Alabama (AL) is a hotspot in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) for human interaction-related cetacean strandings, including harassment, vessel strikes, and fisheries interactions. We examined four bottlenose dolphins () stranded dead along the AL coast during 2012-2017 with severed peduncles suspected to be related to human interaction (HI). Evidence from each case, including photographs, gross necropsy results, and histopathologic findings when available, was reviewed to determine the mode of severance and whether it contributed to death.

Lesions were assessed in relation to fish species, lake type and location, season and collection year, and lake water chemistry parameters. Fish included bullheads ( = 98), common carp ( = 99), bluegill ( = 114), and largemouth bass ( = 118).

- A prior study found that soybean fields double-cropped with winter wheat had fewer soybean cyst nematodes (SCN) than fallow fields.
- A follow-up investigation used metagenomics and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) to analyze soil chemical profiles and discovered 51 compounds, some identified as having potential nematicidal properties.
- The research suggests that the reduction in SCN populations in these double-cropped fields results from a combination of enriched microbial communities, more beneficial organisms, and higher concentrations of nematicidal compounds, marking a novel approach in soil chemical profiling for SCN suppression.
As part of the collaborative efforts and goals of managing zoo-housed Goeldi's monkeys, or callimicos (), a retrospective review of gross and histopathological postmortem examination reports submitted to the International Studbook Coordinator was carried out by veterinary representatives of the Species Survival Plan to investigate disease trends. A total of 1,887 postmortem reports (1965-2018) collected from more than 150 institutions were reviewed. Histologic findings from 862 postmortem reports and primary causes of mortality were compiled to determine the most common findings.

They were composed of neoplastic round to spindle-shaped cells, positive for vimentin, Iba-1, lysozyme, and Mac387, consistent with histiocytic sarcoma. One manatee also had an undifferentiated sarcoma that may have arisen from the histiocytic sarcoma.
