Is the relationship between body length and body mass consistent across habitats? A case study on Niphargus (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
Zoology (Jena). 2023 Sep 9;161:126120. doi: 10.1016/j.zool.2023.126120. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBody size is one of the main characteristics of any organism and influences various aspects of individual's biology. In animal ecology, it represents a key functional trait that can be quantified using different measures and is often used as a proxy for different organismal functions. The way we quantify body size is critical in any study using this measure alone or to scale other organismal traits. It is especially important in groups that act as model systems across different fields of biological research. One of such gr...

Polyomavirus-associated Disseminated T-cell Lymphoma in a Colony of Zebra Finches (Taeniopygia guttata)
Comp Med. 2023 Sep 11. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-CM-23-000011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFour zebra finches in a closed research colony presented with variable clinical signs, including masses, skin lesions,shivering, and/or ruffled feathers. These birds were not responsive to treatment efforts; 3 died and one was euthanized. All4 were submitted for necropsy to determine the cause of the clinical signs. Gross necropsy and histopathologic findings fromall birds resulted in a diagnosis of round cell neoplasia in multiple organs, including the skin, liver, kidney, and reproductivetract, with intranuclear inclusion bodies in the...

Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Alpha-Hemolytic Streptococcus spp. from the Oral Cavity and Blood of Septicemic Periparturient Immunodeficient Mice
Comp Med. 2023 Sep 11. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-CM-23-000020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMISTRG is an immunodeficient mouse strain that expresses multiple human cytokines that support hematopoietic stem cell maintenance and myelopoiesis. While establishing a breeding colony of MISTRG mice in a dedicated barrier room, 6 cases of death or disease occurred in pregnant or postpartum mice. Clinically, this manifested as hunched posture, dyspnea, and 1 case of emaciation with ataxia. Pathologic analysis of 7 mice revealed multisystemic necrosuppurative inflammation variably affecting the uterus and placenta, joints, meninges, inne...
