Haematology and biochemistry parameters for koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) on Raymond Island, Victoria: use of point‐of‐care analysers

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Biochemistry and haematology analytes can provide information on the health status of individual animals or populations in direct comparison to expected values or reference intervals developed using the same analysis methodology from a healthy reference population of the target species. Point‐of‐care analysers are increasingly used in the assessment of

Ecological variability of Hippopotamus antiquus from the late Early–Middle Pleistocene of Megalopolis Basin (Greece): Evidence for dynamic habitats in a glacial microrefugium

Boreas, EarlyView.
This study investigates the ecology of the extinct European Hippopotamus from the late Early–Middle Pleistocene (c. 900–400 ka) sequence of the Megalopolis Basin, a glacial microrefugium for temperate taxa in southern Greece. Using stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope analyses and microwear analyses of Hippopotamus dental elements, we ...

Exploring pangolin rehabilitation practices and challenges in Africa and Asia

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Wildlife rehabilitation is often overlooked in conservation. Pangolins rescued from wildlife trade, vehicle collisions, habitat destruction, and other human‐induced threats are sent to rehabilitation centers for recovery and release. This study provides baseline information on the rehabilitation of pangolins across Africa and Asia while simultaneously ...

Animal Teachers: Nonhuman Pedagogy and the Question of Deceit

Educational Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract Animals as “teachers” of human children and adults is a recurring theme in children's literature, in anthropological accounts of “feral children,” as well as in contemporary practices of animal‐assisted pedagogy, philosophical research, wildlife documentaries, and popular culture.

Blacklegged Ticks, Ixodes scapularis, Respond to Sex‐Attractant Semiochemicals of Male Deer Mice, Peromyscus maniculatus

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Ticks are obligate ectoparasites that blood‐feed on a variety of vertebrate hosts including rodents such as deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus bairdii. Female blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis—but not female lone star ticks, Amblyomma americanum, or American dog ticks, Dermacentor variabilis—were attracted to urine‐ and feces‐soiled bedding of male ...

Corpses as Repositories of Information and Funerals as Information Centres: Why Natural Selection Favours the Bereaved

Ethology, EarlyView.
Corpses are repositories of information about the cause of death. The distress of the bereaved acts as an honest signal drawing conspecifics to the body, enabling them to learn quickly about the death, adapt their behaviour, and spread knowledge of threats across multiple social levels.

Bringing Gene Therapy Into Real World Clinical Practice

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adeno‐associated virus (AAV)‐based gene therapy for haemophilia has shifted therapeutic paradigms by enabling hepatic gene transfer, restoring endogenous clotting factor expression, and reducing reliance on conventional prophylactic treatments. Two products, valoctocogene roxaparvovec (haemophilia A) and etranacogene dezaparvovec (

Ineffectiveness of permethrin in human scabies treatment: A multicenter study of kdr gene mutations

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Permethrin treatment failure in scabies is an increasing challenge to public health. A multicentre molecular analysis identified kdr mutations (M918L, G733D, S916S) in 55.5% of cases, which correlated with clinical treatment failure. These findings underscore the need for molecular surveillance and alternative therapies to improve scabies management ...
