Host‐Driven Genetic Diversity of Leptospira in the Americas: A Continental Perspective [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

iNaturalist and Structured Mammal Surveys Reflect Similar Species Richness but Capture Different Species Pools Across the United States [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.iNaturalist data is widely used in ecology, but is known to contain spatial and taxa‐specific biases. We compared species richness and species pools using data from iNaturalist and structured surveys (i.e., camera traps and acoustic bat surveys) across the United States. We found that iNaturalist and structured surveys generally report similar richness,
