Seasonality, Moisture, and Host Community Structure of Haemaphysalis Ticks in a Subtropical Urban Mosaic in Hong Kong, China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We integrated field surveys, DNA barcoding and integrative taxonomy, iDNA, and ecological modeling to resolve the distributions, seasonality, and host use of Haemaphysalis ticks across Hong Kong. Moisture was indicative of adult activity, and iDNA suggested predominant feeding on wild mammals, particularly wild boar and porcupine.

Evolutionary genetics of birds IV rates of protein divergence in waterfowl (Anatidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
An electrophoretic comparison of proteins in 26 species of waterfowl (Anatidae), representing two major subfamilies and six subfamilial tribes, led to the following major conclusions: (1) the genetic data, analyzed phenetically and cladistically ...

DuckNet: an open‐source deep learning tool for waterfowl species identification in UAV imagery

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 113-128, February 2026.
Using drones with thermal‐RGB sensors and a deep learning model (RetinaNet with ResNet‐50), we surveyed non‐breeding waterfowl across restored wetlands in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley. Our model, DuckNet, achieved high accuracy and offers an open‐source, customizable tool for automated waterfowl detection to support conservation monitoring ...

Comparing Sediment and Water eDNA Metabarcoding for Monitoring Aquatic Biodiversity in a Plateau Lake

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Using multi‐locus eDNA metabarcoding of sediment and water samples collected from a plateau lake, this study systematically compared taxonomic diversity and community composition between the two sample types across the tree of life from archaea to mammals.

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic relationships in Anatidae

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) has been used as a powerful marker in a variety of phylogenetic studies. According to studies of bird species, the 694-bp sequence of the mitochondrial gene encoding COI is extremely useful for species identification and phylogeny.

A Ground Surface Rolling Method for Detecting Environmental DNA of Terrestrial Animals

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
The Koro‐rin sampler enables surface‐based eDNA detection of terrestrial animals. This approach captured a broad range of bird and mammal taxa, including small and cryptic species, and revealed seasonal patterns in animal presence, complementing conventional monitoring methods.
