Use of Restricted Nursing and a Bovine Appeasing Substance on the Welfare, Growth Performance, and Response to Vaccination of Beef Calves at Weaning

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 314-321, August 2026.
The effects of restricted nursing (RN) and the administration of a bovine appeasing substance (BAS) on days −8 and 0 in relation to weaning were evaluated. Both strategies were effective in improving the growth performance of beef calves. Regarding welfare, BAS ‐especially on day 0‐ was more effective than RN.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1851-1862, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Dicentrine, an Aporphine Alkaloid From Ocotea langsdorffii, Induces Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Oxidative Stress in Leishmania (L.) infantum

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dicentrine, an aporphine alkaloid, exhibits potent in vitro antileishmanial activity against Leishmania species with high selectivity and low macrophage cytotoxicity. Mechanistic studies reveal that the compound triggers parasite death possibly by inducing mitochondrial membrane disruption and oxidative stress.

Home Range and Habitat Selection of the Endangered Red Goshawk (Erythrotriorchis radiatus) Across Australia's Tropical Savannas

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We used long‐term GPS tracking to quantify home‐range size and habitat selection of the endangered Red Goshawk across tropical savannas of northern Australia. Red Goshawks occupied extensive overall home ranges, with well‐defined core ranges centred on nest sites.

Living in the Pyrocene: Assemblage‐Wide Terrestrial Vertebrate Responses to Mega‐Fires in the Pantanal Wetlands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
More than 60% of Serra do Amolar within the Pantanal Wetlands, Brazil, was burned in 2020. Nine vertebrate species showed a dependency on forest areas, which are more vulnerable to fires in this region, despite the fire not having shown a direct effect on the occupation.

Species Extirpation and Colonization Reveal Mixed Homogenization and Differentiation Across Terrestrial Taxa After One of the World's Largest Tailings Dam Failures

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fundão tailings‐dam failure (2015)—study area and impact gradient. Regional maps locate the Rio Doce Basin in southeastern Brazil and the Fundão dam (red cross), with the black rectangle marking the extent of the main map. The main map follows the downstream tailings pathway along the river corridor (plume highlight).

Climate and Edaphic Factors Partly Explain Leaf Litterfall Rates of Species From Tropical Semi‐Deciduous Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Semi‐deciduous ecosystems have short leaf‐shedding periods, making carbon cycling and litterfall patterns difficult to study. This study compiled data from 31 global sites and used regression models to examine how climate and soil factors influence leaf litterfall rates.

The role of precipitation and host assemblage composition in shaping bat–bat fly network structure

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Climatic seasonality plays an important role in shaping ecological interactions, including those between bats and their ectoparasitic bat flies. Although previous studies have acknowledged the influence of climate on the structure of bat–bat fly interaction networks, the existence of biogeographical patterns driven by climatic seasonality ...
