Pliocene Forest Fragmentation Shaped Speciation in Tropical Asia's Giant Squirrels (Ratufa)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Tropical Asia's complex, dynamic geological and climatic history, coupled with its diverse topography, provides a fascinating setting to study evolutionary processes driving high biodiversity. This phylogenomic research reconstructs the evolutionary history of the strictly arboreal and forest‐dependent Oriental Giant Squirrels (Ratufa) to gain

Avian influenza overview September–November 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Between 6 September and 28 November 2025, 2896 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (442) and wild (2454) birds in 29 countries in Europe. The magnitude and geographical extent of these detections were unprecedented for this time of the year, particularly in wild birds.

DeepFaune New England: A Species Classification Model for Trail Camera Images in Northeastern North America

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
The DeepFaune New England model classifies wildlife species in trail camera images, identifying 24 taxa from northeastern North America with high (97%) accuracy. The model was adapted from the DeepFaune model for identifying European wildlife, demonstrating the practicality of transfer learning across continents. The majority of training data is openly

Seasonal activity changes in raccoon dogs and influences of environmental factors from autumn to winter

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Raccoon dogs Nyctereutes procyonoides are on the List of National Key Protected Wild Animals as Grade II in China; research on their wild populations is limited despite their conservation significance. In this context, we focused on seasonal activity changes from autumn to winter and their relationship to environmental and mammalian factors.

Finding the ghosts: Snow leopard density and distribution in the multi‐use region of Jammu and Kashmir, India

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
We assess the population of snow leopards in the multi‐use region of Paddar in Jammu and Kashmir, India. Alongside we also investigate local land uses and estimate snow leopard distribution across Jammu and Kashmir. This study adds to the evidence that big cats, especially snow leopards, need landscape‐level conservation strategies, rather than solely ...

Application of Invertebrate‐Derived DNA Barcoding (iDNA) in Blood Sucking Leeches From West Sumatra: A Discovery of Blue‐Eyed Litter Frog Leptobrachium waysapuntiense

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study explores the use of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) from haematophagous leeches to assess vertebrate biodiversity in the tropical rainforests of Indonesia. By applying Sanger sequencing with five primer sets, we detected 17 unique vertebrate taxa, including the rare Leptobrachium waysepuntiense, demonstrating the potential of iDNA as a ...
