Cumulative heatwave stress disrupts thermal homeostasis and plumage structure in a Mediterranean passerine

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1960-1978, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent across the Mediterranean and pose critical challenges for small passerines, yet the physiological and morphological limits to their resilience remain poorly understood.

Beyond first clutches: Second broods reshape selection on breeding timing in forest and urban great tits

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1163-1177, July 2026.
Most studies of selection on breeding timing consider only first clutches. Using a 13‐year dataset of urban and forest great tits, we show that including second broods reshapes estimates of natural selection, revealing that early breeding is favoured through increased probability of multiple brooding and higher annual reproductive output.

Needle bevel orientation does not affect diffusion of contrast medium during perineural injection of the lateral palmar/plantar nerve and lateral palmar metacarpal/plantar metatarsal nerves

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 7, Page e456-e463, July 2026.
Summary Background Perineural anaesthesia is used to localise pain in horses presenting with lameness. Diffusion of local anaesthetics during perineural analgesia complicates clinical interpretation. Needle bevel orientation has been shown to affect drug diffusion in humans.

Lateromedial and oblique radiographs detect most fetlock pathologies as effectively as a full series in horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 4, Page 934-945, July 2026.
Abstract Background Radiographic protocols for the metacarpo‐/tarsophalangeal joint during pre‐purchase examinations (PPE) vary internationally, but their impact on pathology detection remains unclear. Optimising imaging protocols is essential to balance diagnostic accuracy with workflow efficiency and radiation exposure.

Behavioural and fitness effects of experimental immune activation during incubation in a wild passerine

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 934-949, July 2026.
Incubation is vital for avian embryo development but demands significant parental investment, potentially at the cost of self‐maintenance and immune function. For example, the acute phase response (APR), a systemic reaction against inflammation, infection or tissue injury, can trigger sickness behaviours such as reduced activity and foraging.

Little devils of Neotropical forests: A first molecular phylogeny of stygnid harvestmen with UCE‐museomics and a gigamatrix approach (Arachnida, Opiliones, Stygnidae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
First family‐wide phylogenomic framework of Stygnidae using UCE‐museomics and a gigamatrix approach establishes a novel three‐subfamily classification, erecting the new subfamily Auraninae subfam. nov. Signatures of severe incomplete lineage sorting and short deep internodes suggest a rapid early‐burst Neotropical radiation, driving phylogenetic ...
