AbstractOver the last 30 years, as ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB) has become more theoretical, experimental, and data driven, there has been a growing worry that the space for natural history ...

Nature Reviews Biodiversity - Biodiversity science laments how little is known about the planet’s biodiversity, yet routinely discards much of the taxonomic evidence generated during species...

A unique open access collection on ecological and environmental parasitology in marine and freshwater. Covers climate change and parasite conservation.

This review explores global applications of environmental DNA (eDNA) and invertebrate-derived DNA (iDNA) for surveying terrestrial and semi-aquatic mammals. By providing a comprehensive overview of t...

Recent advances in long-read sequencing (LRS) and assembly algorithms have made it possible to create highly complete genome assemblies for humans, animals, plants and other eukaryotes. However, there...

Millions of species remain undescribed, requiring molecular and morphological diagnoses. However, no efficient software reliably derives and tests —state-specific and contrastive— molecular diagnoses....

Egan et al. report the discovery of a new trophic interaction in nature whereby a parasitic plant attacks multiple species of insects that manipulate plant tissue when the two co-occur on a shared pri...

Diet is one of the determinants of ungulate ecology. However, there have been few studies of the diet of sympatric ungulates in western Canada. We used DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples to evaluate t...

Wildlife crossing structures seem like a simple and attractive solution to help animals across roads. But how well do they actually work? This latest global research summary tried to find out. 

The upland moa was likely drawn to the fungi because of their resemblance to berries, scientists say, allowing the creature to fill a role typically played by mammals

Climate change is forcing species to shift their distribution ranges. Animal seed dispersers might be particularly important in assisting plants tracking suitable climates to higher elevations. Howe.....

Most arthropod species are undescribed and hidden in specimen-rich samples that are difficult to sort to species using morphological characters. For such samples, sorting to putative species with DNA...
