Effects of Roscovitine and Serum Starvation on the Viability and G0/G1 Synchronization in Somatic Cells from the Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus, Linnaeus 1758)

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The success of nuclear reprogramming techniques, including the G0/G1 synchronization of somatic cells, depends on species‐specific optimization. While roscovitine and serum starvation have been successfully applied in domestic and wild terrestrial mammals, their use in aquatic mammals remains poorly investigated.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Exploring consumer preferences for wild meat and other animal proteins in Gamba, Gabon: Implications for conservation and management of natural resources alongside extractive industry

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3345-3357, October 2026.
Abstract The town of Gamba in southwest Gabon represents an exceptional example of how the development of an extractive industry (in this case oil production) may impact wild meat consumption in an area of global importance for biodiversity. Studies in the 1990s identified an active wild meat trade; however, no studies have been undertaken since, and ...

Advancing Marine Mammal Conservation Through Omics Tools and Integration of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation of biodiversity is a global priority as human‐driven pressures continue to intensify and alter ecosystems worldwide. Marine mammals are vulnerable species, facing numerous escalating anthropogenic threats. Here, we evaluate how, as omics technologies become more accessible and affordable, established and emerging tools are ...
