Anatomical Behaviour of the Phrenic Nerve and Innervation of the Diaphragm in the Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus)

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The phrenic nerve is responsible for the motor innervation of the diaphragm, which is essential for breathing. The literature lacks data regarding the nervous and respiratory systems of wild animals, especially the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus).

A suture in time: The ontogeny of cranial suture morphology in mammals

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 501-516, March 2026.
Mammal cranial sutures are important indicators of the biomechanical and developmental pressures acting upon the skull. Across three prominent sutures dividing the vault of the mammalian skull, divergent patterns emerge both taxonomically and developmentally.

Emotional and attitudinal responses to social media depictions of human–wildlife interactions at wildlife tourist attractions

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Wildlife tourist attractions (WTAs) can permit interactions between humans and wildlife that are detrimental to the animals’ welfare and species conservation. Social media portraying human–wildlife interactions could affect people's perceptions of their acceptability and desirability or stimulate demand for detrimental practices.

Grief‐Related Chest Pain: A Review, Conceptual Analysis, and Integrative Model

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Although the death of a loved one is a ubiquitous experience with chest pain a commonly reported symptom, grief‐related chest pain and particularly its physiological mechanisms remain under‐investigated. To address this gap, we adopted Rodger's approach to concept analysis to explore the psychoneuroimmunological mechanisms potentially linking ...

Mislabeled and Misunderstood: Large Mammal Distribution Underscores Ecological Significance of Agro‐Pastoral “Wastelands” in India's Deccan Peninsula

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
A large part of India's Deccan peninsula consists of agricultural lands interspersed with open ecosystems that support megafauna populations. We examined the distribution of four large mammals: blackbuck, striped hyena, sloth bear and the Indian wolf in agro‐pastoral landscapes of north Karnataka's Koppal district using an interview‐based occupancy ...

Seroprevalence of Arboviruses and Genetic Characterization of Orbiviruses in Sloths from Western Panama

Viruses
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are an increasingly significant threat to public health in tropical regions. In this study, we investigated the seroprevalence of various arboviruses in two species of sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni and Bradypus ...

Implications of a Neotropical Origin of the Genus Leishmania

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1998
The hypothesis of a Neotropical origin of the Leishmania/Endotrypanum clade is reviewed. The position of the L. (Sauroleishmania) external to the subgenus L. (Leishmania) is not consistent with the Neotropical origin of the latter subgenus.
