Global Scientometric Mapping of Research Linking the Enteric Nervous System and Oxidative Stress
Background/Objectives: The enteric nervous system (ENS) is essential for gastrointestinal homeostasis and is vulnerable to oxidative imbalance associated with inflammatory, metabolic, and neurodegenerative disorders. However, research linking the ENS and oxidative stress has not...

The impact of climate and habitat on body shape and size evolution in charontid whip spiders
Abstract Environmental shifts often dictate Arthropod morphological evolution, yet certain lineages maintain remarkably conserved body plans across diverse habitats. Whip spiders (Amblypygi) emerged over 300 Ma and exhibit striking morphological conservatism; nonetheless, what dr...

Effect of carcass electrical stimulation on sheep and goat meat quality: a meta-analysis study
Context The utilization of electrical stimulation (ES) in small ruminant carcasses is less common than in beef processing facilities. Nevertheless, ES shows promise in mitigating cold shortening and improving meat quality traits in small ruminants. Aim This meta-analysis assessed...
