We document repeated surplus killing events by pumas (Puma concolor) affecting breeding colonies of Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) in Islote Lobos National Park, northern Patagonia, Argentina. During the 2025–2026 breeding season, at least 961 penguins were killed, representing the largest natural mortality event recorded in the colony ...

This study demonstrates that optimizing sampling design is more important than selecting a specific sampling method, and that different airborne eDNA collection approaches should be viewed as complementary tools suited to different field contexts. We propose that car mounted air DNA sampling could be an effective method for large spatial scale, rapid ...

Built it, but did they come? Monitoring winter feeding station use by endangered long‐tailed gorals
Emergency feeding stations successfully supported endangered long‐tailed gorals during severe winter weather, with high utilization driven by snow depth. Because localized feed depletion triggered intraspecific conflict, managers should implement spatially dispersed feeding networks to optimize survival interventions for vulnerable populations ...

Long‐term repeated immunisation against GnRH resulted in the absence of active spermatogenesis and may lead to irreversible infertility in dwarf bucks and baboons. Histological examination revealed a marked reduction of the seminiferous tubular lumen, complete depletion of germ cells, germ cell vacuolization and tubular hyalinization.

No Trace of Blastocystis Parasite in Bats Caught in the Western and Southwestern Regions of Iran
Despite screening 115 bats across four dominant species (Miniopterus pallidus, Myotis blythii, Rhinopoma microphyllum, and Rhinolophus euryale) from five caves in western and southwestern Iran using PCR, no evidence of Blastocystis infection was found, suggesting these bats are not current reservoirs for this parasite in this region.
