Rodent-driven NO3--N enrichment reshapes amoeba--bacteria co-occurrence and bacterial functional potential in burrow soils

This study shows rodent activity creates nitrate-rich soil microhabitats that alter amoeba-bacteria interactions and bacterial functional potential, potentially promoting pathogenic bacteria.

Deep learning-based photo-identification for non-invasive monitoring of animal populations: Application to penguins and tortoises

This paper introduces DL-ID, a deep learning framework for animal individual identification from images, achieving 87% accuracy with small datasets and outperforming existing methods in ecological research.
