A novel quantitative real-time PCR diagnostic assay for fecal and nasal swab detection of an otariid lungworm, Parafilaroides decorus

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Parafilaroides decorus, also known as sea lion lungworm, is a metastrongyloid nematode that infects otariid hosts, such as the charismatic California sea lion, Zalophus californianus. P. decorus causes bronchointerstitial pneumonia, respiratory distress,

Morphology and function of pinniped necks: The long and short of it

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 12, Page 3175-3185, December 2025.
Abstract Terrestrial vertebrates from at least 30 distinct lineages in both extinct and extant clades have returned to aquatic environments. With these transitions came numerous morphological adaptations to accommodate life in water. Relatively little attention has been paid to the cervical region when tracking this transition.

Host Traits Impact the Outcome of Metagenomic Library Preparation From Dental Calculus Samples Across Diverse Mammals

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Dental calculus metagenomics has emerged as a valuable tool for studying the oral microbiomes of humans and a few select mammals. With increasing interest in wild animal microbiomes, it is important to understand how widely this material can be used across the mammalian tree of life, refine the related protocols and understand the expected ...

Marine mammal recovery is associated with the resurgence of a nematode parasite

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract As the oceans change, the abundance of parasites and the risk of infection to marine mammals may also be changing. Nematodes in the family Anisakidae can harm marine mammals, and recent studies have revealed a global increase in these parasites, but the cause is unknown.

DNA Divers: Volunteer‐based eDNA capture for local and global marine biodiversity monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2431-2447, October 2025.
Abstract Volunteer‐based biodiversity recording is a powerful source of scalable data yet to be used to its full potential by the scientific community. Coastal ecosystems are varied and diverse, making it difficult for managers to identify flexible methods for monitoring biological components.
