This paper evaluates the use of high-resolution 3D scanners for insect taxonomic classification, finding that they can identify six out of ten specimens to species level but have limitations with smaller specimens.

This study generates genomic sequences for Galapagos iguanas to explore their evolutionary history and identify genes associated with marine adaptation, pigmentation, and DNA damage responses.

This paper assesses the impact of Caspian Sea level decline on ecosystems and protected areas, advocating for dynamic conservation planning to maintain biodiversity and infrastructure relevance.

The paper evaluates co-occurrence networks from eDNA metabarcoding data to infer species interactions in a coastal marine ecosystem, finding limited trophic interactions and methodological challenges.

This study conducts a viral metagenomic survey of Caspian seals to assess viral diversity and identify potential novel species, finding similarities to other pinniped viromes and reporting new influenza B sequences.

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to track spatiotemporal changes in prey species for marine mammals in a Scottish MPA, revealing patterns in forage fish abundance and predator-prey spatial partitioning.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of using commercial ferries to collect marine eDNA samples, enabling systematic biodiversity surveys in hard-to-reach areas.
