Declining or Waning
- Traditional Veterinary Practices:
Research centered on conventional veterinary practices and treatments has been less frequently published, possibly due to a shift towards more innovative and evidence-based approaches in veterinary medicine. - Zoological Studies on Wildlife:
There has been a reduction in studies focusing exclusively on wildlife and exotic animal species, indicating a potential shift towards domestic animal research and issues pertinent to livestock. - Basic Morphological Studies:
Papers that solely focus on the morphological aspects of animals without a functional or applied perspective have decreased, suggesting a move towards more integrative and applied research that combines morphology with other scientific disciplines.
