Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We applied eDNA metabarcoding to assess vertebrate diversity in the Rance Estuary, France, across five stations spanning marine to freshwater environments, including areas upstream and downstream of a tidal power plant dam. A total of 124 vertebrate MOTUs were detected, with community composition reflecting the estuarine gradient and species turnover ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of Urocissa erythroryncha (Passeriformes: Corvidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2018 The complete mitochondrial genome of Urocissa erythroryncha is 16930 bp in length. It was predicted to contain 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, and a putative control region. All of the PCGs initiated with ATG, except for MT-COX1 which began with GTG and MT-ND3 began with ATA, while stopped by three types of stop codons.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 218-230, March 2026.China is a global hotspot for cuckoo‐host diversity, with 17 cuckoo species, exploiting 142 host species. We reveal adaptive matching in body size and egg traits, along with niche partitioning among cuckoos, while identifying eight new host species.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Cognitive abilities of animals [PDF]
, 2012 Životinje su oduvijek privlačile ljudsku pažnju, a danas se posebna pozornost pridaje njihovom ponašanju i sposobnostima. Brojne kognitivne sposobnosti, nekad smatrane jedinstvenima za ljude, pronađene su među životinjama. Te sposobnosti uključuju učenje

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.

Factors affecting the diet of Peregrine Falcon in Italy [PDF]
, 2016 The diet of top predators can provide useful information on phenology and abundance of their prey. The cosmopolitan and specialist Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) is an ideal model to assess whether food changes have occurred in the long-term.

Predators and scavengers: Polar bears as marine carrion providers
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Scavenging is a foraging strategy widely used across the animal kingdom and apex predators provide a large amount of energy in a food web by provisioning carrion. In the harsh environmental conditions of the Arctic, apex predators such as polar bears Ursus maritimus can provide scavenging opportunities for many species. Carrion can act as a buffer when
