Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to assess vertebrate biodiversity in headwater streams of the Rio Santo Antônio basin, southeastern Brazil, a tributary of the Rio Doce. A total of 119 vertebrate OTUs were identified, with oxidation–reduction potential emerging as the strongest environmental predictor of species richness.

A Ground Surface Rolling Method for Detecting Environmental DNA of Terrestrial Animals
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.The Koro‐rin sampler enables surface‐based eDNA detection of terrestrial animals. This approach captured a broad range of bird and mammal taxa, including small and cryptic species, and revealed seasonal patterns in animal presence, complementing conventional monitoring methods.

Neither slim nor fat: estimating the mass of the dodo (Raphus cucullatus, Aves, Columbiformes) based on the largest sample of dodo bones to date [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) might be the most enigmatic bird of all times. It is, therefore, highly remarkable that no consensus has yet been reached on its body mass; previous scientific estimates of its mass vary by more than 100%. Until now, the vast
