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 ...

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Co‐Occurring Hybrid Zones of House Mouse Parasites Pneumocystis murina and Syphacia obvelata Using Genome Polarisation

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 21, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Parasites are expected to hybridise in similar ways to free‐living organisms, although this may be modified by their reduced genome architecture. Recombinant strains and taxa of hybrid origin can be studied in nature where hosts come into secondary contact. Here we apply genome‐wide analysis to parasites from a contact previously characterised

A novel hybrid model for species distribution prediction using probabilistic random forest, principal component analysis and genetic algorithm.

PLoS ONE
Probabilistic Random Forest is an extension of the traditional Random Forest machine learning algorithm that is one of the frequently used machine learning algorithms employed for species distribution modeling.

Variation in Relative Abundance of Small Mammal Species Caught in Two Different Ecosystems and Implicated in the Spread of Emerging Pathogens in Mali

Applied Sciences
Background: Small rodents and insectivores are potential reservoirs of many pathogens transmissible to humans, such as bacteria, parasites and viruses responsible for epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in West Africa.

Protective vaccination against papillomavirus-induced skin tumors under immunocompetent and immunosuppressive conditions: a preclinical study using a natural outbred animal model.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Certain cutaneous human papillomaviruses (HPVs), which are ubiquitous and acquired early during childhood, can cause a variety of skin tumors and are likely involved in the development of non-melanoma skin cancer, especially in immunosuppressed patients.

Dietary Response of Black‐Backed Jackals (Lupulella mesomelas) to Contrasted Land Use

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study examines dietary shifts in black‐backed jackals across different land‐use types using DNA metabarcoding. Results reveal that jackal diets vary significantly by landscape and season, with a strong reliance on sheep in livestock areas, selective feeding on greater kudu on game farms, and a broader, more even prey profile in nature reserves ...
