Viral communities among sympatric vampire bats and cattle
, 2018 Vampire bats are the only mammals known to feed exclusively on blood from other animals, often from domestic cattle. We tested the hypothesis that the adaptation of vampire bats to hematophagy would have resulted in shared viral communities among vampire

Active Filtration of Airborne eDNA for Vertebrate Surveys in Tropical Caves
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 8, November 2026.ABSTRACT Hidden from sunlight, caves are remarkable subterraneous ecosystems that host a wide range of animals, including unique species. Conventional cave biodiversity surveys can be physically challenging, disturb sensitive vertebrate communities, or require animal collection.

Development and Validation of an Environmental DNA Workflow to Monitor Mosquito Populations
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.We designed a workflow for detecting mosquito eDNA in water. We validated the method with a lab experiment and occupancy‐detection modeling framework. We then tested the method in the field, validating it by parallel morphological identification. The method is robust, not affected by water volume and represents a useful tool for mosquito monitoring ...
