Individual characteristics, experience, and environmental conditions shape large‐scale patterns of animal activity timing

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The timing of an animal's activity affects its survival and reproduction because timing determines the nature of every interaction an organism has with its environment. Although the timing of activity may depend on aspects of the individual (e.g., body mass, reproductive status, experience) or the nature of the environment (e.g., temperature ...

The occurrence and characterization of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli in organic pigs and their outdoor environment [PDF]

, 2006
The occurrence and species distribution of thermophilic Campylobacter was investigated in organic outdoor pigs. An increased exposure of outdoor pigs to C. jejuni from the environment may cause a shift from a normal dominance of C. coli to more C. jejuni,

Testing the Energetics of Gestation and Growth Hypothesis for Human Secondary Altriciality

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The pronounced neurological immaturity, yet increased birthweight of human neonates relative to other primates, known as secondary altriciality, is traditionally attributed to obstetric constraints arising from pelvic adaptations for bipedal locomotion and childbirth—the so‐called obstetrical dilemma.

DiVert: A Global Database of Land Use and Management Effects on Local Vertebrate Abundance and Diversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation Given that land use is a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide, it is key to understand how different land use types and management practices affect biodiversity. Existing global databases on biodiversity responses to land use generally distinguish only broad land use types, focus on a wide taxonomic coverage at the expense of
