Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Human infrastructures are among the most impactful wildlife threats. Although estimates of animal mortality by these structures exist over a given period, they typically do not account for several levels of imperfect detection (i.e. difference between recorded and true mortality).

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Long‐read amplicon sequencing is now routine for fungal metabarcoding, and locating the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) subregions within reads has become a throughput bottleneck. Existing extractors were designed for shorter reads and for datasets in which near‐identical sequences are common, and neither assumption holds for Oxford Nanopore

Standardizing assessment of novel methods for ecological data collection
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Methodological advances in ecology enable more efficient data collection, yet researchers need to clearly and consistently report the ways in which these methods benefit their own research within the context of their specific needs. Here, we advocate for greater standardization and transparency when assessing new ecological data collection ...

Individual bird identification by modelling temporal structure in bioacoustic embeddings
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Identifying individual animals from vocalizations is an emerging research area in computational bioacoustics. This non‐invasive approach reduces reliance on physical capture and tagging for wildlife monitoring. Recent advances in this area leverage deep learning and bioacoustic foundation models adapted from species‐level classifiers. However,

Enhanced fish detection sensitivity in aquatic systems using environmental RNA
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental RNA (eRNA) can potentially augment the biological monitoring ability of the established environmental DNA (eDNA) application in conservation. Despite faster degradation, environmental RNA could offer unique advantages: it may help reduce the legacy signal compared to eDNA, provide insights into physiological status through gene ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract As long‐read amplicon sequencing becomes routine for fungal metabarcoding, species‐level abundance estimation from ITS amplicons remains limited by naive best‐hit classification. Assigning each read to its single highest‐scoring reference misattributes reads among closely related species that share similar ITS sequences, and divides the reads ...
