The Seasonal Rhythms of Coastal eDNA: Insights Into Biodiversity and Regional Detection Patterns

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Seasonal variation affects environmental DNA (eDNA) detection, yet its influence on species monitoring remains underexplored. This study examines eDNA detection windows across taxa, primers, and regions, finding that most species have short detection periods (1–2 months) that vary with taxonomy and primer choice. These results underscore the importance

Moss‐Accumulated eDNA Is a Promising Source for Terrestrial Biodiversity Surveys Across the Tree of Life and Biomes

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Developments in the environmental DNA (eDNA) field have revolutionised our ability to map biodiversity by providing cost‐effective and non‐invasive means to survey organisms across the tree of life. In the terrestrial realm, a variety of eDNA sources have been employed, but we lack easily accessible and cosmopolitan sources of terrestrial eDNA.

Do Marine Mammals Diversify More Slowly Than Non‐Marine Mammals?

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Species richness is generally lower in marine than in terrestrial ecosystems, but the reasons behind this disparity remain unclear. This study examines whether marine mammals diversify at a slower pace than their non‐marine counterparts, aiming to shed light on the factors explaining potential diversification differences among them ...

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Caught on Camera: Insights Into Mizoram's Mammalian Diversity Through a Camera‐Trap‐Based Distance Sampling Approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Mizoram's study revealed low ungulate densities and abundance, suggesting illegal hunting as a cause and entailing conservation urgency. ABSTRACT Assessing species distribution and associated threats is crucial for effective conservation. Many species including mammals face extinction due to habitat loss, hunting, and illegal trade, with their ...
