- * Using data from the National Ecological Observatory Network, the study focused on white-footed mice and found that individual factors such as sex, body mass, and reproductive status affected tick parasitism, with varying effects depending on the tick life stage.
- * The research revealed that mouse movement behavior correlated with tick carrying rates, indicating that variations in host mobility could influence host-parasite encounters and potentially modify zoonotic disease risk due to changes in the environment and human activities.
Seeds and seedlings are particularly vulnerable to herbivory. Unlike mature plants, which can wait until herbivory is experienced to induce defense, seeds and seedlings face mortality if they wait. Slug mucus functions as a kairomone, a non-attack-related substance emitted by consumers that is detected by a prey species (in this case, plants).

- * The use of videolaryngoscopes has been shown to improve success rates in this procedure, leading to their growing adoption in international guidelines despite underuse in practice.
- * Barriers such as training gaps, fears about losing skills in direct laryngoscopy, and costs hinder widespread adoption, but ongoing research and new techniques are encouraging better integration of videolaryngoscopy in routine care.
