Local genetic adaptation to habitat in wild chimpanzees

This study identifies local genetic adaptation to habitat in wild chimpanzees, particularly to pathogens like malaria, using newly generated exomes.

Towards establishing a 24-hour, microplate-based, transcriptomics assay for rainbow trout embryos

This paper establishes a 24-hour, microplate-based transcriptomics assay for rainbow trout embryos to generate toxicological data efficiently and ethically.

Resource requirements for ecotoxicity testing: A comparison of traditional and new approach methods

This study compares resource requirements of traditional and new approach methods in ecotoxicity testing, finding NAMs are cheaper, use fewer animals, and are faster.

Predicting range shifts of African apes under global change scenarios

The paper predicts future distribution shifts of African apes under climate and land-use change scenarios using ensemble forecasting and occurrence data.

Acute stressors experienced by layer breeders do not affect measures of stress and fear in their offspring

This study tests if maternal stress affects offspring stress and fear responses in layer breeders, finding no effect of acute stressors or corticosterone on offspring measures, but significant strain differences.
