Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 7, Page 710-718, August 2026.ABSTRACT Seasonal photoperiodic cycles regulate energy rheostasis in many animals. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and the liver are key metabolic organs that show remarkable plasticity in response to photoperiodic conditions. Prolactin (PRL) and thyroid hormones are endocrine signals that transmit neural‐derived photoperiodic time measurement encoding to ...

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.Abstract Abdominal hernias in bats are rarely reported in the literature, with most reports evaluating postmortem findings. The present study documents successful surgical management of post‐traumatic abdominal hernias in three vespertilionid bats. Three injured bats (two Nyctalus noctula and one Eptesicus serotinus) were admitted for veterinary care ...

Consciousness in hibernation and synthetic torpor
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2017 While human hibernation would provide many advantages for medical applications and space exploration, the intrinsic risks of the procedure itself, as well as those involved if the procedure were to be misused, need to be assessed. Moreover, the distinctive brain state that is present during a hibernation-like state raises questions regarding the state ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Periodic flooding is an intrinsic feature of floodplain ecosystems. The 2022–23 Murray River flood, the largest flood event in almost 70 years, inundated extensive floodplain areas on Calperum Station, South Australia. This depauperate vertebrate fauna community is the focus of restoration activities, including woody debris addition to ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Climate change has become one of the main drivers of species extinctions in the Anthropocene and its impact is only expected to increase. This presents an immediate problem for the conservation of Malagasy endemics, as the island is expected to be particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change, the degree of which is expected to

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.Climate change is increasingly impacting arboreal mammals, yet these effects vary across regions and taxa, and global syntheses to inform conservation priorities remain limited. This study presents the first global synthesis of climate change impacts on arboreal mammals using a systematic review, meta‐analysis, and bibliometric analysis.
