Going Mobile: Using Portable Genomic Technologies for PCR‐Free In Situ Species Identification and Real‐Time Molecular Systematics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Here, we document how the implementation of a portable laboratory, in combination with targeted long‐read sequencing through an approach known as nanopore adaptive sampling, can facilitate in situ genomic and systematic analyses across a wide range of animal taxa, including multiple small mammals and blood‐feeding arthropods.

Literature review on antimony concentrations in foodstuffs and consumer risk assessment

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2025.
Abstract This study aimed to produce a comprehensive review of published data and Swiss enforcement laboratory analyses on antimony (Sb) concentrations in foodstuffs, including their sources, speciation, and potential health risks to consumers. Sb concentration data were compiled through an extensive survey of both scientific and grey literature.

Addressing spatial confounding in geostatistical regression models: An R‐INLA approach

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 2082-2097, September 2025.
Abstract Spatial confounding, which has been studied extensively in recent years, can explain inconsistencies between results obtained by regression models with and without spatial modelling. While the most common solutions for spatial confounding mitigation often target areal data or geostatistical data modelling by splines, we aim to extend some ...

Urban political ecologies of sewage surveillance: Creating vital and valuable public health data from wastewater

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract With the outbreak of COVID‐19, wastewater surveillance for public health rapidly emerged and expanded globally. In this article we chart the variegated ecosystem of private firms that work closely with public and non‐profit entities to transform metabolic flows of sewage into vital and valuable bioinformation, thereby creating new multi ...

Selecting essential information for biosurveillance--a multi-criteria decision analysis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The National Strategy for Biosurveillance defines biosurveillance as "the process of gathering, integrating, interpreting, and communicating essential information related to all-hazards threats or disease activity affecting human, animal, or plant health

Invasive Species Monitoring Is Improved by Combining eDNA qPCR and Traditional Microscopy Methods

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study evaluated two methods for detecting invasive dreissenid mussels–environmental DNA (eDNA) testing and cross‐polarized light microscopy–across samples from infested water bodies. Results indicated that eDNA testing could improve early detection sensitivity, as it identified dreissenid DNA in samples where microscopy did not detect larvae.

Newcomers and Old Friends: Long‐Distance and Bridgehead Introductions Both Contribute to the Recent Invasion of the Little Fire Ant in Southern Europe

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Biological invasions result from the combination of (i) population dispersal opportunities and (ii) adaptations to the recipient environment. Identifying complex migration histories, made of long‐distance dispersal from the native range and secondary introductions, or genetic patterns indicative of adaptation is crucial to build coherent ...
