Passive Gauze‐Based eDNA Sampler Proves Efficient and Cost‐Effective in the Marine Environment
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Here, we present the first empirical comparison of the metaprobe 2.0, a low‐cost, passive eDNA sampler, against an industry standard Sterivex filtration method using dip‐collected 1‐L water samples (“water bottles”). Across 14 joint deployments, we assessed detection and quantification of eDNA of two elasmobranch and two teleost species. While Sterivex

Nest Counts of Kororā/Little Penguins on Horomaka/Banks Peninsula, New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.To better understand the population trends of kororā/little penguins (Eudyptula minor), the Horomaka/Banks Peninsula Kororā Survey of nesting colonies was conducted across two consecutive breeding seasons (November–January 2020/2021 and 2021/2022). Due to the number of sites and time requirements, volunteers were recruited to search 89 breeding sites ...

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 666-681, March 2026.Abstract Human–wildlife interactions are becoming more common as we progress through the Anthropocene. People tend to feed wildlife more regularly as it is often popularised by social media and can counteract their disconnect from the natural world. These interactions impact wildlife behaviour, feeding ecology and zoonotic transmission dynamics. Due to

Metals' Adsorption Onto Environmental Microplastics at Shoreline Sediments
X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 349-365, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT This study assessed trace element concentrations and microplastic (MP) contamination in three sandy beaches on the southern coast of Ilha Grande (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Environmental MPs were manually extracted from sand samples, and beaches were classified using the microplastic pollution index (MPPI).
