Sensitive Environmental DNA Methods for Low‐Risk Surveillance of At‐Risk Bumble Bees

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques have been proposed as a means of sensitive, non‐lethal pollinator monitoring. To date, however, no studies have provided evidence that eDNA methods can achieve detection sensitivity on par with traditional pollinator surveys.

Managing hedgerows for biodiversity: Disentangling the effects of trimming, structure and connectivity on the use of linear features by bats

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3300-3313, December 2025.
Our findings underscore the value of extensive hedgerow management in promoting on‐farm bat activity and support the integration of simple hedgerow quality assessment protocols into agri‐environment schemes. Consistent with previous research, we confirm the importance of tall, tree‐filled hedgerows and emphasise the need to preserve mature trees.

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2608-2624, December 2025.
ABSTRACTAnimal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”. Behaviour with
