Emergency response in overturned pig transport vehicles: Description and discussion of Danish cases from a One Welfare perspective by Cecilie Kobek-Kjeldager, Kirstin Dahl-Pedersen, Mette S Herskin

“…Overall, the analyses of the interviews showed that the emergency response at an overturned pig transport vehicle involves different professional groups, requires technical knowledge regarding animal transport vehicles as well as knowledge of the species involved and how to handle the animals. The results are discussed from a One Welfare perspective, suggesting that these emergency responses include an inherent societal prioritisation dilemma involving the balancing of, for example, training, preparation and debriefing of different professional groups. …”

Extensive paralogism in the environmental pangenome: a key factor in the ecological success of natural SAR11 populations by Carmen Molina-Pardines, Jose M. Haro-Moreno, Francisco Rodriguez-Valera, Mario López-Pérez

“…Despite their abundance, challenges in recovering the full genetic diversity of natural populations have hindered our understanding of the eco-evolutionary mechanisms driving intra-species variation. In this study, we employed a combination of single-amplified genomes and long-read metagenomics to recover the genomic diversity of natural populations within the SAR11 genomospecies Ia.3/VII, the dominant group in the Mediterranean Sea. …”
