Data for Few studies of wild animal performance account for parasite infections: a systematic review
<p>Data from a systematic review across eight scientific journals publishing primarily studies in animal behaviour and physiology over a 5-year period to assess the proportion of studies which acknowledge, treat or control for parasite infection in their study design and/or analyses. Wild animals have parasites. This inconvenient truth has far-reaching implications for biologists measuring animal performance traits: infection with parasites can alter host behaviour and physiology in profound and sometimes counterintuitive ways. Yet, to what extent do studies on wild animals take individual infection status into account? We explored whether parasite inclusion differed between studies that are experimental versus observational, conducted in the field vs the laboratory and measure behavioural vs physiological traits. We also investigated the importance of other factors such as the journal, the year of publication, the trait category (e.g. locomotion, reproduction) measured, the vertebrate taxonomic group investigated, and the host climatic zone of origin. Our results show that parasite inclusion was generally lacking across recent studies on wild vertebrates. In over 680 filtered papers, we found that only 21.9% acknowledged the potential effects of infections on animal performance in the text, and only 5.1% of studies treated animals for infection (i.e. parasite control) or considered infection status in the statistical analyses (i.e. parasite analysis). Parasite inclusion, control and analysis were higher in laboratory compared to field studies and higher for physiological studies compared to behavioural studies but did not differ among journals, performance trait categories and taxonomic groups. Overall, our literature review suggests that parasites are sorely under-acknowledged by researchers in recent years despite growing evidence that infections can modify animal performance. Given the ubiquity of parasites in the environment, we encourage scientists to consider individual infection status when assessing performance of wild animals. We also suggest ways for researchers to implement such practices in both experimental and observational studies. </p>
Animation video on responsible research and innovation (RRI)
<p>This is a short animation video about responsible research and innovation. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/fOG5U2QweBo</p> <p>In research guided by responsible research and innovation (RRI), members of society work with scientists to align both the entire research process and its results with societal needs. The researcher and the research institute or research funder turn openly to citizens and involve the relevant societal actors in formulating research questions and collecting and analysing data. In RRI-guided research, scientists never forget to ask themselves: will our research do good to society and the Earth? What will its long-term social, ethical, and ecological consequences be? If a researcher or research-performing organisation integrates responsibility into their work, they will feel more useful and impactful in their profession, all in order to improve the lives of their fellow human and non-human beings. For this reason, it is important for researchers to reflect on their own organisational operations and change their daily routines. This is exactly what the Co-Change Project started to experiment with. In order to raise awareness of RRI, the project initiated ongoing deliberation within and beyond its own organisations through discussing ethics, gender, and open-science-related topics that engage all units that deal with research and innovation, as well as involving external experts and stakeholders in co-creating change.</p> <p> </p>

Communicating Animal Research Part 1
<p><strong>Episode Summary:</strong></p> <p>In this episode we are discussing the issues connected to communicating animal research. Open Science is based on making science more transparent and accessible, but what does that mean for those who do more controversial research? We will cover what fears scientists might have, and the arguments for and against animal research that scientists often hear. In Part 1, Luiza gives her perspective as a former lab scientist and Emma talks about her ideological change from animal rights activist to science communicator. </p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://eara.eu/en/">European Animal Research Association (EARA)</a></li> <li><a href="http://concordatopenness.org.uk/about-the-concordat-on-openness/openness-in-animal-research-public-dialogue">Openness in Animal Research Public Dialogue</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes:</strong></p> <p>'If one scientist feels they can talk about this a bit more then that's good, right?' </p>

Butler-Volmer Equation Animation
<p>The Butler-Volmer equation is a phenomenological model for electrode kinetics and is commonly applied to describe the current-voltage relationship of battery and fuel cell electrodes. This animation illustrates how the shape of the current-voltage curve is affected by modifying the charge transfer coefficient (alpha) and exchange current density (i_0) parameters. The animation is intended for instructive purposes and is not parameterized to reflect any specific electrode. </p>

WE, THE ANIMALS | Habitat
<p>During this pandemic, “We, the animals” are back to claim our rights and remind all of society and its governments that the balance of the planet and, consequently, the health of all depends on urgent changes, not only in principle but also in attitudes. Say no to deforestation and habitat loss, trafficking, hunting, consumption and possession of wild animals. Say yes to ecosystem health and animal welfare. Nature thanks you!</p>
Disease and lesion maps - part of the Scientific opinion on the evaluation of public and animal health risks in case of a delayed post-mortem inspection in ungulates
<p>EFSA was requested to assess the impact on effectiveness of <em>post-mortem</em> inspection in terms of any change in the sensitivity of detection of animal diseases of domestic and wild ungulates listed according to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2016/429 and septicaemia, pyaemia, toxaemia or viraemia, when carried out after up to 24 hours or up to 72 hours after slaughter in comparison to when it is carried out immediately after slaughter. In order to identify the main lesions associated with the target diseases, a so called “disease map” was built, with the information about the clinical forms of the diseases (acute, subacute, chronic, or latent forms) and clinical signs, as well as potential lesions that could be observed on the respective diseased animals.</p> <p>The following information is indicated for each disease/condition in the disease map:</p> <ol> <li>The susceptible animal species</li> <li>Whether there is any surveillance programme in place in the EU</li> <li>The signs associated with the disease that could be detected at <em>ante mortem </em>inspection;</li> <li>The lesions associated with the disease that could be detected at <em>post mortem</em> inspection</li> <li>The probability of detecting the disease during the PMI as normally carried out.</li> <li>Whether carcass swabbing and/or laboratory tests are normally carried out.</li> </ol> <p>From the disease map, the list of organs to be considered at <em>post mortem</em> inspection and the lesions, a “lesion map” was built by connecting animal species with organs, lesions and corresponding disease. This was done to facilitate the construction of a questionnaire where, for each organ and the five types of lesions, the respondents (meat inspectors) had to provide a numerical answer about how many carcasses out of 100 with the given lesion, will be still detected after 24- or 72-h of refrigerated storage.</p>
