Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.

Ecotoxicological Assessment of Mercury in Fish From a Gold‐Mining‐Impacted Amazonian River: Biomonitoring and Human Health Risk

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Peixoto de Azevedo River, located in northern Mato Grosso, southern Brazilian Amazon, has a long history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM). This study evaluated total mercury (THg) concentrations in fish tissues to assess biomagnification and potential risks.

Effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on physical activity and pain evaluation in osteoarthritic dogs

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) causes chronic pain and reduces welfare in dogs. Standard treatments may be inadequate or associated with adverse effects, prompting investigation of alternative therapies. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non‐pharmacological pain management method, but evidence for its efficacy in canine ...

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.

Monitoring the effects of ovariectomy on seasonal movement behavior in suburban female white‐tailed deer using internet of things‐enabled devices

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Abundant deer populations often cause conflicts in suburban communities, yet traditional population reduction methods, such as controlled hunting, can be challenging to implement. Fertility control, specifically through ovariectomy, can limit reproduction and reduce populations in certain settings, but its effect on movement behavior remains poorly ...
