Epidemiological Investigations of Four Cowpox Virus Outbreaks in Alpaca Herds, Germany

Viruses, 2017
Four cowpox virus (CPXV) outbreaks occurred in unrelated alpaca herds in Eastern Germany during 2012–2017. All incidents were initially noticed due to severe, generalized, and finally lethal CPXV infections, which were confirmed by testing of tissue and ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making. ABSTRACT Introduction Interactions

Dehnel's Phenomenon in Mammals

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Some small mammals, which remain active year‐round, undergo reversible reductions in body size, braincase height, and the mass of internal organs, including the brain, from summer to winter. It is called Dehnel's phenomenon. In this review, we summarise knowledge of the mechanisms, adaptive value, and genetic basis of the phenomenon, and show how new ...

Personality Matters: Owner‐Ascribed Personality Predicts Range Size Tendencies and Predation Behavior in Domestic Cats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Free‐ranging domestic cats (Felis catus) can impact wildlife through predation and landscape of fear. We monitored 23 suburban cats south of Paris using GPS collars and animal‐borne cameras and assessed personality traits via owner questionnaires.

Use of chlorophacinone in the struggle against the common vole (Microtus arvalis Pallas) and against the muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus L.) [PDF]

, 1974
Use of the anticoagulant rodenticide chlorophacinone was largely developed in France during the past decade. Laboratory and field trials of this compound’s development for control of the common vole (Microtus arvalis) and the introduced muskrat (Ondatra ...

Comprehensive Sampling Across Seasons and Habitats Revealed the Composition and Functional Attributes of Gut Microbiota Enterotypes in Subterranean Rodents

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The gut microbiota of Gansu zokor is classified into two enterotypes, which exhibit distinct seasonal and habitat distributions, microbial diversity, and community compositions dominated by different Bacillota‐to‐Bacteroidota ratios. These enterotypes correlate with host body size and are characterized by unique probiotic and pathogenic biomarkers ...
