DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0227205
Abstract: Objectives Low genetic diversity can lead to reduced average fitness in a population or even extinction. Preserving genetic connectivity across fragmented landscapes is therefore vital to counteract the negative consequences of genetic drift and inbreeding.… read more here.

DOI: 10.7589/2018-06-158
Abstract: A severely debilitated, free-living adult female European hedgehog ( Erinaceus europaeus) was presented for rehabilitation. It died overnight, and postmortem examination revealed a closed pyometra. Histopathology confirmed metritis with endometrial hyperplasia, and Staphylococcus lentus was… read more here.
