A Scoping Review: The Effect of Anthropogenic Noise on Animal Welfare in Zoological Settings
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.This scoping review was conducted to determine the impact of anthropogenic noise on animal welfare in zoological settings and identify knowledge gaps. Some studies found a negative impact with increased vigilance as a common behavioral change. A small number of studies evaluated physiological changes. Though other factors could be involved.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 946-964, September 2026.Attentive to the ways that inertia can take hold of life, Catholic monks recognize despondency as a potential not only within the monastery, but in contemporary society more widely. Such experiences are regularly mapped onto an understanding of what early Christian monks termed ‘acedia’ (a Greek term that can be translated as ‘lack of care’). Taking as

Small datasets support conservation: Improving detectability for the elusive rusty‐spotted cat
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.In western circles, the value of small, locally specific data is increasingly under‐appreciated and undervalued by research metrics indexing research impact. We report novel data for the elusive, threatened, rusty‐spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) whose fundamental ecology remains virtually unknown.

The hidden teeth of sloths: evolutionary vestiges and the development of a simplified dentition
, 2016 International audienceXenarthrans are unique among mammals in retaining simplified teeth that are rootless and homodont, which makes it difficult to determine dental homologies.

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3640-3655, September 2026.Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Evidence of gregarious behaviour in paleoburrows of mylondontidae (giant sloths)
, 2016 This article presents evidence of gregarious behavior in paleoburrows attributed to giant sloths. Paleoburrows are biogenic structures in the shape of galleries and halls excavated by extinct giant mammals that lived in the Pliocene and Pleistocene.

Elevated retrocopy burden and sloth-specific expansions illuminate mammalian genome evolution
BMC BiologyBackground Xenarthrans, comprising sloths, anteaters, and armadillos, represent one of the most morphologically and physiologically specialized mammalian clades, yet the genomic basis of their adaptations remains poorly understood.
