Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

Myostatin Exhibits an Evolutionarily Conserved Circadian Pattern in Skeletal Muscles

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Myostatin (MSTN), a transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) superfamily member, is an evolutionarily conserved negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass. Loss of MSTN commonly promotes augmentation in skeletal muscle mass in all animal species examined.

Next‐Generation Therapies for Gastrointestinal Repair: Converging Traditional Medicine and Tissue Engineering

JGH Open, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays a vital role in regulating metabolic pathways, nutrient absorption, and cellular homeostasis. Abnormalities in the GI tract often arise from unhealthy lifestyles, genetic mutations, and prolonged medication use, leading to disorders such as ulcers, cirrhosis, and malignancies.

Nectar concentrations of biogenic amines affect bumble bee behavior in a dose‐dependent manner

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
While foraging, pollinators encounter a wide array of molecules, some of which may influence their internal states and behaviors. Among these, biogenic amines – nitrogenous compounds that serve as essential neuromodulators in animals – have only recently been detected in floral nectar.

Resolution of a persistent pneumothorax by blood patch pleurodesis in a cat (Felis catus) with primary pulmonary lymphoma

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract An 18‐year‐old, spayed, female, domestic shorthair cat was presented to our hospital with acute dyspnoea following an episode of vomiting. Thoracic radiography revealed a severe pneumothorax. Despite multiple thoracocenteses, the pneumothorax persisted. Under general anaesthesia, computed tomography revealed multiple pulmonary masses.

Estimating the ecological drivers of insect abundance when detection is imperfect

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2641-2654, December 2025.
Using a field‐based mark–recapture approach, the authors demonstrate that habitat quality can simultaneously influence insect abundance and detection. Simulation also showed that prioritizing increased sampling intensity over adding more study sites can improve accuracy of standard modelling approaches including GLMs or GLMMs, which do not account for ...

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 12, Page 781-889, December 2025.
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.
