Geographic Patterns of Head Morphology in Syngnathus typhle Across Marine Regions
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Morphometric analysis of Syngnathus typhle head shape shows distinct geographic patterns across Baltic, North, Atlantic, and Mediterranean marine regions, driven by variation in snout length, head depth, and eye position. Findings provide a non‐invasive baseline for conservation monitoring.

Plant diversity and evolution: genotypic and phenotypic variation in higher plants
, 2005 An understanding of plant diversity at both the genome and phenome level is important for both biodiversity conservation and plant breeding. Recent advances in genomics have also resulted in a growth of the subject of plant functional genomics. This book

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

From video to behaviour: An LSTM‐based approach for automated nest behaviour recognition in the wild
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Studies of animal behaviour usually rely on direct observations or manual annotations of video recordings. However, such methods can be very time‐consuming and error‐prone, leading to sub‐optimal sample sizes. Recent advances in deep learning show great potential to overcome such limitations.

Effects of environmental change on genetic diversity and distribution pf phelbotomus ariasi, a vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Southwest Europe [PDF]
Leishmania infantum is the causative agent of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL) in the Mediterranean region, with the domestic dog as the main reservoir host. Phlebotomus (Larroussius) ariasi is the principal vector in cooler, forested ecotopes in

Addressing false negatives and positives in eDNA studies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized the study of ecology and biodiversity, enabling species detection without direct observation in the environment. However, the implications of detection errors, specifically false positives and false negatives, are poorly reported in eDNA studies, significantly hindering our understanding of the ...

Accuracy of occurrence and abundance estimates from insect metabarcoding
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract DNA metabarcoding—high‐throughput sequencing of barcode regions from bulk samples—has become a key tool for insect biodiversity assessment. Yet, how methodological choices affect the accuracy of metabarcoding data remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we ask: (1) How does the lysis method (non‐destructive lysis vs.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.
