Monitoring rodents' life history by body temperature and activity

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
European hamster populations are rapidly declining all over their distribution area. One of the suggested reasons is a strong and ongoing decrease in the reproductive output of about 77% since the nineteen twenties. The cause of this decline is, however, unknown.

Wildlife management in the United States – thoughts on evolving to better address species overabundance and disease transmission

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Management options and actions are important for responsibly working to keep populations of sometimes overabundant species of invasive and native wildlife at levels that keep damage (e.g., agricultural, environmental, human health and safety) and disease (e.g., species specific, shared with livestock, zoonotic) associated with them at acceptable levels.

Banking Biodiversity: Ex Vivo Solutions for a Planet in Crisis

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity is being lost faster than it can be cataloged. Biobanking preserves cells, gametes, and DNA as recoverable material for future conservation use, and delivers most when collections are established proactively rather than deployed once populations are already critically depleted.

Effects of bleach on carcass postmortem microbiomes and necrophagous beetle carcass attendance and their internal microbiomes

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology, and potentially microbiology in the future, can be used during death investigations to corroborate an estimated time since death. Instances where products are introduced to a cadaver, either in attempt to conceal or by accident, can affect decomposition and succession of associated decomposer taxa (i.e., insects and ...

Agri‐food Trade between Visegrad Countries and Taiwan: Opportunities, Limitations and Twists and Turns Commerce agroalimentaire entre les pays du groupe de Visegrad et Taïwan : Opportunités, limites et rebondissements Agrar‐ und Lebensmittelhandel zwischen den Visegrad‐Ländern und Taiwan: Chancen, Grenzen und Wendungen

EuroChoices, EarlyView.
Summary This study examines the dynamics and potential of agri‐food trade between the Visegrad Four (V4) countries and Taiwan, using this regional case to highlight broader opportunities for EU–Taiwan economic engagement. While the V4 countries have not historically been major agri‐food trading partners with Taiwan, the analysis reveals untapped trade ...

Role of ANO1‐Expressing PDGFRα+ Smooth Muscle Cells in Generating Spontaneous Phasic Contractions of the Rodent Epididymis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Spontaneous phasic contractions (SPCs) in the epididymal duct play an important role in transport and maturation of sperm. In proximal cauda of the rat epididymis, platelet‐derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα)‐positive smooth muscle cells (SMCs) generate ANO1 Ca2+‐activated chloride channels (CaCCs)‐dependent spontaneous ...
