Article Abstract

New technologies for monitoring biodiversity such as environmental (e)DNA, passive acoustic monitoring, and optical sensors promise to generate automated spatiotemporal community observations at unprecedented scales and resolutions. Here, we introduce 'novel community data' as an umbrella term for these data. We review the emerging field around novel community data, focusing on new ecological questions that could be addressed; the analytical tools available or needed to make best use of these data; and the potential implications of these developments for policy and conservation. We conclude that novel community data offer many opportunities to advance our understanding of fundamental ecological processes, including community assembly, biotic interactions, micro- and macroevolution, and overall ecosystem functioning.

Concerningly, multidrug-resistant bacteria have emerged as a prime worldwide trouble, obstructing the treatment of infectious diseases and causing doubts about the therapeutic accidentalness of presently existing drugs. Novel antimicrobial interventions deserve development as conventional antibiotics are incapable of keeping pace with bacteria evolution. Various promising approaches to combat MDR infections are discussed in this review.

Residues of veterinary antibiotics such as tylosin in soils can induce selective pressure on indigenous soil microbes and increase the dissemination risk of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) by horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which poses a serious threat to both soil and public health. While conventional bioremediation methods face challenges in efficiency and stability, enzyme-based approaches offer promising alternatives. This study developed a novel biochar-immobilized tylosin-degrading enzyme (BIE) system to simultaneously address tylosin contamination and antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) proliferation in agricultural soils.

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is increasingly used as a complementary tool for monitoring drug use at the population level, providing anonymized, real-time estimates of community drug consumption. Site-specific applications of WBE can identify localized patterns that national or municipal surveys may overlook. This study presents the first comprehensive, site-specific assessment of illicit drug use in South Korea using WBE.
