Evidence of three distinct lactation stages in nursing gazelles: Implications on maternal behaviour assessment

Pavlo Fiialkovskyi et al.

Summary: Studying suckling behaviour provides insights into parent-offspring conflict in mammals, but this information is often reported as a by-product of studying other types of suckling behaviour. This study analyzed filial suckling bouts to understand the decision-making process and found three distinctive behavioural stages in dorcas gazelles during the lactation period. Additionally, there was evidence of male-biased maternal investment and a compensational mechanism for different birth seasons.

Quantifying the impact of heat on human physical work capacity; part II: the observed interaction of air velocity with temperature, humidity, sweat rate, and clothing is not captured by most heat stress indices

Josh Foster et al.

Summary: The impact of increased air movement on alleviating or exacerbating occupational heat strain varies widely depending on air temperature, humidity levels, and clothing worn. Fans are found to be ineffective when air temperature is above 35 degrees Celsius and potentially harmful when relative humidity is below 50%. High wind speeds/fans can be either beneficial or harmful in different climates, with considerations for heat acclimation, age, and wind speed.

Wind of change: a diurnal skink thermoregulates between cooler set-points and for an increased amount of time in the presence of wind

Summary: Wind has a significant impact on the thermoregulation of heliothermic reptiles, altering their preferred body temperature and increasing the duration of thermoregulation, even when equivalent temperatures are available.

Addicted to the moon: vocal output and diel pattern of vocal activity in two Neotropical nightjars is related to moon phase

Cristian Perez-Granados et al.

Summary: The study found that moonlight stimulates the vocal activity of Neotropical nightjars, with significantly higher vocal output during full moon nights. There were differences in the proportion of calling activity at different times of the night between the two species, potentially due to the lower vocal output at midnight during full moon nights. The impact of moonlight on vocal behavior may vary between species and at different times of the night.

Dam parity and calf sex affect maternal and neonatal behaviors during the first week postpartum in stabled Maghrebi dairy camels

I Hammadi et al.

Summary: The commercialization of dromedary milk and intensive rearing systems worldwide are impacting the behavioral repertoires and welfare of animals. This study found that primiparous camels have longer birth duration compared to multiparous camels, and neonatal behavior is influenced by calf sex.

Summary: This study explored the impact of lunar phases on the reproductive performance of tropical crossbred cows. The first service conception rate was influenced by lunar phases and predominant breed, while other reproductive traits showed a significant lunar effect with a clear bimodal rhythm.

Melatonin-dependent changes in neurosteroids are associated with increased aggression in a seasonally breeding rodent

Kathleen M. Munley et al.

Summary: The study investigates how melatonin regulates neurosteroid levels and aggressive behavior in seasonal aggression. It found that Siberian hamsters housed in different photoperiods and given timed melatonin injections displayed changes in aggressive behavior and neurosteroid levels. Melatonin was shown to reduce neurosteroid levels and elevate aggressive behavior in the hamsters.

A tool for functional selection of leisure camels: Behaviour breeding criteria may ensure long-term sustainability of a European unique breed

Carlos Iglesias Pastrana et al.

Summary: Livestock selection for desirable temperament traits, particularly in minor productive species such as camels, is often overlooked. The current major functionality for Canarian dromedary camels is limited to tourism-oriented interactive experiences. Selective breeding programmes focusing on behavioural functional traits are crucial for the conservation of this endemic breed.

Sex-Specific Survival, Growth, Immunity and Organ Development in Preterm Pigs as Models for Immature Newborns

Ole Baek et al.

Summary: The study found that male preterm piglets have lower early survival rates than females, lighter immune responses, slower body and organ growth rates, higher white blood cell counts, and reduced kidney growth later on. However, the performance of intestines, function and brain function was similar between the sexes.

Fresh start after rough rides: understanding patterns of genetic differentiation upon human-mediated translocations

Melanie Jany Heckwolf et al.

Summary: Biological invasions through translocations exemplify the impact of globalization on species distributions. Human-mediated transport allows species to establish populations in previously unreachable ecosystems, resulting in discontinuous species distributions. Non-native populations with a single and intentional translocation tend to have reduced differentiation, suggesting human actions play a role in reshaping genetic variance in non-native ranges.

The influence of lunar cycle at the time of conception on sex offspring distribution in dogs

Daniela Alberghina et al.

Summary: The study found that season did not affect the sex offspring distribution of dogs, but lunar phase had a significant impact, with the new moon phase being associated with a lower male sex ratio at birth. Further research on additional factors is needed to better understand the differences in sex ratio distribution observed during lunar cycles.
