Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Challenges to establish the diagnosis of aspergillosis in non-laboratory animals: looking for alternatives in veterinary medicine and demonstration of feasibility through two concrete examples in penguins and dolphins

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Aspergillosis remains difficult to diagnose in animals. Laboratory-based assays are far less developed than those for human medicine, and only few studies have been completed to validate their utility in routine veterinary diagnostics.

Misperceptions of charismatic species' conservation status: Zoo visits and virtual exposure shape perceptions of extinction risk

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3648-3662, October 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating globally, yet species are not equally affected, and public perceptions of extinction risk often diverge from scientific assessments. Understanding what shapes public perceptions is critical for effective conservation communication, particularly in zoos, where many people encounter exotic and endangered ...

Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in the Indo‐Pacific: A Review of Their Distribution, Population Structure, and Ecology

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.
This review synthesises knowledge on killer whales across the Indo‐Pacific through the integration of published studies and collaboration. It shows that variation in killer whale occurrence, diet, and fisheries interactions is shaped by environmental heterogeneity and uneven research effort and highlights knowledge gaps with implications for ...
