Introduction The distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) plays a crucial role in the function of the hoof and digit. Dislocations and subluxations in this region are rare and primarily of traumatic origin. Case Report This case report aims to describe two unusual cases of open DIPJ dislocation, including clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, treatment, and long-term follow-up. Both animals presented with open traumatic distal...

Winery wastewater contains readily biodegradable organic matter, but some of its components can inhibit anaerobic microbial activity. This study compares two enriched microbial consortia, derived from anaerobic digester sludge (ADS) and mining-process wastewater (MPW), exposed to alcohols, carboxylic acids, and phenolics. Assays were conducted in acetate–fumarate-based media containing low or high concentrations of each compou...

Summary Despite the ongoing intensive efforts on disentangling the diversity of the genus Carex (Cyperaceae) in South America, there is much still to be accomplished. In this note we studied collections from some of the main South American and North American herbaria, new field collections, and observations from the citizen platform iNaturalist, to report chorological, nomenclatural, and taxonomic notes for 16 South American C...

Human‐induced high densities of large wild herbivores may pose a threat to natural ecosystems, modifying biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Although the negative impacts on individual taxa and processes are well documented, a comprehensive understanding of how ecosystem integrity responds to high herbivore densities remains limited. This study addresses this gap through an extensive herbivore‐density manipulation experime...

Forests are at the frontline of both climate and biodiversity crises: forests are fundamental to the regulation of Earth's atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, and tropical forests alone harbour over half of all terrestrial species. Consequently, forests are at the centre of global efforts to both prevent extinctions of species and sequester carbon to mitigate climate change. Most carbon sequestration initiatives do not measure...

Aim Microbiome rewilding seeks to harness plant‐microbe interactions for sustainable agriculture, assuming that ancestral microbial partners have been lost during domestication and geographical spread. Designing microbiome rewilding strategies requires a quantitative and predictive understanding of the fundamental ecological processes—selection, dispersal, and drift—driving microbial assembly and persistence in the rhizosphere...

Migratory bird distributions are inherently dynamic and vary with seasons, but are also increasingly influenced by climate and land-use changes. Understanding these shifts is crucial for interpreting ecosystem dynamics and guiding future conservation efforts. In this study, we analysed 187,779 resightings (1985–2021) of 5,120 colour-banded Common Cranes ( Grus grus ), originating from 8 northern European countries, to examine...
