Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2608-2624, December 2025.ABSTRACTAnimal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”. Behaviour with

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 9, Page 2413-2432, September 2025.Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.Abstract A 21‐month‐old, male poodle was referred for evaluation of acute lethargy, anorexia and hypovolaemic shock. Initial diagnostic work‐up revealed severe regenerative anaemia, thrombocytopenia and leukocytosis. Abdominal ultrasonography identified free fluid and a suspected mass, with haemoperitoneum confirmed via abdominocentesis.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.The existence of bronchopulmonary nematodes in German roe deer Capreolus capreolus is well documented, with two types of lung parasites that have been described previously: Dictyocaulus capreolus and Varestrongylus capreoli. However, little is known about the impact of these parasites on their host animal or which parameters influence outbreak and ...

RNA‐binding proteins orchestrating immunity in plants
The Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 5, September 2025.SUMMARY RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) direct the function and fate of RNA throughout the RNA lifecycle and play important roles in plant immunity, orchestrating the post‐transcriptional reprogramming of the transcriptome following induction of plant immune responses, a process that we term ‘RBP‐mediated immunity’. Although the importance of specific RBPs
