Fake Webs, Real Results: Artificial Spiderwebs for eDNA Collection
We designed artificial spiderwebs to see if they are as good as natural spiderwebs at capturing airborne DNA. In comparison to water eDNA methods, both natural and artificial spiderwebs revealed a distinct signature of terrestrial communities, while artificial webs served as a good proxy for natural webs ‐ without the negative impacts on spiders and ...

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

Orangutan Alu quiescence reveals possible source element: support for ancient backseat drivers
Background Sequence analysis of the orangutan genome revealed that recent proliferative activity of Alu elements has been uncharacteristically quiescent in the Pongo (orangutan) lineage, compared with all previously studied primate genomes.

The impact of civil war on forest wildlife in West Africa: Mammals in Gola Forest, Sierra Leone [PDF]
Human conflicts may sometimes benefit wildlife by depopulating wilderness areas but there is evidence from Africa that the impacts tend to be negative. The forested states of West Africa have experienced much recent human conflict but there have been no ...

ABSTRACT Aim Shark Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Western Australia, is highly vulnerable to climate change, yet its fish biodiversity remains poorly understood at fine spatial scales. We integrated environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with high‐resolution remote sensing to assess and extrapolate fish diversity patterns, providing a scalable ...

Chimpanzee Rights: The Philosophers' Brief [PDF]
In December 2013, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) filed a petition for a common law writ of habeas corpus in the New York State Supreme Court on behalf of Tommy, a chimpanzee living alone in a cage in a shed in rural New York (Barlow, 2017).

Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains
