Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

Testing the Rio Doce as a riverine barrier in shaping the Atlantic rainforest population divergence in the rodent Akodon cursor

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2010
Akodon cursor occurs in dense rainforest from northern (8º S) to southern (26º S) states along the Atlantic coast of Brazil. Previous karyological and molecular data revealed two major clades, one including northern (8-15º S) and the other southern (19 ...

Tracing Ancient Migration Routes: Did Gloydius Pitvipers Disperse Across Paleo‐Tibet Through Temperate and Subtropical Corridors?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We investigated the evolutionary and biogeographic history of Himalayan and Hindu Kush Gloydius pitvipers by integrating time‐calibrated phylogenetic analyses with paleoclimatic reconstructions and species distribution modeling. Our results suggest an early Miocene origin in East and Southeast Asia, followed by westward dispersal across Paleo‐Tibet via

Candida auris Infection Leading to Nosocomial Transmission, Israel, 2017

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
A patient transferred from South Africa to Israel acquired a Candida auris infection. Phylogenetic analysis showed resemblance of C. auris to isolates from South Africa but not Israel, suggesting travel-associated infection. C.

Human‐Mediated Dispersal Drives Global Invasion of Halyomorpha halys: A COI Haplotype and Mantel Test Analysis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We assembled a global mitochondrial COI dataset of 1039 sequences from 15 countries to assess genetic diversity and test whether patterns of genetic differentiation in the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) are consistent with isolation by distance (IBD) or isolation by environment (IBE).

Prediction of the Spatial Origin of Puumala Virus Infections Using L Segment Sequences Derived from a Generic Screening PCR

open access: yesViruses, 2019
To screen diagnostic specimens for the presence of hantavirus genomes or to identify new hantaviruses in nature, the pan-hanta L-PCR assay, a broadly reactive nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay targeting the L segment ...

DNA Extraction Optimisation for Minute Land Snails of Vertigo Müller, 1773 (Gastropoda: Vertiginidae): A Comparative Evaluation of Six Methods, Including a Non‐Destructive Shell‐Preserving Protocol

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We compared six DNA extraction methods for minute Vertigo land snails, including a rapid non‐destructive HotSHOT protocol that preserves shells. The shell‐preserving protocol produced sequenceable DNA from very small and conservation‐relevant specimens while retaining voucher morphology.

Community‐level egg and larval trait interactions with the Amazon River plume determine its role as a dispersal barrier

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Amazon River plume (ARP) functions as a dynamic and porous biogeographic barrier whose permeability to larval dispersal depends on the interplay between species' biological traits and oceanographic processes. Using biophysical modeling combined with a dual analytical framework, namely a multivariate regression tree (MRT) and a generalized additive ...
