Covariates influence optimal camera‐trap survey design for occupancy modelling
We investigated the impact of covariates (e.g., habitat quality, temperature) on the optimal design of camera trap surveys to estimate species occupancy. Using simulations of a virtual species, we found that increasing the number of cameras consistently reduced error across a range of covariate effects.

Detection of Leptospira in cane toads (Rhinella jimi) from urban and rural Paraíba, Brazil
Abstract Background Leptospirosis is a significant zoonosis in tropical regions, where poor sanitation and favourable climate aid its spread. Synanthropic animals such as the cane toad (Rhinella jimi), which share environments with both people and wild and domestic animals, may harbour Leptospira and contribute to urban and rural transmission cycles ...

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.
