Combining Indigenous Knowledge with Arctic Ocean modeling can strengthen climate science while supporting community needs, creating ongoing, two-way partnerships.

Emerging infectious disease outbreak risks are ubiquitous worldwide, and highest in landscapes where people, livestock and fragmented natural ecosystems coexist, but detection and data ...

An updated phylogeny of bats is presented, based on new genome assemblies and many ancient fossils and including all known bat families.

Post provided by Elena Baños Lara I am currently completing my PhD at the Centre for Advanced Studies of Blanes (CEAB-CSIC) in Spain, where I use environmental and sedimentary ancient DNA to explor…

Rising borrowing costs mean new financing instruments will be needed for developing economies to deal with climate change

Sampling specimens for DNA barcode reference generation

Our study demonstrates the power of combining differently-sourced and compiled datasets to evaluate the likely effectiveness of ongoing conservation strategies and identify future needs. Our findings...

Abstract. Replicated hybrid zones between ecotypes established over environmental gradients provide an opportunity to study the genomic architecture of bar

Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep-learning ar....

The Caspian Sea has been steadily losing water for nearly a quarter of a century, with the decline accelerating noticeably in recent years. Climate change — including...

The eared seals (family Otariidae) are divided into fur seals and sea lions, despite a lack of cladistic support for these groups. The division is primarily based on hair morphology, and it is unknow...

Environmental RNA (eRNA) can potentially augment the biological monitoring ability of the established environmental DNA (eDNA) application in conservation. Despite faster degradation, environmenta...

Understanding transmission routes of parasites and pathogens is critical for the development of control measures and mitigation of impacts on host populations. Trichomonas gallinae is a widespread pa...

Measuring inbreeding via runs of homozygosity (ROH) captures realized autozygosity and can infer inbreeding timing through ROH length. A growing body of literature links the proportion of the genome ....

South Australian authorities confirm the country's first H5N1 bird flu in a common dolphin, which was found dead on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Biodiversity databases have expanded dramatically over the past two decades, turning scattered observations into vast digital repositories of species occurrence records. General-purpose infrastructure...

Species discovery, yes. But also genetic diversity Protecting European biodiversity requires not only a detailed assessment of the species present in an ecosystem, but also a full characterization of ...
