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

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
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 ...

Stable social structure of spotted hyenas Crocuta crocuta during the dry and wet season in Central Tuli, Botswana

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Group‐living animals often exhibit dynamic social structures, with fission–fusion behavior enabling adaptive responses to environmental changes. Spotted hyenas Crocuta crocuta are large carnivores with complex social dynamics influenced by intrinsic factors, such as rank and kinship, and extrinsic factors, such as prey availability.

Essential tools but overlooked bias: Artificial intelligence and citizen science classification affect camera trap data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, Page 2638-2652, November 2025.
Abstract Camera trapping generates vast image datasets requiring classification before downstream ecological inference, yet the influence of classification errors on subsequent analyses is often overlooked. Classification performance can vary widely depending on the classification method (e.g. citizen science vs. artificial intelligence [AI]), species,

Impact of Illegal Anthropogenic Activities on the Spatio-temporal Variations in the Distribution of the Defassa Waterbuck Population (Kobus ellipsiprymnus defassa, Rüppel, 1835) in the Classified Forest and Game Ranch of Nazinga, Burkina Faso

Journal of Agriculture and Ecology Research International
The number of defassa waterbuck populations in the Nazinga Classified Forest and Game Ranch is declining. Few studies have been carried out on the distribution of this population. In general, the defassa waterbuck populations as well as other mammals are subject to abusive exploitation linked to anthropogenic activities.
