The paper investigates Borrelia infections in black flying foxes, finding two novel haplotypes distinct from known zoonotic clades.

The paper develops a hierarchical model to better understand eDNA fate and transport dynamics, particularly in low concentration samples, and provides evidence of eDNA removal rates and inhibitor effects.

This study quantifies GIT passage times in volant vertebrates, finding faster transit times in bats and birds compared to non-volant species, with implications for gut microbiome convergence.
