Going Mobile: Using Portable Genomic Technologies for PCR‐Free In Situ Species Identification and Real‐Time Molecular Systematics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Here, we document how the implementation of a portable laboratory, in combination with targeted long‐read sequencing through an approach known as nanopore adaptive sampling, can facilitate in situ genomic and systematic analyses across a wide range of animal taxa, including multiple small mammals and blood‐feeding arthropods.

Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 2894-2913, November 2025.
Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an
