Leporacarus gibbus mite was found in a domestic rabbit in Espírito Santo, Brazil, for the first time.
research Circulating testosterone and feather-gene expression of receptors and metabolic enzymes in relation to melanin-based colouration in the barn owl
Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.
research Pelage and molt in the black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus (Rafinesque))
Black-tailed deer have four types of pelages and molt twice a year.
research The regeneration of caudal epidermal specializations inLygodactylus picturatus keniensis (gekkonidae, Lacertilia)
Lizards can regrow their tail scales with the same structure, distribution, and gender-specific features as the original ones, and this unique ability is not seen in adult mammals.
research Tributyltin (TBT) effects on Ocinebrina aciculata (Gastropoda: Muricidae): imposex development, sterilization, sex change and population decline
Tributyltin exposure causes sex changes, sterilization, and decline in the snail Ocinebrina aciculata, risking its extinction.

research Fleece traits and important physical properties of hair fibers in lori goats.
Adding bentonite clays to goat diets increased milk yield, periwinkle shell improved chicken egg production, and vaccination increased muscle area and carcass yield in calves.
research Wild geladas (Theropithecus gelada) in crops—more than in pasture areas—reduce aggression and affiliation
Wild geladas in crop areas show less grooming and aggression.
research Diversity of vibrissal follicle anatomy in cetaceans
Different whale and dolphin species have unique whisker follicle structures, suggesting they might use their whiskers in various ways.
research Sexually dimorphic sail feathers in the Mandarin duck as a model for lifelong developmental modulation
Mandarin duck sail feathers change with seasons due to hormones and genetic regulation.
