Main result

Using an 18-year dataset across five Tohoku prefectures, we find that it reflects bears responding to a rhythm breakdown of the forest's food supply.

A streamlined proof of concept CRISPR-based environmental biosurveillance platform for the detection of closely related invasive rats
Using Rattus exulans, R. norvegicus, and R. rattus as a challenging model of closely related invasive vertebrates, SENTINEL achieved species-specific discrimination without detectable cross-reactivity and sensitivities of 10 aM for plasmid DNA and 10 fg/uL for genomic DNA.

First density and abundance estimate for the only East African Population of Western bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus eurycerus) in Semuliki National Park, Uganda
The model estimated a population size of 56.49 individuals (SE = 7.69; 95% CI = 41.43-71.56), with an estimated density of 0.58 individuals km-2 (SE = 0.171; 95% CI = 0.32-1.09) within Semuliki National Park.

Integrating dedicated and opportunistic surveys to estimate seasonal common dolphin density off mainland Portugal
We develop a spatiotemporal marked log-Gaussian Cox process that integrates four structurally distinct surveys through a shared intensity surface, comprising environmental covariates, a latent spatial field, and survey-specific detection functions.

Navigating between global robustness and fine-scale resolution: the potential of demographic inference based on identical-by-descent segments.
When demographic parameters varied across space, IBD-Analysis integrated local variation into biased global estimates, whereas MAPS captured spatial patterns but showed substantial variability and generated spurious spatial structure in homogeneous landscapes.
