Jannik Martens, Birgit Wild, Francesco Muschitiello, Matt O'Regan, Martin Jakobsson, Igor Semiletov, Oleg V Dudarev, Örjan Gustafsson
Oct 20, 2020
Carbon cycle models suggest that past warming events in the Arctic may have caused large-scale permafrost thaw and carbon remobilization, thus affecting atmospheric CO2 levels. However, observational records are sparse...
Wild Apparel: A Sustainable Clothing Line
Jogvan Andreas A. Jacobsen
Jan 01, 0001
The fashion industry has increasingly contributed to environmental waste through production and distrubution of crops, fibers, and garments that are dumped every day, polluting our water, soil, and air. My sustainable clothing...

Copy Number and Prevalence of Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs) in German Wild Boars.
Luise Krüger, Milena Stillfried, Carolin Prinz, Vanessa Schröder, Lena Katharina Neubert, Joachim Denner
Apr 09, 2020
Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of pigs and are transmitted like cellular genes from parents to the offspring. Whereas PERV-A and PERV-B are present in all pigs, PERV-C was found to be in...
Structural Classification of Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) Vocalizations.
Maxime Garcia, Bruno Gingras, Daniel L Bowling, Christian T Herbst, Markus Boeckle, Yann Locatelli, W Tecumseh Fitch
Feb 06, 2019
Determining whether a species' vocal communication system is graded or discrete requires definition of its vocal repertoire. In this context, research on domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) vocalizations, for example, has led...

Untangling the oxidative cost of reproduction
Magali Meniri, Elsa Evans, Faye J Thompson, Harry H Marshall, Hazel J Nichols, Gina Lewis, Lauren Holt, Emma Davey, Christopher Mitchell, Rufus A Johnstone, Michael A Cant, Jonathan D Blount
Mar 08, 2022
The cost of reproduction plays a central role in evolutionary theory, but the identity of the underlying mechanisms remains a puzzle. Oxidative stress has been hypothesized to be a proximate mechanism that may explain the cost...

Feb 11, 2021
BACKGROUND: Hybridisation and introgression play key roles in the evolutionary history of animal species. They are commonly observed within several orders in wild birds. The domestic chicken Gallus gallus domesticus is the most...
Mortality cost of sex-specific parasitism in wild bird populations
Jose O. Valdebenito, András Liker, Naerhulan Halimubieke, Jordi Figuerola, Tamas Szekely
Dec 02, 2020
Sex-specific mortality is frequent in animals although the causes of different male versus female mortalities remain poorly understood. Parasitism is ubiquitous in nature with widespread detrimental effects to hosts, making...
Urban Forest Justice and the Rights to Wild Foods, Medicines, and Materials in the City
Urban forests are multifunctional socio-ecological landscapes, yet some of their social benefits remain poorly understood. This paper draws on ethnographic evidence from Seattle, Washington to demonstrate that urban forests...

DNA recovery from wild chimpanzee tools.
Fiona A Stewart, Alexander K Piel, Lydia Luncz, Joanna Osborn, Yingying Li, Beatrice H Hahn, Michael Haslam
May 23, 2018
Most of our knowledge of wild chimpanzee behaviour stems from fewer than 10 long-term field sites. This bias limits studies to a potentially unrepresentative set of communities known to show great behavioural diversity on small...
Male New Zealand robins (Petroica longipes) cater to their mate's desire when sharing food in the wild.
In many species that have bi-parental care, food-sharing males provide vital nutritional resources to their mates during reproduction. However, it is currently unknown whether females can signal specific desires to their mates...
Avian Influenza Viruses in Wild Birds
Divya Venkatesh, Marjolein J Poen, Theo M Bestebroer, Rachel D Scheuer, Oanh Vuong, Mzia Chkhaidze, Anna Machablishvili, Jimsher Mamuchadze, Levan Ninua, Nadia B Fedorova, Rebecca A Halpin, Xudong Lin, Amy Ransier, Timothy B Stockwell, David E Wentworth, Divya Kriti, Jayeeta Dutta, Harm van Bakel, Anita Puranik, Marek J Slomka, Steve Essen, Ian H Brown, Ron AM Fouchier, Nicola S Lewis
Oct 03, 2018
Wild ducks and gulls are the major reservoirs for avian influenza A viruses (AIVs). The mechanisms that drive AIV evolution are complex at sites where various duck and gull species from multiple flyways breed, winter, or stage....
