The paper assesses seal-to-seal transmission pathways of HPAI H5N1 among southern elephant seals using movement data, finding potential but unlikely spread between colonies.

This study tracks the spread and evolution of H5N1 in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica, revealing long-distance dispersal and mammalian-adaptive mutations.

This study confirms the first H5N1 infection in Antarctic ice-dependent seals and identifies multiple introductions of the virus in the region.

This study finds that geometric graphs are the most frequently predicted model for animal social networks across species and data collection methods.

This study identifies three co-circulating SARS-CoV-2 lineages with distinct demographic dynamics using phylogenetic analysis.

The paper examines how urbanization affects gene flow and genetic diversity in pumas across rural and urban landscapes in Colorado, finding reduced gene flow in urban areas but no change in genetic diversity.

The paper uses pathogen co-occurrence networks in Serengeti lions to show chronic infections influence acute pathogen infections through facilitative and competitive interactions.
