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 ...

A possible taphonomical evidence for the palaeoecological role of the giant shrews (Mammalia, Soricidae) in the Carpathian Basin [PDF]
, 2014 The study on some toothmarks on the medial surface of the right ulna of a middle sized carnivore mammal are present in this paper. It is shown here as a possible taphonomical evidence of carrion-eating diet of the Late Miocene Crusafontina endemica ...

Towards a general framework for predicting threat status of data-deficient species from phylogenetic, spatial and environmental information [PDF]
, 2015 In taxon-wide assessments of threat status many species remain not included owing to lack of data. Here, we present a novel spatial-phylogenetic statistical framework that uses a small set of readily available or derivable characteristics, including ...
