Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger) typically nest in coastal environments. However, there are populations in South America that nest along freshwater river tributaries, where they are subjected to threats from predation and flooding that differ from coastal counterparts. We monitored Black Skimmers from a population in Manu National Park, Peru, over two breeding seasons and compared their life history traits with those of Black Skimmer populations across the Americas. Mean clutch size, daily nest...

CONCLUSIONS: Violence prevention reporting increased over time but remained uneven across hospital types. WVPPs were far more common than CVPPs, and both were concentrated in hospitals with greater organizational capacity. Targeted policy and implementation support may be needed to expand prevention infrastructure in lower-resourced settings.

A 7-y-old American Quarter Horse mare was presented to a veterinary hospital for ongoing reproductive monitoring and management of endometritis. During physical evaluation, several nodular lesions of unknown origin and duration were discovered in the mammae. Histologically, biopsies from the lesions were confirmed as severe granulomatous mastitis with intralesional rhabditid nematodes. A putative diagnosis of Halicephalobus gingivalis or Pelodera strongyloides infection was assigned, and...

CONCLUSION: Our results showed that having access to a PCMH was associated with a decreased likelihood of severe asthma symptoms. Additionally, there are sociodemographic factors that significantly impact the likelihood of children with asthma meeting criteria for a PCMH. Given the scale of children with asthma not having comprehensive medical care, national and state policies are needed to enhance access to services.

Invasive plant species present a growing ecological and economic challenge, and often adapt rapidly to their novel environments through complex demographic and evolutionary processes. Invasion genomics offers powerful tools to disentangle these processes, but most studies rely on geographically narrow sampling across native and non-native ranges. Erigeron canadensis is a cosmopolitan weed native to North America that has successfully invaded diverse climates worldwide. We used double-digest...
