Unveiling Origin Pitfalls in Metagenomic Surveillance for Emerging Infectious Diseases: Parvoviruses as a Model

open access: yesiMetaMed, Volume 1, Issue 1, September 2025.
A diverse reagent‐associated virome, including parvoviruses, misleads zoonotic surveillance. By leveraging large language models (ChatGPT‐4o), we construct a virus discovery data framework (PVDDC) and ParvoDB to access and correct host misattributions, thereby enhancing the accuracy of metagenomic surveillance for emerging zoonotic diseases.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Terrestrial invertebrates of the Faroe Islands: V. Earthworms (Lumbricidae): Distribution and habitats

open access: yesFauna Norvegica, 1983
Sampling in the summers of 1978 - 1979 in 112 localities on 18 islands in the Faroe group yielded ten species of earthworms. All ten also occur in neighbouring areas (Iceland, the Hebrides, western Norway) with the exception of Octolasiuin lacteum and ...

A new underwater camera trap for freshwater wildlife monitoring

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1625-1635, August 2025.
Abstract Amphibians are among the most threatened groups of vertebrates worldwide and spend a significant part of their lifecycle in freshwater ecosystems. As for many freshwater organisms, monitoring their populations is limited by the lack of robust and standard methods applicable across large spatial scales.

Fast‐tracking bespoke DNA reference database generation from museum collections for biomonitoring and conservation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Despite recent advances in high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies, a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases limits the potential for DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for
