Airborne DNA and Spider Webs Outperform Other eDNA Sources for Monitoring Terrestrial Vertebrates

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the strengths and limitations of different environmental DNA substrates is essential for optimising terrestrial vertebrate surveys and monitoring. However, the performance of newly explored substrates (airborne eDNA, vegetation swabs, spiderwebs) compared to longstanding eDNA sources (water and soil) is uncertain.

Native and Alien Ungulates in North America: Potential for Restoring Herbivore Diversity and Functions

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Large herbivores play key roles in ecosystems by promoting plant diversity, dispersing seeds, regulating nutrient cycling, and shaping vegetation structure. Since the Late Pleistocene, their declines have led to profound ecosystem changes. While often viewed as problematic, alien herbivores may partly compensate for these losses; yet their

Transcriptomic and Functional Comparison of Cells Isolated From Healthy and Degenerated Ovine Intervertebral Discs

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 2, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a leading cause of chronic low back pain, yet its cellular and molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Sheep represent a valuable in vivo and ex vivo model for IVDD due to their anatomical and biomechanical similarities with humans and the possibility to access disc samples at early ...

Experimental Evidence That Prenatal and Postnatal Developmental Stress Affects the Adult Seminal Fluid Proteome in a Precocial Bird

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Seminal fluid proteins are important modulators of male fertility and reproductive success, yet little is known about how their abundance responds to early‐life developmental stress. Japanese quail Coturnix japonica) males produce a unique seminal foam that enhances fertilisation success.
