Applying Environmental DNA Metabarcoding to Calculate an Index of Biotic Integrity for Freshwater Fish

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
We used eDNA metabarcoding to calculate a fish‐based IBI and compared our eDNA‐IBI to a previously implemented fish‐IBI for the Tennessee River basin in northern Alabama. We found significant, positive relationships between the eDNA‐IBI and fish‐IBI, but we discuss how future directions may improve eDNA‐IBIs.

Individual variation in animal communication: from species averages to unique voices

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2625-2640, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The comparative study of communicative behaviour in non‐human animals, especially primates, has yielded crucial insights into the evolution of human language. This research, mostly focused on the species and population level, has improved our understanding of the various socio‐ecological factors that shape communication systems.
