A method to estimate actual infrastructure‐induced mortality by integrating hierarchical sources of imperfect detection

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Human infrastructures are among the most impactful wildlife threats. Although estimates of animal mortality by these structures exist over a given period, they typically do not account for several levels of imperfect detection (i.e. difference between recorded and true mortality).

ITSxRust: ITS Region extraction with partial‐chain recovery and structured diagnostics for long‐read amplicon sequencing

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐read amplicon sequencing is now routine for fungal metabarcoding, and locating the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) subregions within reads has become a throughput bottleneck. Existing extractors were designed for shorter reads and for datasets in which near‐identical sequences are common, and neither assumption holds for Oxford Nanopore

EMITS: Expectation–maximization abundance estimation for fungal ITS communities from long‐read sequencing

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract As long‐read amplicon sequencing becomes routine for fungal metabarcoding, species‐level abundance estimation from ITS amplicons remains limited by naive best‐hit classification. Assigning each read to its single highest‐scoring reference misattributes reads among closely related species that share similar ITS sequences, and divides the reads ...

Balancing Fire Regimes and Population Dynamics for the Conservation of a Microendemic Lizard From a Biodiversity Hotspot

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Disturbance from fire mediates a potential ecophysiological trade‐off between adult performance and juvenile recruitment in the microendemic lizard Ameivula jalapensis. While open, burned habitats enhance adult thermoregulation and condition, unburned patches remain critical for juvenile thermal optima.

Methodology to identify ecologically matching areas and its applications in conservation planning

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying ecologically matching areas is both challenging and critical for understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity and advancing conservation planning. However, existing approaches often lack spatial flexibility, overlook shape and size constraints, or rely on limited environmental parameters, reducing their effectiveness in real ...

Effects of essential amino acids on phagostimulation and reproduction in adults of the Mediterranean fruit fly Efectos de amino ácidos esenciales en la fago‐estimulación y reproducción en adultos de la mosca de las frutas del Mediterráneo

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
The phagostimulation and reproductive effects of individual essential amino acids, without other nutrient except fructose, were investigated. Methionine, Arginine and Leucine display significantly higher phagostimulation strength than fructose. Arginine and Methionine showed a significant improvement in reproductive activity compared to other tested ...

From Indicator to Prediction: Five Decades of Biochemical Oxygen Demand Research in Tropical Freshwaters

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) remains a core indicator of organic pollution in freshwater monitoring, but its role in water policy and practice is changing as water‐quality assessment moves toward predictive, integrative, and decision‐support approaches.

Monitoring wildlife health for diseases with visible signs by integrating camera traps with marked individuals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Monitoring wildlife health is essential for conservation and management, wildlife and livestock welfare, and public health in a One Health framework. Yet, wildlife health monitoring often requires long‐term fieldwork and intensive sampling, which can be costly or logistically challenging, especially for remote, rare, or elusive populations. To

The Renal Function of the Wild Rodent Cerradomys goytaca Reveals Adaptations in the Mechanisms of Urinary Concentration and Solute Excretion

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 7, Page 772-784, August 2026.
Renal adaptations of Cerradomys goytaca associated with survival in its natural habitat. Graphical Abstract of the main renal physiological characteristics identified in C. goytaca. This species exhibits an increased kidney mass index, elevated urine osmolality, and enhanced tubular water reabsorption, indicating a higher capacity for water ...
