Eimeria gazella Musaev, 1970 is redescribed for the first time from the feces of 3 of 6 Arabian gazelles, Gazella gazella arabica from the Riyadh Zoo in Saudi Arabia. Oocyst measurements were similar to those reported previously from the goitered gazelle, Gazella subgutturosa, in Kazakhstan (USSR). Except for our observation of many small polar granules, and Stieda body, oocyst morphology was identical to the original description of E. gazella.

Despite the diverse nature of obesity, there is compelling genetic, clinical, and experimental evidence that endorses the important contribution of brain circuits to this condition. The hypothalamus contains major regulatory circuits for bodyweight homoeostasis, the deregulation of which can lead to obesity. Although functional perturbation of hypothalamic pathways could lie at the basis of common forms of obesity, the term hypothalamic obesity has been created to define those rare forms of severe obesity where a clear hypothalamic substrate can be identified, either of genetic or acquired origin.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the African dung beetle, introduced to Australia in 1968 for biological control, focusing on its genetic and morphological changes across different regions of the continent.
- - Analysis of 1594 SNP loci from 187 beetle samples indicated significant genetic differences between populations and limited gene flow over distances of 74-500 km.
- - The fore tibia shape of the beetles, important for their tunneling behavior, showed notable differences among populations, suggesting that local adaptation and directional selection are influencing these variations despite genetic similarities.
Effects of multiple mammalian herbivores and climate on grassland-shrubland transitions in the Chihuahuan Desert.

The replacement of grasses by shrubs or bare ground (xerification) is a primary form of landscape change in drylands globally with consequences for ecosystem services. The potential for wild herbivores to trigger or reinforce shrubland states may be underappreciated, however, and comparative analyses across herbivore taxa are sparse. We sought to clarify the relative effects of domestic cattle, native rodents, native lagomorphs, and exotic African oryx (Oryx gazella) on a Chihuahuan Desert grassland undergoing shrub encroachment.

Cattle ranching is an economic activity responsible for the loss of large extensions of tropical dry forest around the world. Several studies have demonstrated that the use of inadequate practices of this activity in tropical forests (e.g.

Article Synopsis
- - The genome sequence of a bacterium strain, EG35, was obtained from an octocoral off Portugal's coast.
- - The analysis showed that this strain has the genetic potential to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates, which are biodegradable materials suitable for bioplastics.
- - Additionally, the strain can synthesize various communication signals and possibly four new natural products.
