The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans
We take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the evolutionary correlates of sociality in feliform (cat‐like) carnivores. We find that sociality evolved eight times in this group of mammals, and that it is associated with ecologies that facilitate group cohesion (e.g. diurnality and open habitats) and also that should reduce competition (e.

Elevation, rather than land use, causes important dietary shifts in the Mediterranean golden eagle
In an ever‐changing landscape, golden eagles in the Iberian Peninsula demonstrate remarkable dietary adaptability. We monitored 50 distinct breeding events over 4 years using camera traps, collecting over 520 000 images. Elevation, rather than land use, emerged as the main driver of prey composition: lagomorphs and columbiforms dominated at lower ...

Abstract Gas flaring is a common practice for burning excessive gas during oil and gas production. Flaring results in the release of various pollutants that contribute to climate change. In the Arctic, black carbon emissions released from flaring, in and near the region, contribute to local warming.

ABSTRACT Introduction Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are responsible for respiratory infections in a wide range of species, including birds, swine and humans. The role of wild boar (Sus scrofa) in IAV epidemiology remains underexplored. Here, we present a longitudinal serologic and virologic surveillance study of wild boars in Spain from 2015 to 2023 ...

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

ABSTRACT Impact pathway diagrams based on conceptual ecological modelling are an important tool for identifying where effective conservation strategies can be designed and targeted to mitigate the impacts of an invasive species on a native species. These are particularly useful when the eradication of the invasive species may not be possible.

The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial, endemic to Tasmania, that is threatened by a transmissionable cancer. This paper introduces a novel method to incorporate multiple measures of devil size and development to estimate age, using Bayesian parallel regression to integrate multiple regression relationships into predictions. The method provides

Polychaetes Aquaculture: Global Successes and Opportunities for Development in Latin America
A systematic review, conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, synthesises global advances in polychaetes aquaculture and evaluates their implications for sustainable development in Latin America. Evidence from leading producer countries shows that there are many different applications in areas such as aquafeed and bioremediators (IMTA ...
