Tracing Ancient Migration Routes: Did Gloydius Pitvipers Disperse Across Paleo‐Tibet Through Temperate and Subtropical Corridors?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We investigated the evolutionary and biogeographic history of Himalayan and Hindu Kush Gloydius pitvipers by integrating time‐calibrated phylogenetic analyses with paleoclimatic reconstructions and species distribution modeling. Our results suggest an early Miocene origin in East and Southeast Asia, followed by westward dispersal across Paleo‐Tibet via

Temporal Persistence of Vertebrate Airborne Environmental DNA in a Natural Open‐Air Setting

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Airborne detection of a single known DNA source under natural outdoor conditions ceased 3 days after source removal, indicating that airborne eDNA primarily reflects recent animal presence rather than a lasting trace. These findings offer key insights for optimizing field deployment of airborne eDNA sampling.
