Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.

Assessing Spatiotemporal Side Effects of Diversionary Feeding on Mesopredators

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We tested whether diversionary feeding alters the space use, aggregation, or activity patterns of mesopredators using a treatment‐control design with camera traps. Although both species frequently used feeding stations, diversionary feeding did not significantly affect their spatial distribution, aggregation, or temporal behaviour.

Weekend Overload: Day‐to‐Day Fluctuations of Outdoor Recreation Affect Wild Mammals' Space‐Use in a Popular Forest Reserve Near Florence, Italy

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an urban‐adjacent forested area, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of the wild mammal community in relation to day‐to‐day fluctuations of human presence occurring between working days and weekends. We deployed 52 camera‐traps systematically within an EU Natura 2000 area located within the metropolitan area of Florence, central ...

Modulating Hunting Atmospheres: Mud and Material Flows Beyond the Kill

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article argues that hunting is not a bounded event but a materially redistributed atmosphere that extends beyond the kill and across field, truck, clothing, and home. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic fieldwork with wild boar hunters in Uruguay, I show how mud, odors, blood, and bodily residues carry the sensory, affective, and material ...

Political Animals: To Live & Die in More‐Than‐Human Worlds

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What does it mean to live—and therefore die—in a more‐than‐human world? This review essay explores that question through reflections on teaching Political Animals: Species, Class, Race, and Gender, an undergraduate course that introduces students to scholarship on human‐nonhuman relations.

Characterization of the Mitochondrial Genome of the Vietnamese Central Highland Wild Boar (Sus scrofa)

Animals
Hybridization between domestic pigs and wild boars of unknown origins has disrupted the precious gene pool of Vietnamese wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations in the Central Highlands. However, the genetic background of Vietnamese wild boars remains largely

Seminal Plasma Exosomal miRNA Profiling Reveals hsa‐miR‐7‐5p as a Key Regulator of Sperm Motility in Asthenozoospermia

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Asthenozoospermia is a significant contributing factor to male infertility. Accumulating evidence indicates that impaired sperm motility is closely linked to dysregulated microRNA expression during spermatogenesis. Seminal plasma exosomes are enriched with diverse microRNAs, which play pivotal roles in modulating sperm motility, the

Phylogenetic Relations and High-Altitude Adaptation in Wild Boar (Sus scrofa), Identified Using Genome-Wide Data

Animals
The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) wild boar is an excellent model for investigating high-altitude adaptation. In this study, we analyzed genome-wide data from 93 wild boars compiled from various studies worldwide, including the QTP, southern and northern ...

Clinical Burden of Symptomatic HEV‐3 Infection in Southern Spain

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Clinical burden of symptomatic HEV‐3 infection in southern Spain. Between 2022 and 2025, 1124 patients with acute hepatitis, defined as ALT ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal and negative screening for HAV, HBV, HCV, EBV and CMV, were evaluated in Andalusia.
