Distribution and Host Selection of the Chigger Mite Leptotrombidium rupestre, a Potential Vector of Scrub Typhus, in Southwest China

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
Based on field surveys in southwest China between 2001 and 2022, this paper retrospectively reports the distribution and host selection of L. rupestre in the region for the first time. A total of 4675 L. rupestre were identified from 28 species of small mammal hosts in 23 of 114 survey sites and it was mainly distributed in higher latitudes (31–33° N ...

Latitudinal Variation in the Timing of Nest Predator Activity Is Habitat Specific

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The goal of this work was to investigate whether the community of avian nest predators shifts from nocturnal to diurnal with changes in latitude. This hypothesis was formulated 70 years ago, under the rationale that longer day length during the bird breeding season at high latitudes increases opportunities for visual predators.

Optimizing procedures for ocular radiation injury studies in the tree shrew [PDF]

Exploration of Targeted Anti-tumor Therapy
Radiation exposure to the eye during cancer treatment can lead to ocular radiation injury (ORI), a devastating condition that can have a profound and permanent impact on vision-related quality of life. Rodent models do not have adequate ocular anatomy to

Host and parasite intervality in differentially human‐modified habitats

Oikos, Volume 2024, Issue 12, December 2024.
Host–parasite interactions are influenced by present and past eco‐evolutionary interactions and the local environment. An ecological community defines the potential host range of each parasite and the potential parasite diversity of each host species.

Rhombomere-specific patterns of apoptosis in the tree shrew Tupaia belangeri

Cell and Tissue Research, 2004
Whether rhombomere-specific patterns of apoptosis exist in the developing hindbrain of vertebrates is under debate. We have investigated the sequence of apoptotic events in three-dimensionally reconstructed hindbrains of Tupaia belangeri (8- to 19-somite embryos). Apoptotic cells were identified by structural criteria and by applying an in situ tailing

Factors Affecting Mammalian Occupancy and Species Richness in Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
We used multi‐species occupancy models to camera trap data from central Nepal to estimate mammalian species richness and to understand the influence of environmental covariates on their occupancy. We estimated the mean species richness of ~26 species.
