Navigating between global robustness and fine-scale resolution: the potential of demographic inference based on identical-by-descent segments.

This study evaluates two IBD-based methods for estimating effective density and dispersal variance, finding that IBD-Analysis performs better under spatially homogeneous conditions while MAPS captures spatial patterns but introduces noise in uniform landscapes.

NeMO: a flexible R package for nested multi-species occupancy modelling and eDNA study optimization

NeMO is an R package that models multi-species occupancy from eDNA data, estimates detectability, and optimizes survey design by calculating minimal sampling effort.

Improving the monitoring of the invasive Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus): combining environmental DNA and citizen observations

This study validates an eDNA qPCR assay for detecting invasive Blue Crabs in the Mediterranean and integrates citizen science to enhance monitoring.

Global connectivity and networks of marine reserves

The paper identifies ecologically connected marine reserve networks and evaluates their socio-economic characteristics, finding that some networks span multiple countries with diverse economic and cultural backgrounds.

Fast processing of environmental DNA metabarcoding sequence data using convolutional neural networks

This paper uses convolutional neural networks to process eDNA metabarcoding data, achieving faster speeds than OBITools while maintaining comparable accuracy.

Species ecology explains the various spatial components of genetic diversity in tropical reef fishes

The paper investigates how ecological traits influence genetic diversity components in tropical reef fishes, finding that abundance and larval duration affect genetic diversity patterns.
