SARS-ANI: A Global Open Access Dataset of Reported SARS-CoV-2 Events in Animals

The paper compiles a global dataset of SARS-CoV-2 events in animals using health databases and provides tools for data validation and exploration.

SARS-CoV-2 has not emerged in roe, red or fallow deer in Germany or Austria during the COVID 19 pandemic

The paper tests deer samples from Germany and Austria for SARS-CoV-2 exposure and finds no evidence of infection during the pandemic.

Strong influence of vertebrate host phylogeny on gut archaeal diversity

This study investigates the influence of vertebrate host phylogeny on gut archaeal diversity using 16S rRNA sequencing, finding that host phylogeny explains diversity more than diet.

Coronavirus testing indicates transmission risk increases along wildlife supply chains for human consumption in Viet Nam, 2013-2014

The paper detects coronaviruses in wildlife along supply chains in Viet Nam, finding higher prevalence in animals sold in markets and restaurants, suggesting increased transmission risk to humans.

Large scale metagenome assembly reveals novel animal-associated microbial genomes, biosynthetic gene clusters, and other genetic diversity

The paper performs large-scale metagenome assembly of animal gut microbiomes, revealing novel microbial genomes, biosynthetic gene clusters, and genetic diversity across vertebrates.

Lek-associated movement of a putative Ebolavirus reservoir, the Hammer-headed fruit bat (Hypsignathus monstrosus), in northern Republic of Congo

This study tracks hammer-headed fruit bats to understand their movement patterns and supports the site as a lek, with males showing stronger association than females.

Host diet and evolutionary history explain different aspects of gut microbiome diversity among vertebrate clades

The paper examines how host evolutionary history and diet influence gut microbiome diversity across vertebrate clades using a large dataset of wild animals.

Taming the Late Quaternary phylogeography of the Eurasiatic wild ass through ancient and modern DNA

This study uses ancient and modern DNA to resolve the phylogeography of the Eurasiatic wild ass, identifying nine clades and clarifying the evolutionary history and gene flow between populations.
