Bite-DNA Shows Substantial Browsing on Willows (<i>Salix</i> spp.) by North American Bison in Yellowstone National Park. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRiparian willows in Yellowstone National Park are shaped by ungulate browsing, but species‐specific contributions remain unclear. Using bite‐DNA metabarcoding of browsed willow twigs across six northern range sites, we found that American bison were the most frequent browsers, exceeding elk and often mule deer.

Multilocus Phylogeny of Asiatic Striped Squirrels (Sciuridae, <i>Tamiops</i>) Reveals Their Evolutionary Relationships and Species Limits. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe genus Tamiops has long been underestimated in terms of species diversity due to reliance on seasonal fur coloration. This study integrates mitochondrial whole‐genome and nuclear gene data to identify seven monophyletic lineages, elevating T. maritimus hainanus to independent species status.
