The paper evaluates environmental sampling gaps in a 20-year hantavirus surveillance program in Panama and proposes strategies to improve future pathogen surveillance.

This study uses mitochondrial DNA and whole-genome sequence data to analyze species boundaries, diversification times, and hybridization in Andean leaf-eared mice, finding that diversification coincided with Pleistocene climate changes and ongoing hybridization between two species.

The paper introduces Arctos, a community-driven collection management system for biodiversity and cultural data, emphasizing its role in enabling research, education, and sustainable data governance.

The paper recovers a nearly complete Choclo virus genome from archived museum tissues using deep metatranscriptomics and reference-guided assembly.

This study sequenced the genome of the long-tailed goral to analyze its genetic diversity, historical demography, and immune-related genes, finding low heterozygosity and signs of positive selection.

This paper compares genomes of 81 nematode and platyhelminth species to identify gene families related to parasitism and prioritize new drug targets.
