The gut microbiome as an indicator of habitat disturbance in a Critically Endangered lemur
Habitat disturbance affects the biology and health of animals globally. Understanding the factors that contribute to the differential responses of animals to habitat disturbance is critical for conservation. T... (Source: BMC Evolutionary Biology)

Spatial population genetic structure and colony dynamics in Damaraland mole-rats (Fukomys damarensis) from the southern Kalahari
Non-random associations within and among groups of social animals can provide valuable insight into the function of group living and the evolution of social behaviour. Damaraland mole-rats (Fukomys damarensis) de... (Source: BMC Evolutionary Biology)

Applicability of several rooted phylogenetic network algorithms for representing the evolutionary history of SARS-CoV-2
Rooted phylogenetic networks are used to display complex evolutionary history involving so-called reticulation events, such as genetic recombination. Various methods have been developed to construct such netwo... (Source: BMC Evolutionary Biology)

Airborne environmental DNA metabarcoding detects more diversity, with less sampling effort, than a traditional plant community survey
Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) research is an emerging field that focuses on the detection of species from their genetic remnants in the air. The majority of studies into airborne eDNA of plants has until n... (Source: BMC Evolutionary Biology)
