A Ground Surface Rolling Method for Detecting Environmental DNA of Terrestrial Animals
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.The Koro‐rin sampler enables surface‐based eDNA detection of terrestrial animals. This approach captured a broad range of bird and mammal taxa, including small and cryptic species, and revealed seasonal patterns in animal presence, complementing conventional monitoring methods.

Space‐use strategies drive diet composition of Baffin Bay polar bears
EcospherePolar bears (Ursus maritimus) depend on sea ice to hunt their ice‐associated prey. However, climate‐induced sea ice loss is leading to changes in space‐use strategies of polar bears, with bears in some subpopulations spending more time on land or ...

Speculations on nature and extent of Archean basement in Labrador as indicated by SR, ND and PB isotopic systematics of proterozoic intrusives [PDF]
The Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr isotopic compositions of mid to late Proterozoic (approximately 1.6 to 1.1 Ga) massif-type anorthosites and mafic intrusives in the eastern Canadian shield are correlated with geographic location.
