The paper confirms the presence of HPAI H5N1 2.3.4.4b in Antarctic regions, identifies vulnerable species, and evaluates rapid antigen tests for surveillance.

The paper uses genomic data to show that European gray wolves face significant conservation risks despite population growth.

The paper analyzes 1,001 wolf genomes to reveal distinct evolutionary lineages and genetic health issues across Europe, highlighting the need for region-specific conservation strategies.

The paper uses whole genomes of wolves across Eurasia to study their genetic diversity and evolutionary history, finding major lineage barriers and admixture events shaping their genetic structure.

The paper examines whether body color polymorphism in birds correlates with ecological success, finding that polymorphic species have larger ranges, lower extinction risk, and more stable populations.

This study documents increased bird captures during a solar eclipse, challenging expectations of decreased activity, using 11 years of banding records from a single location.
