Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

Proteomic analysis resulting in species‐level identification of recently diverged North American arvicoline rodents

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1240-1251, October 2025.
ABSTRACT North American arvicoline rodents have long been considered to have high biogeographic, biochronologic, and paleoecological value. They provide relative dating of faunal assemblages when absolute dating is not possible and contribute to paleobiome characterization.

A Middle and Late Devensian sequence from the northern part of Kents Cavern (Devon, UK)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 925-943, August 2025.
Abstract 1920s/30s excavation of a Middle Devensian sequence in the northern part of Kents Cavern recovered important Late Middle and Early Upper Palaeolithic archaeological material, including Britain's oldest known Homo sapiens remains. Questions remain about this material, including how it came to be in the cave.

Annual assessment of Echinococcus multilocularis surveillance reports submitted in 2025 in the context of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/772

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract This report comprises the 15th assessment of the Echinococcus multilocularis surveillance scientific reports, provided by Finland, Ireland, the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) and Norway on their respective surveillance programmes. Every year since 2012, EFSA presents the assessment to the European Commission in which the sampling strategy ...

Landscape composition and spatial prediction of alveolar echinococcosis in southern Ningxia, China. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) presents a serious public health challenge within China. Mass screening ultrasound surveys can detect pre-symptomatic AE, but targeting areas identified from hospital records is inefficient regarding AE.

Muskrat Island: Behavioral Shifts of an Insular Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) Population in the Gulf of Maine

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The North American fur trade fundamentally shifted baselines of furbearing mammals worldwide. Using camera traps and visual surveys, we document unexpected ecological and behavioral characteristics of a population of muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) that was likely introduced to the Isles of Shoals (Maine/New Hampshire, USA) in the early 1900s.

Combining eDNA Metabarcoding, Hydrology‐Based Modeling and Camera Trap Datasets to Assess the Potential of River eDNA in Monitoring Terrestrial Mammals

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
By applying the hydrology‐based eDITH model to two mountainous catchments and comparing it with camera trap data, we found that for 9 out of 15 taxa, predicted distributions predominantly matched camera trap observations. We utilized predicted eDNA patterns to compare the potential of different sampling strategies and found that monitoring biodiversity

What does the fox select? Spatial ecology of Rocky Mountain red fox during peaks and troughs of human recreation

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Understanding animal behavior at the population level can be challenging, especially in the presence of intraspecific variation in behavioral tactics. Individuals within a population often vary with respect to resource exploitation and use, which may be associated with individual states (e.g., male or female) or extrinsic variation (e.g ...
