Moonlight Duration and Intensity Favour Nocturnal Activity in a Diurnal Desert Bird
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 629-641, September 2026.Accelerometer data show that Canarian houbara bustards increase nocturnal activity two‐ to fivefold when the moon is visible, with activity rising as moonlit duration and illumination increase. Both display and non‐display behaviours peaked around full moon, reaching up to half of peak daytime levels, with males increasing visual displays during ...

Descriptive epidemiology of long‐term injuries in jump racing Thoroughbreds in Great Britain
Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1228-1239, September 2026.Abstract Background Race‐related injuries in horse racing, especially those requiring extended recovery, are a welfare concern and threaten the sport's social licence. Previous studies predominantly report on fatalities; however, serious non‐fatal musculoskeletal injuries often end horses' racing careers or have a high recurrence risk.

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1505-1517, September 2026.Abstract Background Flexion tests are commonly used in equine locomotion examinations to identify underlying locomotor issues, yet their neuromuscular effects remain poorly understood. Response variability raises concerns about their clinical value in lameness assessments and pre‐purchase evaluations.

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 587-603, September 2026.This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.
