Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

A Systematic Review of the Clinical Impact of Implementing Artificial Intelligence in Upper Aerodigestive Tract Endoscopy

open access: yesHead &Neck, Volume 47, Issue 11, Page 2998-3018, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Endoscopy is essential in upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) examination, particularly in the early detection of laryngopharyngeal lesions. However, UADT endoscopy remains operator‐dependent and lacks standardized quality metrics. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have generated interest in applications within UADT ...

Roads shape seed dispersal by rodents and carnivores at forest edges

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 3040-3054, November 2025.
These findings highlight the role of roads as barriers and of roadsides as corridors for mammal‐mediated seed dispersal, with implications for forest regeneration and habitat connectivity. Roadside management should prioritize moderate shrub cover along paved roads to support rodent‐mediated seed dispersal while balancing ecological benefits with ...

Essential tools but overlooked bias: Artificial intelligence and citizen science classification affect camera trap data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, Page 2638-2652, November 2025.
Abstract Camera trapping generates vast image datasets requiring classification before downstream ecological inference, yet the influence of classification errors on subsequent analyses is often overlooked. Classification performance can vary widely depending on the classification method (e.g. citizen science vs. artificial intelligence [AI]), species,

Effects of lethal and non‐lethal wolf (Canis lupus) management measures on livestock depredation in the Golan Heights, Israel

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Lethal interventions were not a consistently effective tool for reducing livestock depredations in a high‐density wolf system. Management should account for the ecological side effects of culling and prioritize adaptive non‐lethal strategies, such as livestock guardian dogs, targeted seasonal calving and rotational grazing, to promote more sustainable ...

ALL THAT GLITTERS: THE MANY OBJECTS OF ROME'S MUSEUM OF CIVILIZATIONS

open access: yesHistory and Theory, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 422-452, September 2025.
ABSTRACT This review article examines the various methodologies practiced by Rome's Museum of Civilizations (Museo delle Civiltà) to discuss the contemporary curatorial approaches of traditional ethnographic museums. It adopts a historical and comparative perspective to situate the diverse collections within ongoing debates about art restitution.

THE COSMOPOLITICS OF CATS AND WILDLIFE ON CAPE TOWN'S URBAN EDGE

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 948-966, July 2025.
Abstract Free‐ranging cats are widely tolerated in cities, and animal welfare organizations increasingly allow for ‘trap, neuter and release’ (TNR) of unowned cats. We show, using the example of a university campus adjacent to a national park in a large metropole, that this has implications for cosmopolitics over biodiversity on the urban edge.

The Lost Large Mammals of Arabia

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim If successful, plans to restore the vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (AP) as announced by the Middle East and Saudi Green Initiatives will see the greatest increase in vegetation cover since the beginning of the Holocene Humid Phase (HHP), roughly 9–10,000 years ago.
