Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) represents a threat to animal and human health, with the ongoing H5N1 outbreak within the H5 2.3.4.4b clade being one of the largest on record. However, it rem...

Projected impacts of climate change on malaria burden in Africa by 2050 highlight the urgent need for climate-resilient malaria control strategies and robust emergency response systems to safeguard pr...

The fields of medicine and marketing use large data volumes and computational power to target individuals. This Perspective argues that applied ecologists should draw on such approaches to provide dec...

First ancient HHV-6 genomes reveal 2500 years of phylogenetic continuity and provide insights into the endogenization of HHV-6A.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being incorporated into public health strategies for vector-borne disease (VBD) management, offering several advances in surveillance, prediction, and cont...

Human actions have shaped ecosystems for thousands of years, and have profound effects on biodiversity and environmental processes. This Review explores the ways that humans have modified past ecosystems and the methods available for researchers to study these changes, as well as indicating how understanding historic change can inform conservation strategies.

Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) is changing our nocturnal landscape. Recent research reveals the negative impacts on biodiversity, including individu…

Infectious diseases pose a substantial threat to public health, affecting billions and straining health-care systems worldwide. There is growing concern over how anthropogenic climate change might agg...

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has emerged as an important data source for monitoring forest resources. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and Mobi…

The energy balance of a planet is set by the sunlight entering and the heat radiating back from it. Earth’s biosphere adds new complexity as energy flows through global marine and terrestrial ecosystems altering physical and chemical systems, including ...

Bats harbor diverse coronaviruses but temporal dynamics are less well studied. Here, the authors analyzed coronaviruses in Australian flying foxes over 3 years showing peak shedding and co-infections ...

River monitoring is a prevalent focus within citizen science projects. Despite numerous reports and institutional manuals detailing the monitoring techniques...

Terrestrial remote sensing approaches, such as acoustic monitoring, deliver finely resolved and reliable biodiversity data. However, the scalability of surveys is often limited by the effort, time and...

Bats fatten to cope in environments with seasonal energy shortages, gaining more weight in seasonally cold climates and in tropical climates with highly seasonal rainfall. In cold climates, females l...

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 16 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00063-8The global food system accelerates biodiversity loss, which in turn undermines the resilience and sustainability of food production. Strategic, coordinated action across the food system’s diverse actors and networks is essential to drive structural change and reverse biodiversity loss.

General ecosystem models (GEMs) have been framed as the ‘climate model’ equivalents for nature, but while the latter have been continuously improved and diversified for several decades already, the f...

Climate interventions increase beliefs, policy support, and willingness to share information but not higher effort action.

In a region like Flanders – dense, busy, and full of human activities of all shapes and sizes – the problem of noise pollution is increasingly recognized. We often think of that noise a…

Land use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity change and ecosystem functioning. Here the authors identify thresholds of grassland plant community structure and stability in response to la...

Ecological assemblages may be spatially organized by both context dependency and general processes. Here the authors find general patterns in the organization of regional biodiversity in biogeographic...

Scientific Reports - First national survey of terrestrial biodiversity using airborne eDNA

An expert-elicitation process identifies current methodological barriers for monitoring terrestrial biodiversity, and how technological and procedural development of robotic and autonomous systems may...
