Supervised Machine Learning Approach to Iron Meteorite Classification Using Random Forest: A Predictive Model to Classify Ungrouped Irons

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Iron meteorites provide insight into the formation processes of planetary cores from the early Solar System. Through further classifying individual irons into specific groups, which are assumed to represent a common parent body, greater information can be yielded into the formation processes of those bodies.

Elephant space use and habitat selection change across drought timescales

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1464-1475, August 2026.
Drought threatens wildlife worldwide, but little is known about wildlife behaviour during drought. This study combines 19 years of elephant GPS data with drought conditions at three timescales. Key findings include that elephants (i) move less during drought at a 1‐month timescale and (ii) change habitat selection across drought timescales.

Understanding mammal avoidance of human settlements

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1504-1517, August 2026.
Terrestrial mammals often avoid human settlements, but is this a result of human activity around buildings or the built infrastructure per se? Using data on animal movement before and during the COVID‐19 lockdowns, this paper disentangles these effects, showing how changes in human mobility affect animals' avoidance of buildings.

Searching for the beasts in the archive as methodological praxis

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
This article offers searching for the beasts in the archive as a methodological tool available to researchers invested in both anticolonialism and antianthropocentrism. By focusing on three basic units of reference—categories, histories, and borders—the article shows how searching for the beasts unsettles some taken‐for‐granted assumptions that ...

Rethinking Spatial Prioritisation for Primate Conservation in an Unprotected Intact Forest Landscape in the Gulf of Guinea

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 364-378, August 2026.
This study highlights the importance of the unprotected Yabassi Key Biodiversity Area, Cameroon, for primate conservation in the Gulf of Guinea biodiversity hotspot. We modelled primate distribution patterns and found that historically overlooked parts of the landscape have high species richness and are critical for some threatened species.

Tree Climbing in African Lions and Leopards

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tree climbing has been documented in most felids, but patterns, correlates, and possible functions of this behaviour are not well documented for all species, including the African lion. Using a comparative behavioural ecology approach and drawing on opportunistic field observations from multiple sites in northern Tanzania, I used Bayesian ...
