This study shows that social interactions between different rodent species can spread gut microbiota, with stronger transmission from wood mice to yellow-necked mice.

The paper analyzes relationship disparity across 391 animal social networks to show how network structure and biological attributes influence the Friendship Paradox.

This study identifies perineurial cells as integrators of leptin and sympathetic outflow, showing their role in obesity protection through barrier function and beta 2 adrenergic receptor regulation.

The paper examines how local density and ecological factors influence complete brood failure in two sympatric songbirds, finding species-specific density dependence patterns.

This study examines gut microbiota variation in two rodent species across Wytham Woods, finding that local environmental factors have minimal influence compared to biotic factors.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

This paper develops an epigenetic clock using faecal DNA from lab mice to estimate age in wild mice, finding higher methylation and epigenetic age in wild mice compared to lab mice.

This study compares gut microbiota assembly patterns in lab and wild mice, finding conserved age-related diversity and abundance trends despite taxonomic differences.
