Drone photogrammetry reveals contrasting body conditions of dugongs across the Indo‐Pacific

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 701-718, December 2025.
The monitoring of body condition has gained traction as a way to provide early warning signals of population decline, prompting conservation actions. However, the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of body condition variations are rarely investigated.

Assessing the Giant Panda Protected Areas and Habitat Trends for Sympatric Endangered Species: A Climate Change Perspective

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Here, we used a tuned MaxEnt model to investigate concurrent habitat trends of giant pandas and sympatric endangered species—forest musk deer—under various climate scenarios in the Liangshan Mountains. Additionally, we assessed the effectiveness of protected area boundaries designed for flagship species.

Historical Collections of Tropical Marine Mammals Are an Excellent Resource for Ancient DNA

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The ability to predict ancient DNA sequencing success in natural history collections is critical to reducing the amount of destructive sampling of a finite resource. So far, studies investigating such success have predominantly focused on taxa with ranges restricted to temperate or cold environments at northern latitudes, which likely aids DNA
