Abstract Background The hirola (Beatragus hunteri) is the world's most critically endangered antelope. Its parasitic fauna has never been genetically characterised, raising questions about its possible role in the species' population decline. This study aimed to assess the presence of gastrointestinal parasites in hirolas and their transmission ...

The manuscript describes our partnership with a rural community and the use of freshwater tree‐of‐life eDNA analysis methods to provide a tangible demonstration of the ecosystem health and biodiversity measurements of their local water catchment. The eDNA methods were able to provide a clear link back to culturally significant species, some of which ...

Sedimentary ancient DNA from caves: Challenges and opportunities
Abstract Caves are unique depositional environments that hold great potential for long‐term preservation of DNA due to their typically cool and stable internal climates, buffered from external climate extremes. Bones from caves have long been recognised as an excellent source of ancient DNA, yet the potential for DNA preservation in cave sediments ...

With this study, detailed morphological, morphometric and 3D printing data of the roe deer os hyoideum were obtained for the first time and its similarities and differences with other animal species were compared. The os hyoideum consisted of six parts, but the processus lingualis, which is found in ruminants, was not present in the roe deer.

Quantifying Bone Collagen Fingerprint Variation Between Species
ABSTRACT Collagen is the most ubiquitous protein in the animal kingdom and one of the most abundant proteins on Earth. Despite having a relatively repetitive amino acid sequence motif that enables its triple helical structure, in type 1 collagen, that dominates skin and bone, there is enough variation for its increasing use for the biomolecular species

Shifting baselines and the forgotten giants: integrating megafauna into plant community ecology
The extensive, prehistoric loss of megafauna during the last 50 000 years led early naturalists to build the founding theories of ecology based on already‐degraded ecosystems. In this article, we outline how large herbivores affect community ecology, with a special focus on plants, through changes to selection, speciation, drift, and dispersal, thereby
