Assessing the escalating biodiversity crisis, driven by climate change, habitat destruction, and exploitation, necessitates efficient monitoring strategies to assess species presence and abundance across diverse habitats. Video-based surveys using re...
Studying the biodiversity and multifunctionality relationships of the Hobq Desert shrub ecosystem and its response to environmental factors is crucial for ecological restoration in the region. In this study, we examined variations in biodiversity and...
Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning have revolutionised data analysis, including in the field of marine and fisheries sciences. However, many fisheries agencies manage sensitive or proprietary data that cannot be shared externall...
We present MBPert, a generic computational framework for inferring species interactions and predicting dynamics in time-evolving ecosystems from perturbation and time-series data. In this work, we contextualize the framework in microbial ecosystem mo...
Monitoring species' presence in an ecosystem is crucial for conservation and understanding habitat diversity, but can be expensive and time consuming. As a result, ecologists have begun using the DNA that animals naturally leave behind in water or so...
The Great Atlantic scallop, or King scallop (Pecten maximus), ranks third in value after mackerel and Nephrops in UK fisheries. Its landings have surged over recent decades, making it the UK's fastest-growing fishery. Scallop stock assessments, cruci...

In order to understand the role of horses in ecosystems and to effectively use their grazing in the protection of grasslands, it is important to assess where they primarily stay, followed by whether these habitats are used for grazing or resting. The...
Fishes of various trophic levels play an important role in the stability and balance of aquatic ecosystems. Metal contaminants can impair the survival and population fitness of fish at elevated concentrations. When universal water quality criteria (W...

Evaluating species' roles in food webs is critical for advancing ecological theories on competition, coexistence, and biodiversity but is complicated by pronounced dietary variability within species and overlap across species. We combined dietary DNA...
The increasing demand for natural medicine has increased the significance of Silybum marianum as a valuable medicinal plant. It is used to restore liver cells; reduce blood cholesterol; prevent prostate, skin, and breast cancer; and protect cervical ...
