Diet composition of the Red‐billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii) and its role as seed disperser in the Atlantic Forest: conservation insights

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Investigating the efficacy of tidal wetland restoration in enhancing aquatic food web resources for native fishes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Animal Segregation: The Biopolitics of Concentrated Pig Farming

open access: yesTijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores the possibility to think through the concept of animal segregation to understand the more‐than‐human geographies of livestock animals. By redirecting the analytical tools for studying the spatial separation of humans to the segregation of animals, this paper contributes to understanding the geographical processes of ...

Effect of artificial gravity on calcaneal bone marrow adipose tissue and mineral content in female and male participants in 60 days of bed rest

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Modulation of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) with prolonged inactivity was reported in haemopoietic but not in non‐haemopoietic bones. This prospective randomized controlled trial submitted 16 men and 8 women to 60 days of 6° head‐down‐tilt bed rest.

Exercise during 14 days of head down tilt bedrest attenuates motor unit impairments in older humans

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Head‐down tilt bedrest (HDBR) models the effects of mechanical unloading on neuromuscular function. The efficacy of exercise in preserving motor unit (MU) function in older adults during HDBR remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of 14‐day HDBR on MU properties in older adults and the protective role of exercise.

Carbohydrate intake of 10 g/kg body mass rapidly replenishes liver, but not muscle glycogen contents, during 12 h of post‐exercise recovery in well‐trained cyclists

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Exhaustive cycling exercise substantially reduces liver and muscle glycogen stores. During 12 h of post‐exercise recovery without carbohydrate intake, glycogen stores remain depleted. In contrast, when carbohydrate is consumed at 10 g/kg body mass (BM), provided during the first 6 h as sucrose beverages (1.2 g/kg BM/h), liver ...

“I Feel Like I'm Making a Good Difference to the World”: Interviews With Australian Men on Their Motivations to Become Vegan

open access: yesHealth Promotion Journal of Australia, Volume 37, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Australian vegan men face unique societal pressures, cultural norms and expectations of masculinity. Using a phenomenological approach, this semi‐structured interview study explored the dietary motivations of 27 Australian vegan men. Thematic template analysis revealed three themes: (i)Head and Heart Decisions: From Initial Motives to Deepened
