Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study documented gastrointestinal parasitic infections in captive venomous and non‐venomous snakes in Bangladesh for the first time, finding an overall prevalence of 39.1%, with helminths more common than protozoa. Non‐venomous snakes and juveniles were most susceptible, while controlled terrarium housing reduced risk, highlighting the need for ...

Why we age

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Resource management as a conservation tool to impact genetic diversity through mating patterns in wild populations

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract The distribution of resources influences interactions in wild populations by affecting movement, space‐use patterns, and, as a result, mating systems. Limited resources may reduce encounters between potential breeders, reducing the number and variety of individuals contributing to the population's gene pool.

ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans‐Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Short‐Term Puzzle Feeder Enrichment Increases Food Engagement but Not Stress‐Related Behaviour in Captive Golden‐Headed Lion Tamarins

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Food puzzles significantly increased food engagement time in captive golden‐headed lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysomelas), with individuals spending three times longer foraging compared to standard food bowls. Grooming and activity levels showed no short‐term changes, though patterns varied across enclosures. These findings highlight puzzle feeders
