The paper studies the population ecology of Trigoniulus corallinus over a year, finding aggregated distribution and correlations between population density, biomass, and environmental factors like temperature and rainfall.

This study examines mating behavior in Chondromorpha severini, finding polygynandrous mating with variation in mating duration and multiple mating preferences.

This paper develops a deep learning method for identifying rodent species from molar teeth images, achieving performance comparable to geometric morphometrics and demonstrating applicability to fossil and archaeological specimens.

The paper surveys zoonotic nematodes in free-ranging non-human primates in Kenyan urban areas, identifying three potentially zoonotic species and reporting co-infections.

The paper assesses pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.l. from Kolokope, Togo, showing high resistance intensity and potential for evaluating next-generation LLINs.

This study shows that limb regeneration in ladybirds affects mating behavior, copulation duration, and fecundity, regardless of body size.

This paper reports the first known natural SARS-CoV-2 transmission from humans to animals in the USA, documenting clinical signs, diagnostic findings, and prolonged fecal RNA shedding in tigers and lions.

This study compares inflammatory and oxidative status between black and white rhinoceroses, finding higher iron levels and oxidative stress markers in black rhinoceroses, possibly linked to Iron Overload Disorder.

The paper describes four new Scopalinida sponge species from Southern California kelp forests, highlighting the region's undercharacterized sponge diversity and the value of SCUBA-based sampling.

This study evaluates three fecal immunoassay technologies for detecting canine Echinococcus infection in China, finding that sensitivity is lower than expected and further development is needed.

This study reconstructs the historical range and decline drivers of the Tapanuli orangutan, showing habitat fragmentation and hunting led to population loss before industrial deforestation.

The paper successfully applies VIE tags to early larval stages of Dendrobates tinctorius tadpoles and reports high tag retention and no adverse effects on growth or survival.

The paper analyzes how bird species descriptions from 1950 to 2019 reflect global power imbalances, finding that species from the Global South are disproportionately named by Global North individuals.

The paper shows that surface feeding behavior in steelhead fry correlates with faster growth in hatchery conditions, suggesting selection for boldness may reduce wild fitness.

The paper identifies hybridization threats to newly discovered tilapia populations and estimates their divergence time using genomic data.

This study demonstrates that high-voltage electrostatic fields can repel mosquitoes effectively, offering a safe, long-lasting alternative to DEET with full-body protection.

This study identifies methyl-substituted phenols as chemostimuli for Ixodes scapularis ticks using single sensillum recordings and GC-SSR, but finds no significant behavioral response to these compounds.

The study examines hindleg weaponry in giant mesquite bugs, finding that female hindleg length exceeds male length, but male hindlegs have greater squeezing performance.

The paper describes a new nematode species, Travassosinema bengalensis, from an Indian millipede and suggests a new method for morphometric data presentation.

This study investigates the sensory systems in the ovipositor of Drosophila suzukii and related species, finding shared and specific sensory receptor expression across species.
