Thinking inside and outside the box: Comparing the efficacy of camera trap designs for surveying small mammals
Camera trap studies of small mammals promise to reveal important insights into species ecologies. In this study we demonstrate that going beyond simple camera adjustments and instead providing species-appropriate structures can improve detection performance (also see Caravaggi et al., 2020; Mos & Hofmeester, 2020; Fink & Jachowski, 2025; Dueser, Porter & Moncrief, 2025).
Beyond data gaps: how prior knowledge in the Gulf of California drives spatial biases in whale survey efforts
In this study, we analysed the spatial distribution of whale survey effort in the Gulf of California to evaluate whether observed gaps in biological information primarily reflect insufficient sampling or, alternatively, the cumulative effects of prior knowledge guiding survey decisions. Our results demonstrate that only a small fraction of spatial units can be considered well surveyed, and that this pronounced spatial bias persists across all spatial resolutions analysed.

Using natural history collections to investigate changes in pangolin (Pholidota: Manidae) geographic ranges through time
Introduction Pangolins (Pholidota: Manidae) are insectivorous mammals found in parts of Africa and Asia (Hua et al., 2015). They are considered the world’s most trafficked wild mammal due to significant consumer demand for their scales and meat (Challender, Harrop & MacMillan, 2015; Cheng, Xing & Bonebrake, 2017).
