Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study explores the use of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) from haematophagous leeches to assess vertebrate biodiversity in the tropical rainforests of Indonesia. By applying Sanger sequencing with five primer sets, we detected 17 unique vertebrate taxa, including the rare Leptobrachium waysepuntiense, demonstrating the potential of iDNA as a ...

Carryover Effects of Thermal Conditions on Tick Survival, Behavior, and Simulated Detectability
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Recent thermal history affects the abundance and behavior of adult Amblyomma americanum. Thermal responses impacted simulated tick detection through combined effects on movement and mortality. ABSTRACT Carryover effects occur when environmental history of an organism influences its behavior, fitness, and population dynamics.

At the edge of darkness: A framework for the evolution of visual systems in dim light
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2626-2636, October 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light is an important biological cue for all living things. For animals, where many behaviours are driven by sensory input from the eyes, light is also a critical environmental feature shaping animal eye evolution, with the intensity of light (i.e.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2764-2773, October 2025.For sensitive or at‐risk bird species, treating parasites and disease can improve nest productivity and support population growth, making it a valuable conservation tool. In areas with high concentrations of poultry bugs or where eagles consume avian vectors of Trichomonas spp., pathogen and parasite treatments may serve as an effective mitigation ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2099-2115, October 2025.ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can
