Advancing Environmental DNA Methods for Monitoring the Reproduction of Quagga and Zebra Mussels in Lakes

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive alien mussels threaten freshwater ecosystems worldwide by disrupting food webs and nutrient cycling. The effective monitoring of these populations is therefore essential to assess their spread and ecological impacts. This study demonstrates the applicability of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to monitor the reproductive periods of ...

Discovery of Novel Viruses and Common Contaminants From Unmapped DNA and RNA in Pigs and Chickens Under Different Housing Conditions

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Unmapped sequencing reads in livestock often contain valuable information about pathogens but are typically discarded. We analyzed blood‐derived DNA and RNA from chickens and pigs kept under high‐ and low‐biosecurity conditions, focusing on unmapped reads.

Defensin‐DNA Supramolecular Complexes as a New pH‐Sensing Nanomaterial

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Crocodylus porosus β‐defensin 13 (CpoBD13), a host defence peptide from the saltwater crocodile, is discovered to interact with single‐ and double‐stranded DNA to form supramolecular assemblies, termed defensin‐induced spherical complexes (DISCs).

Long‐term trends in parasite diversity and infection levels: approaches and patterns

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1120-1142, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasites exist in every ecosystem, affecting nearly all organisms and playing a complex role in human societies. On the one hand, they contribute substantially to biodiversity and support ecosystem stability by performing essential ecological functions.

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
