Substrate‐Dependent Variation in Environmental DNA Persistence and Degradation From a Small Mammal

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses have been applied to terrestrial environments for over a decade, yet knowledge of the dynamics of eDNA deposition, movement and degradation remains limited. To address this, we conducted a controlled experiment over 1 year to assess the persistence of eDNA from an arboreal mammal across four substrates (water,

Estimation of Adult Census Size From Close‐Kin Dyads in the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate estimates of adult mosquito abundance are central to the design and evaluation of vector control strategies, yet they are difficult to obtain from natural populations. Conventional mark‐recapture methods for estimating adult mosquito census size pose logistical and other challenges. A recently developed close‐kin mark‐recapture (CKMR)

Evaluation of a rotational indoor farming system: Basil agronomic performance, resource efficiency and postharvest quality

Scientia Horticulturae
Indoor vertical farming aims to optimize productivity and plant quality. We therefore compared a rotative (ROT) cultivation system, designed to improve light and airflow homogeneity but potentially inducing mechanical stress and altered gravity ...

Cooking Impacts PM1 in Suburban New York, With Implications for Respiratory Deposition

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Sub–micron particulate matter (PM1) in the New York (NY) metropolitan area impacts air quality and human health. We characterized refractory black carbon (BC) and non–refractory (NR) PM1 in Mineola, NY during winter 2024 and NR‐PM1 during summer 2023.
