Different analytical techniques used on the same data set may lead to different conclusions
about the existence and strength of genetic structure. Therefore, reliable interpretation of the …

Bat guano is a relatively untapped reservoir of information, having great utility as a DNA
source because it is often available at roosts even when bats are not and is an easy type of …

Habitat fragmentation and associated reduced dispersal of wildlife can lead to an accumulation
of related individuals in fragments. The altered kin interactions and amplified chance of …

Forests and woodlands are under continuing pressure from urban and agricultural
development. Tree-dependent mammals that rarely venture to the ground are likely to be highly …

Environmental (e)DNA has rapidly become a powerful biomonitoring tool, particularly in
aquatic ecosystems. This approach has not been as widely adopted in terrestrial communities …

Bats are prodigious consumers of agricultural and forest pests, and are, therefore, a natural
asset for agricultural productivity, suppressing populations of such pests. This study provides …

DNA metabarcoding assays are powerful tools for delving into the DNA in wildlife feces,
giving unprecedented ability to detect species, understand natural history, and identify …

Brucellosis is a common livestock disease in the Middle East and North Africa, but remains
poorly described in the region both genetically and epidemiologically. Traditionally found in …

Vegetation is an underutilized medium for environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling. eDNA
methods leveraging water as a substrate exclude application to many terrestrial species. The …

Simple Summary Nectar-feeding bats may leave DNA behind on flowers and this DNA may
be detectible with genetic tools. Determining whether this is the case is important because …
