Living Low and Dry: Costs of and Resilience to Soil Hydric Stress in a Fossorial Amphisbaenian Reptile

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

Temporal Responses to Warming: Do Wild Herbivores Trade Off Heat, Predators, and Humans?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We untangled how summer temperature, predators, and humans influenced behavioral responses in two deer species. Both reduced their daily activity level in response to warming, yet only roe deer increased nocturnality to avoid heat. Conversely, fallow deer traded off heat avoidance with predator avoidance.

Advances in Electrocardiogram‐Based Non‐Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring Technology

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blood glucose monitoring is fundamental to diabetes management, yet traditional invasive methods are limited by patient discomfort and infection risks. In recent years, electrocardiogram (ECG), a conventional tool for cardiovascular assessment, has gained attention as a prospective method for non‐invasive blood glucose monitoring.
