Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Infectious diseases pose a significant threat to global health and biodiversity. Yet, predicting the spatiotemporal dynamics of wildlife epizootics remains challenging. Disease outbreaks result from complex nonlinear interactions among a large collection of variables that rarely adhere to the assumptions of parametric regression modeling.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Faeces serve as a widely used non‐invasive material in wildlife studies, from which host DNA can be enriched for high‐throughput sequencing. However, the characteristics of faecal DNA sequencing, particularly the relationship between sequencing volume and genotyping accuracy or genomic coverage, have remained unclear.

Megafaunal Rodents: Behaviour and Ecological Roles of Southeast Asian Forest Porcupines
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Southeast Asian porcupines (Malayan porcupine, Hystrix brachyura; brush‐tailed porcupine, Atherurus macrourus) performed at least four important ecological roles in a Malaysian rainforest. Burrows of both species were used in several ways by at least 22 animal species, while the soil above was potentially good sites for seedling recruitment. Porcupines
