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

Hydro‐Insurgency: Weaponization of Water Resources and Infrastructure in Northeast Syria
World Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 924-938, November 2025.ABSTRACT This article examines the strategic weaponization of water resources by Turkey‐backed armed groups in Northeast Syria (NES) within the broader context of the Syrian civil war. As the conflict evolved, water infrastructure—dams, rivers, and irrigation systems—became central to warfare, governance, and foreign agendas. The article introduces the

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell
Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 853-881, October 2025.Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Ongoing depletion of Iran's groundwater, driven by human extraction, has contributed to 106 incidences of basin‐scale, land‐surface subsidence covering 31,400 km2 (> ${ >} $10 mm/yr, 1.9%) of the country. We use Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar time series to map and analyze, for the first time, surface velocities within ...

Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 4, Page 339-351, August 2025.We investigated sex and seasonal differences in the road crossing behavior of Asian black bears (Ursus thibetanus) living in central Honshu Island, Japan, as an example of wildlife risk‐taking behavior in a highly fragmented landscape. Our results show that Asian black bears generally avoid crossing roads, and that there are seasonal differences in ...
