Social organization and habitat use shape the gut microbiome of a marine fish

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first evidence linking habitat use—and to a lesser extent social organization—to gut microbiome composition in a wild marine fish. The results indicate that local habitat conditions are the primary driver of microbial variation, while social effects are detectable but weak.

Preserving evidence integrity in full file system extractions: Assessing hash inconsistencies and potential solutions

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Smartphone manufacturers' enhanced privacy and security measures, such as File‐Based Encryption (FBE), have disrupted traditional data extraction techniques, necessitating the adoption of Full File System Extraction (FFS). FFS requires booting a smartphone, decrypting its UserData partition, and accessing files individually, a process that ...

Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...

Optimal deep learning activity recognition pipeline using animal bio‐logging data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal activity recognition using supervised machine learning on bio‐logging data has revolutionized behavioural studies on wildlife and livestock over the past decade. These studies' analytic pipelines differ substantially though, being based on various sensors, features, algorithms and hyperparameter values, which has caused suboptimal or ...

Relationships Between European Wildcats and Domestic Cats in an Area of Sympatry: Exploring Key Conservation Questions on Hybridization and Disease Transmission

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We have found evidence of behavioural barriers for both hybridization and disease transmission between European wildcats and domestic cats. This includes hierarchical interspecies exclusion enforced by wildcats, as well as sexual selection exerted by wildcat females.
