spatial layers, offering novel insights into edge‐driven community assembly and conservation in fire‐prone mosaics.

On the Identifiability of Genetic Parameters for Growth in Mice With a Massively Deep Pedigree
ABSTRACT In models with direct and maternal genetic effects, structural features of the data are a potential source of bias and low accuracy of estimates for genetic covariance parameters. One of the well‐known reasons for such poor practical identifiability is the lack of dams with own observations.

ABSTRACT It is known that phenological changes (i.e., behavioural and sometimes morphological and physiological traits that repeat annually) influence the wildlife gut microbiota. However, it remains largely unknown to what extent geographic variation could modulate the effect that phenology has on wildlife microbiota.

Relationship between Gonadal Steroids and Corticosterone during Blood Sampling in Saker Falcons [PDF]
Blood sampling in manually restrained or ketamine (15 mg/kg given intramuscularly) treated saker falcons (Falco cherrug) induced an increased concentration in plasma corticosterone. Elevated plasma progesterone, oestradiol 17 beta, and testosterone concentrations also were observed in some of these birds.

Does compliance with the global anticorruption regime require the use of artificial intelligence?
Abstract Business firms constantly hear that artificial intelligence has changed the world and that they must either utilize artificial intelligence or fall behind. By extension, this would be true of regulatory compliance as well as operations. This article challenges the mantra of artificial intelligence as a ubiquitous agent of change.
