Effect of apnea and food reward on the autonomic modulation of heart rate in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and belugas (Delphinapterus leucas)

The paper measures heart rate and variability in cetaceans during apnea, respiration, and food reward, finding species-specific autonomic responses and validating a non-invasive ECG method.

Dispersal, adaptation and persistence of H5N1 in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica

This study tracks the spread and evolution of H5N1 in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica, revealing long-distance dispersal and mammalian-adaptive mutations.
