Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of eDNA sampling to determine occupancy of Coeur d'Alene salamanders, an “imperiled” species in Montana. Previous methods used to identify occupied sites were haphazard with no measure of detection probability. Due to the unique habitat used by these salamanders (seeps and waterfall spray zones),

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This review synthesizes over 15 years of advancements in eDNA technology by systematizing standardized guidelines for sampling, extraction, and bioinformatics, thereby enhancing the reproducibility of eDNA‐based research. It highlights eDNA's transformative role in noninvasively detecting rare, endangered, and invasive species, as well as its value in ...

The “regime shift extinctions” hypothesis and mass extinction of waterbirds in Hawaiʻi
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Studies of biodiversity loss commonly imply that species extinctions occurred as a direct result of initial human arrival and thus are attributable to stewardship failures of Indigenous Peoples. However, recent studies have suggested this assumption is not supported by the evidence, prompting a global reevaluation of existing assumptions.

Introduced wild pigs affect the foraging ecology of a native predator as both prey and scavenger
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Introduced species can disrupt trophic interactions by acting as novel predators, prey, or scavengers. Predicting the impacts of these disruptions can be integral to the conservation of native species and the maintenance of ecological function, but is challenging, especially for species involved in multiple trophic interactions.

Policy Recommendation on the Restriction on Amphibian Trade Toward the Republic of Korea
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020 Amphibian diseases and invasive amphibian species are both generally introduced through the wildlife trade, either for human consumption or for the pet trade. However, adequate regulations can prevent such introductions.
