Validated Sandwich ELISA for the Quantification of von Willebrand Factor in Rabbit Plasma

Biomarker Insights, 2010
von Willebrand Factor (vWF) is a multimeric plasma protein important for platelet plug formation. As part of its haemostatic role, it is released from endothelial cells during vascular stress or injury and is considered an excellent biomarker of ...

Dialect Formation in Ghost Bats: Genetic, Geographic and Morphological Drivers of Social and Echolocation Call Divergence

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Dialect formation in the vocal repertoire of the ghost bat Macroderma gigas was investigated by comparing acoustic, geographic, genetic and morphological distances among colonies in the Northern Territory Australia. Dialects were detected in all vocalisation types examined, and while genetic (and geographic distance) explained some of the variation ...

Vocal Complexity Constrains the Dear Enemy Effect: A Comparative Study of Coal Tits and Green‐Backed Tits

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study investigated neighbor–stranger discrimination in two sympatric tit species exhibiting contrasts in song repertoire complexity: coal tits (Periparus ater) and green‐backed tits (Parus monticolus). Coal tits exhibited robust discrimination, responding with significantly greater aggression to strangers.

Assessing the Drivers of Distribution for a Cryptic Species Over a Large and Rugged Landscape: Occupancy Modeling of the Critically Endangered Northern White‐Cheeked Gibbon

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We conducted presence/non‐detection sampling of the Critically Endangered northern white‐cheeked gibbon in Lao PDR. Occupancy was found to be a function of human usage of the site, distance from the nearest road, and the uninterruptedness of forest cover.

Rock solid: winter ecology of boreal bats at natural hibernation sites

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Overwintering bats at northerly latitudes spend up to eight months a year in a state of dormancy: a period characterised by extended use of torpor, but not an absolute lack of activity. Although this period constitutes a majority of their yearly cycle, little is known about their ecology during this time, because of the cryptic behaviour of bats ...

acoupi: An open‐source Python framework for deploying bioacoustic AI models on edge devices

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 67-76, January 2026.
Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) coupled with artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an essential tool for biodiversity monitoring. Traditional PAM systems require manual data offloading and impose substantial demands on data storage and computing infrastructure. The combination of on‐device AI processing and network connectivity enables to

Influence of distance, frequency, habitat and angle of incidence on sound levels in passive acoustic monitoring with AudioMoth recorders

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 221-228, January 2026.
Sound levels of animal recordings are affected by their distance, direction, and the surrounding habitat. We estimated the magnitude of these effects for sound frequencies between 1.25 kHz (audible sound) and 50 kHz (ultrasound) using AudioMoth, a commonly used recorder in passive acoustic monitoring.

Artificial light alters spatial and temporal habitat use by a crepuscular aerial insectivore

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 308-328, January 2026.
Artificial light is increasing worldwide, and has biological effects from molecular to ecosystem levels, which may be particularly severe for crepuscular and nocturnal animals. We investigated how artificial light affected spatial and temporal patterns of habitat use by Common Nighthawks Chordeiles minor in the southern Grassland and northern Boreal ...

Prototyping an internet-of-things-based bioacoustics system to support research and surveillance of avian-associated infectious diseases

Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research
Zoonotic infectious diseases and cross-species pathogen spillover are driven by biodiversity and spatio-temporal ecological interactions. Generating high-resolution data to approximate the presence and absence of animals and their mobility, density, and ...

Exposure to traffic noise weakens territory defence in the Southern Emu‐wren (Stipiturus malachurus)

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 140-155, January 2026.
Anthropogenic noise has the potential to negatively impact wildlife by disrupting communication and reducing overall fitness. Understanding the effects of traffic noise on signalling behaviour can be important for managing threatened populations. The Southern Emu‐wren Stipiturus malachurus is a threatened, sedentary and territorial songbird, with a ...
